Good concept, too. I would make this Location Unique. Also, you forgot a
cost to play the card - I´d suggest 2 Nuyen, since it´s very dangerous
to use and its positive effect doesn´t last.

Trash after encountered? I´d add this to (1).

Very powerful, but a feast for a bunch of trolls.
How about this addition: the Barghests attack the present Runner with
the highest added unmodified (except by damage) attack/body value.
Excess damage must be distributed among the other present Runners as
evenly as possible.

This way, sleaze decks still have a slight chance of survival if they
can´t Sleaze the Challenge.

I´d make his cost 4 Nuyen.
