To Fell a Tree

Lantern Year 15 special showdown - Lonely Tree level 2

 Moldonial, Tyypi, Noitatsaved and Fatalia convinced apathetic, twice contractured and dismembered Twix to eat a delicious fruit they had found. Much to everyone's surprise the treat did cheer up Twix! Kind of, because he died.

 This showdown revealed how, how do they say - dope? Synchronized Strike is when fully built with Forbidden Dance and Heart Flute. Fatalia would have been tossed around the board, as well as given 2 bleed tokens for multiple people if the reactions triggers had not been changed to failures. 

People were still drawn over the board, though, but as far as reactions and AI cards go, this was more preferable than getting damage 6 explosions in the face.

When Moldonial was thrown to the corner on turn 1, it was slightly concerning - it wouldn't be until two rounds had passed when he'd be able to deliver those bites and punches to the tree. Tyypi with her Vespertine bow and +1 speed and +1 accuracy was quite adept in missing shots and rolling four or below when wounding. But her main purpose was to check the hit locations with Cat Eye Circlet anyway.

Noitatsaved was also missing all her Rib Blade attacks. So an unlikely hero appears. Fatalia with one missing eye actually scores most wounds to the monster with Counter-Weighted Axe. But Tyypi and Moldonial want to steal their share of glory, when Moldonial finally arrives at the scene and delivers three wounds, leaving the tree with one AI card remaining. Tyypi activates, walks next to the tree and uses Heroic fighting art with Bone Axe, which was a proper thing to do. 

Fatalia did six wounds, Tyypi four, Moldonial three and the tree itself had two moods in play. 

Settlement receives five resources from the fruits, as well as Blistering Plasma Fruit. 

Lantern Year 15 hunt & showdown - Screaming Antelope level 2

Noitatsaved, Tyypi, Fatalia and Twyllaria are the nominated hunters. During hunt Twyllaria continuously loses all her survival. Hunt isn't very exciting as most results just boil down to "and then nothing happened", except that Twyllaria also finds Oda from path of brave during overwhelming darkness.

Showdown started horrendously. After first Vespertine Bow attack from Tyypi, all survivors were knocked down. Now and then Antelope makes for some scary traps. Next few rounds Antelope spends trampling and biting Fatalia, but fortunately she survives with only collapsed lung and being disemboweled.

Fight took far longer than it was supposed to - and this was all because of Infested trait that came up early. The amount of missing-to-wound-by-one was staggering. Also three or four traps wasn't much for help either.

Twyllaria was our dedicated tank, so it was her who wasn't attacked even once, or even trampled over even just one time.

But once survivors got their stuff together and quit the habit of failing hard at everything, the showdown was a pushover.

Lantern Year 16: Weird Dream

We had Hands of Heat on timeline, and since we received 17 resources and had equal amount in storage, we pretty much just got to shuffle around our resources. At least Weird Dream gave a few endeavors for us.

Settlement develops the final missing piece from Screaming armor and Leather Shield.

1: Settlement innovated Bloodletting
2: Love Juice and Augury gives settlement two new babies, Maxaria and Sibmux.
3-4: Failed Forbidden Dances for Sibyllaria and Oda
5-6: Synchronized Strike for Maxaria and Twyllaria
7: Leather for shield crafting.

Next we have Manhunter level 3 coming up.
