Cursed Townsperson
Level 17 Monster · Perdition
Cursed Townsperson is one of the monster threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 17.
Field notes
Former residents who died in the second burning of Perdition. They look fully human from a distance — right clothes, right posture, wrong gait — and melt into ash on defeat. Hostile to all.
What you are walking into
Cursed Townsperson is level 17, carries 221 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 Cursed Townsperson plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Cursed Townsperson
Cursed Townsperson is encountered at Perdition. 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 Perdition covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 272 experience and between $8 and $17. Its loot table can yield Wraith Dust, Cold Core Residue and Ash. 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.
