Vagabond Priest
Level 20 Outlaw · The Abandoned Monastery
In Desperados Destiny, Vagabond Priest is a level 20 outlaw — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
A renegade who wears the monks' vestments ironically, looting the monastery for religious goods to sell at the Frontera black market. He attacks any witness; the vestments offer no protection, and he doesn't believe in that anyway.
What you are walking into
Vagabond Priest is level 20, carries 220 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Vagabond Priest plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Vagabond Priest
Vagabond Priest is encountered at The Abandoned Monastery. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for The Abandoned Monastery covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 360 experience and between $8 and $20. Its loot table can yield Ancient Artifacts, Stolen Goods and Old Books. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
