Cardani, Stapura, Ouglu and Kalnetan stand against the newest threat that has come to collect the lives of survivors. Somehow this Manhunter seems a little different, the veins of his muscular body bulging in vivid black.
As survivors prepare to fight the Manhunter, Kalnetan picks up the newfound Knowledge Worm, and since his eyesight is scarred we may never know what he saw in the maggot, but as it happened - Kalnetan ate the vermin, becoming Necromancer in the process.
It's odd how I keep underestimating these survivors. I was expecting a tough fight, but... Showdown lasted three rounds, with only damage to survivors coming from brain damage of Gun Action and stakes. Monster reactions ate through two Dried Acanthuses and... that's it. Ouglu deals the killing blow with Vespertine Bow, and as a consequence learns the true meaning of war. He teaches some of it to Flopura, Stapura and Murrano. Only outsiders can understand these ruthless views of life.
Perhaps Manhunter went down so easily because greater danger was lying within. After the decomposes into a husk, survivors are struck with dread as Slenderking starts to materialize in front of their eyes!
Danalne, being the savior, woke up to the situation first and took up arms, calling Ouglu, Cardani and Stapura to fight alongside her to repel this double-invader.
And what a horrifying fight it was.
The Slenderking just kept out of reach, and kept ensnaring the survivors time after time. There even was an occasion when every single survivor was ensnared into the moist void (and much to my amazement, everyone escaped with their Struggle -roll) and when survivors finally were about to engage the monster, about fourth card from the top of the hit location deck was the trap.
Danalne fished out the trap fairly well with her effective evasion +6, but that trap is terrifying in its own right to all other survivors, too.
Things started to look a bit brighter when Cardani managed to deal eight wounds in two attacks. Out of the monster's sixteen wounds nine were dealt by Cardani, and seven were by Ouglu with Verdant Bow.
I couldn't have done it without Necromancer's Eye, though. Once the trap was gone, it was no longer the fourth card from the top. It was the third. And from then on Danalne used Necromancer's Eye to get everyone else three hit locations worth of chances. This was slowed down when the elderly savior received Ghostly Beauty disorder from gripping Cardani back to reality.
Settlement had developed a second pair of Bandages for the Manhunter fight. Good thing I had them here, because three out of four survivors would have died to bleed tokens alone if Ouglu and Stapura weren't there to staunch the flow.
Rewards were whopping four dark waters, love juice and iron. So at least there was something coming from the epic battle everyone forgot right away after the victory.
Lantern Year 17: Hunt Re-enactment
The last showdown was so challenging, yet nobody remembers it because Slenderking made everyone forget. However, something remains in muscle memory. Favorite survivor, Cardani and least favorite survivor, Lonili re-enact the entire affair. Magnificently so, and Cardani walks even bolder than before with her Last Man Standing fighting art. Apparently her earlier experience with shadow puppets paid off.
Seven endeavors.
1: To go along with the hunt re-enactment festivities, settlement finally innovates Cooking.
2: Ouglu learns Extra Sense.
3: Flopura, Stapura, Murrano led by Ouglu gather in the War Room to make a plan for the upcoming hunt.
4-6: Cardani enters Barber Surgeon to relieve her obsession with vermins. All three times fail, except that the last one gives intracranial hemorrhage. Enerwarbabolacty receives an additional letter to her name, and re-roll result cures Cardani of her ailment.
7 Enewarbabolactyl
Lantern Year 17 hunt & showdown - Dung Beetle Knight level 1
Flopura, Ouglu, Cardani and Stapura start to hunt a level 1 Dung Beetle Knight, for the first time ever.
Ouglu meets a culinarist bee, which is the second time during this campaign. Now it will come and eat a survivor with Doomed Path at the end of next settlement phase.
Stapura encounters a bug man, but panics on sight. The bug man panics too, and Flopura finds its abandoned resin dung ball and investigates its inner workings.
Ouglu puts on a shadow puppet play during sonorous rest, which is a nice little adventurous play about heroes. However, this has a profound effect on Cardani.
She Cardani plucks out her eye in a moment of painful understanding. His courageous inner vision tells her to meet her fate on the fields of Sweet Battle.
Then Cardani is an opportunist and continues to hunt the stronger dung beetle knight. Showdown is ready to start.
Showdown itself, well, I overestimated the challenge. But other than that, Dung Beetle Knight seems like a monster that requires really careful movement or you take a metric ton of damage. A showdown lasting longer than two rounds sounds... scary. So many moments where things can go south, not to mention the difficulty of getting through Century Carapace.
In the aftermath Stapura received Age milestone and gained Infinite Lives. This can be a game-changer. As a result, both Flopura and Cardani had the courage to go spelunking.
Lantern Year 18 - Phantom
Apparently, phantom pays a visit each time I fail to have a proper challenge. So, I guess it's level 3 antelope next to get some much needed bones.
Eight endeavors.
1: Settlement innovates Saga.
2: To make use of the Saga, settlement needs new survivors to hear the tales! Matchmaker from Stapuran has Danarias and Ardanet to form a new family Sagasu. This fuses the lineages of Zamarotte and Masvar together. Danarda gains permanent accuracy while Anetarias gains Blotted Out.
3: Nightmare Training fails on Cardani
4: Nightmare Training makes Stapuran a club master!
5: Some leather curing to make Leather resource to develop Beacon Shield.
6: Scrap Smelting to gain 1x iron.
7: Nightmare Training teaches Ouglu weapon proficiency.
8: Shrine Ritual is a success.
Then, a culinarist bee appears and eats Nasalne, sharing the stew with Cardani, Random meal is Venison Oco Busco, and the old, ageless cannibal couldn't resist the old urge and tastes Nasalne for +1 permanent evasion.
Lantern Year 18 hunt & Showdown - Screaming Antelope level 3
Ouglu, Cardani, Stapuran and Anetarias begin the hunt for the Screaming Antelope.
Vomit Pile yields nothing when Anterias investigates it, and Lava Flows give are easy as a breeze to jump through. Ouglu finds some Dark Water from a puddle.
Lava Flows set a theme for this hunt, since Wildfire burned down both Mineral and Herb gathering, and removed one antelope hunt event card. Despite the bright, searing light survivors have stumbled upon during this hunt multiple times, Overwhelming Darkness sets inside the survivors' hearts. Cardani and Stapuran lose one point of courage from pleas of help that go unheard.
After Overwhelming darkness the path ahead seems endless. During Endless Walk, Stapuran thought he saw babies in between the cracks in the earth, but was gravely mistaken. Then among the arid landscape, survivors come across a dried up Salt Lake, which forces Cardani and Stapuran to lose a good chunk of their survival. Sonorous rest patches this up somewhat, but it doesn't help much when just as showdown is starting - they encounter the Salt Lake again! Despite all the randomizing I do, the result was a duplicate event from the pool of 168. Perhaps the survivors realized that thirsty antelope would soon take a turn for the nearest body of water.
This was the first hunt where the homebrew hunt event played a bigger role than the d100 hunt events, which I take as a good sign.
But the showdown begins!
... and what a flawless accomplishment it was! Game lasted around six rounds, and the Screaming Antelope didn't actually attack survivors even once. Sure it dealt damage with Diabolical, but I'm rather proud of how well I navigated through the showdown. Of course Antelope did what it could to help me... The AI card Bolt is exorbitant card to mitigate Diabolical. Cardani slays the beast.
It was a good thing, too, that survivors managed without getting attacked. The monster had four speed tokens in total. I think I gained far more resources from the level 2 fight, but I'm fine with not losing anybody.
Lantern Year 19 - Cracks in the Ground
One of the more... questionable settlement event doesn't ruin it for me this time. Without re-rolls the settlement gains Founding Stone, which will certainly come in handy. Secret Meeting started, and Ougrano met the Old Master and exchanged secrets. Another meeting is scheduled to Lantern Year 25, so, yeah. Wonder who the Old Master actually is. Certainly looks like Watcher awakened for a bit and tried to communicate.
Eight endeavors.
1: Settlement innovates Pictograph.
2: Cardani uses Nightmare Training to become Axe Master.
3: Cardani cooks Venison Oco Busco... apparently she has acquired a taste for it. Disappointed to find only beast inside, she gained +1 permanent evasion.
4: Anterias learns Extra Sense from statue.
5: Ouglu drums some survival for himself...
6: ... and uses Nightmare Training to train for some bow proficiency.
7: Stapuran's matchmaker has twins, Danet and Anarda Sagasu.
8: Shrine ritual is success.
Additionally, one Love Juice from storage becomes another pair of twins by Zamarias and Danalne.
Lantern Year 19 showdown - Slenderman level 3.
Ougrano, Murlu, Flowerista and Lonili are caught by the level 3 Slenderman. Yeah. A craven thing to do - to put four weak survivors with no chances to win against a tough nemesis. But with my limited experience against Slenderman, it just looks too tough for now. I'm leaving that fight to lantern year 23. I was mostly scared of that card Hounds, which kills any survivor who reaches insanity 15 - which I believe can happen, thanks to those hit locations that give +3. I need a little better damage dealers apart from Cardani to even the distribution of insanity.
Ougrano escapes with natural 10, while Murlu breaks her arm. Both of these survivors were present during LY 9 Slenderman encounter, so they had an idea what to expect. Or, they didn't. No-one remembers! Lonili becomes escapes by becoming delicious, and Flowerista is ensnared. She escapes easily, but is then mauled by her own insanity, breaking bone. She then successfully escapes with broken hand and broken leg. I double and triple checked, and consensus seems to be that survivors that ran away are returning survivors. I feel bad to gain these endeavors...
Lantern Year 20 - Nickname
So, the escapees receive nicknames for their cowardly flight. Lonili, Foolish Coward of the Lantern, has already once played the Slenderman in hunt re-enactment. Flowerista, Wise Fool of the Antelope received a rather cruel nickname considering her leg and arm were broken, and with gaping chest wound. Ougrano and Murlu were both Wise Savior of the Antelopes, perhaps because they had faced Slenderman before and made wise choice in leaving the scene.
Then settlement has seven unjust endeavors.
1: Settlement innovates Settlement Watch.
2: Dark Water Research is upgraded to level 2.
3: Love Juice is made with Pottery.
4: Light Forging to make Gloom Cream. Gloom Cream can have you lose hunt xp at the cost of understanding, which may soon come in handy with Stapuran.
5: Settlement builds Wet Resin Crafter.
6: War Room plan to hunt a level 2 Dung Beetle Knight is made.
7: Shrine ritual is a success.
Whenever next games happen, Ouglu, Cardani, Stapuran and Anetarias shall hunt for a level 2 Dung Beetle Knight.

- Braved the Storm in the very first lantern year, but was blinded as a result. Later on her new body, this eye has healed.
- Was "blessed" by the Cleaner Birds during hunt for Gorm. Then she encountered Flesh Monolith, and during Unnatural Hunger she was one of the survivors who ate Mesul.

- After coming back from the dead she has shown far less tendencies to feast on human flesh.

Qyillus, one of the original four from both Deluge and Retreat

- Has taught the secrets of language twice to different settlements an spoke some reason to the settlement during Endless Screams.

- Is the first father of the settlement, and has four children - Nengar, Rastgar, Lostus and Suragar with two different mothers, one of whom is dead and another has been banished from the settlement. No wonder he's apathetic.

*
Surastus, a banished survivor who tinkered with lanterns and got disfigured. Before departing, suppose she was the "old crone" that offered Sleeping Virus Flower for Cardani. She's revisited her settlement, and caused Cardani to murder Nengar. Scarred Kalnetan's eyes.
