Heroic Mode v2.1

Changes
> Lowered several monster's DODGE at early levels. They will rapidly increase at higher levels, which serves as an ACC check for heroes. Some monsters might have very high DODGE, but it is balanced with lower HP or some other stats.

> Adjustments to several monsters

Updated Description

> Fixed Arbalest Stacking Heal not being nerfed (I'm awful at testing).

> Fixed Arbalest's Battlefield Bandage curing bleed on herself instead of its target.

> Farmstead Light Effects: Each light provides extremely impactful changes, which will require a flexible party to be able to kill monsters in different situations.

> New Skills: Added brand-new abilities to champion-level-only monsters (Swine Skiver, Squiffy Ghast, Bone Bearer and Hateful Virago) and to the collector:

Lifebloom (Hateful Virago): Heals 5 points each turn to an ally for 5 turns. The last turn heals for 40HP.

Wild Hunt (Swine Skiver): Gains stealth for 1 turn. +100% Crit while stealthed.

Death's Embrace (Skeleton Bearer): Gains +50% Damage Reflection for 4 turns.

Alluring Tune (Squiffy Ghast): Summons a Cove monster.

Dying Light (The Collector): Reduces heroes's healing by 10% for 1 battle.


> Reworked Shrieker Encounter: It no longer ends at turn 5, while still unescapable. Recovering trinkets from this quest will now be a risky challenge. Skills are deadlier, and hitting the Shrieker can cause Blight and Disease (he's kinda like AIDS with wings).



> Greatly increased loot in low light. Greatly increased monster DMG, ACC and CRIT in low light too.

> Buffed health restored by food. Buffed hp and stress healed at camping. Slightly increased camping time.
Heavy damage if food checks are not met.

> Reduced heroes surprise chance even more.

> Increased stress healed on crit.

> Tweaked several monster stats. Overall nerfed a bit Champion-level monsters, considering they are to be fought against in Endless Harvest.

> Arbalest's Battlefield Bandage now cures Bleed. Nerfed healing buff to compensate.

> Buffed "The Thirst" skills, now dealing +30% damage VS Bleeding.
