After her father died, Marion moved to Arkham from Narragansett Bay. She purchased a boat with her friend, Annalise Taylor, and the two found a new home among the city's fishing community. One stormy night at sea, Annalise was pulled overboard by a strange fish-like creature. Marion leapt into the water and pulled Annalise from the creature's jaws - costing Marion her right arm. Since then, she keeps a weather eye on the choppy waters of the Atlantic and the strange creatures that hide in its depths.

FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)

Q: I have a question about Marion's ability timing. Suppose I am playing as Marion and have an enemy engaged with me. I provoke an attack of opportunity. I use Counterpunch (2) in response to that, which occurs "before resolving the attack." I do not defeat the enemy. I trigger Marion's investigator ability to draw and then play another event. Is that second event still "before resolving the attack?" Does this mean that (for example) I could play another Fight event that does not normally have a "before resolving the attack" timing (ex: Monster Slayer) to defeat the enemy and therefore not take the attack? Thank you! A: Yes. To walk through it: you’d trigger/initiate the attack of opportunity, then immediately play Counterpunch (2), then after resolving the event trigger and resolve Marion’s ability to allow you to play a new event such as Monster Slayer and resolve it, and only after that would you resolve the attack of opportunity if the enemy is still in play. (This is an example of a “nested sequence.”) (Ruling, May 2025)

Reviews

Marion is very broad in terms of ways to build her deck, so in writing this review I'll provide an overview rather than the impossible task of summarising ever possible deck style you can make with her. I've broken this down into a couple of sections, and provided a couple of exemplar decks around specific concepts.

I hope the review has been useful in showcasing what you can do with Marion. In particular, I think there's been so many good and distinct Marion decks already that there's a lot of inspiration to draw on! Let me know your thoughts.

Detective finds her arm in her sleeve, school-play style. — MrGoldbee · 1497
@MrGoldbee lol at the mental image of that! — HungryColquhoun · 9988
That Detective is so stubborn that he Denies the Existence of an amputation... and it works. — DrOGM · 25
I wonder If her ability triggers an attack of opportunity, when playing the second event (lets say emergency cache)?)? — muzi · 1
I believe it doesn't trigger attacks of opportunity since it is Fast. — AndersGabrielsson · 1
