Sorry 'bout that - seemed pretty plain to me.

That or the Fear Rating of the nasty who did the gruesome event.

Not true - new cards are not received until the end of the scene.
True, if nothing happens between the horror event and the end of the
scene it has little effect, but if the GM knows that there is still
combat or some other kind of encounter to come before the scene ends,
taking cards is an appropriate thing for the PoF to do.

They should do that anyway.  The mechanics of the PoF are there to
insure that the characters are affected as if they are scared,
regardless of how their players act.

I doubt they were able to get all of them, but probably a sizable portion.

WEG hasn't said where the edeinos are being taken; I believe that they
are probably dropping them off in North America, probably near some
Living Land reality trees.  The Western Land is another possibility.

Haven't seen any talk on GEnie from WEG about it so I would guess it
isn't on its way to stores yet.

Good question...hopefully soon (though if they wait much longer
Infiniverse Update vol. 2 will be out and they'll have an excuse not
to do one for a while.)
