In these quests, you will attempt to stop the perpetrators of a dark ritual from reanimating a host of powerful undead warriors.

Heroes: Laurel of Bloodwood, Shiver, Trenloe the Strong, Elder Mok Monsters: Razorwings, Beastmen, Bane spiders. 2 quests. The variety of the chosen heroes makes, narrative wise, a cool self contained team. The monster selection, on the other hand, lacks a strong one, which puts it in a disadvantage compared to the other H&M Packs. Good sculpts in general.

(Bought to gain out-of-print 1st Ed. miniatures) Laurel Bloodwood is pretty badass. Shiver... not so much. The new minis for Mok and Trenloe are very good. All of the monsters I had already from 1st Ed. vanilla. The Beastmen are very dynamic - I'm sure to eventually replace my master beastmen with these. Bane Spiders are a slight improvement (replacement masters again, probably). Razorwings have goofy chicken legs, but have their wings folded above them so you can actually have them standing next to each other in a corridor - much better.

Not sure how to rate the Hero and Monster collections. They are not worth the money and do not add much in terms of gameplay. But they add more (mostly well-designed!) stuff to one of my favorite games of all time. Favorites from Oath of the Outcast are Shiver and Elder Mok. The beastmen, razorwings and bane spiders are also all classics from old Descent.
