Eleven and counting

 

Lantern Year 17 hunt & showdown: Frogdog level 2

Phobaro, Vanqusha, Leihovia and Rofiheen hunt the Frogdog.

Phobaro falls in love with a rock. Settlement does innovate drums, so there's that. Bouncing Leaves take a re-roll from Leihovia, as she didn't want that broken arm. One of the better outcomes during hunt was to ambush the Frogdog with dead monster's stench.

Two survivors lost their survival at Overwhelming Darkness, and one halved it. That's just... great.

At least Leihovia descended to Worm Tunnels, only to become Enfeebled. She got +1 strength token from eating a bony protrusion.

My hopes weren't high for the showdown.

And early on it did look like the dice have just grown to hate me. Those 3+ wound rolls failed half of the time. Only 2+ was performing any good.

Frog's direct attacks were a non-issue, even when they came out of traps. Throughout the entire showdown only one attack carried through to armor points after dodges and whatnot? 

... and yet it was intense and distressing. Early on Indigestion came up, so that sphincter just wouldn't shut up! It was a hair's breath away that survivors would have been farted into oblivion. When showdown ended, Leihovia (who suffered intestinal prolapse... from a fart... I don't want to know how) had four stink tokens, and only one location that would be able to take the stink. Leather Armor set had reduced to one, two or no points remaining in locations with two stink. They were fine. But Gorm set guy with leather shield had multiple heavy levels and four stink, archer had only one armor point, light injury levels and two stink tokens.

I don't think I could have done it if tactic had not been Attack Pattern. However... Leihovia finally got the Fist & Tooth mastery. Finally!

And one of the lesser survivors even got Otherworldly Luck

Lantern Year 18: Dark Dentist

1: Settlement innovates INNER LANTERN FINALLY.
2: Phobaro scavenges a scrap
3-4: Phobaro attempts face painting for intimacy, succeeding once.
5: Phobaro paints even more faces, this time for battle.

Phobaro and Vanqusha drank a love juice and did a new kid, Vanbaro, as a result.

Settlement develops Grappleclaw, Frogdog head and vest and Lure Lantern.

Lantern Year 18 hunt & showdown: Dragon King level 1

Since Goliheen has sworn to not hunt anyone else, I do a quick Dragon King. He is accompanied by Lostit, Defeadred and Vanqusha.

And what a hunt it was! 

Lostit stumbled upon doppel den, and only Goliheen did not get transformed into an evil doppelganger. So there was now murder on the timeline.

Titans in the dark gave evil Defeadred a point of movement... not that it mattered much, because right after Lostit and Defeadred leaped into lava river. I assume purposefully.

Vanqusha and Goliheen were left alone to fight the Dragon King. Last hunt card was a crypt, which the survivors defiled just out of spite.

To their defense, hunters did score three wounds and even impressed Lordly Roar out of the deck... right before dealing the killing blow to last survivor.

I took an additional casualty to get a million endeavors from being defeated.

Lantern Year 19 - Season of the Spiderling

HOO BOY. Five deaths from showdown, and now four more from settlement event. And then there is murder on the timeline... And murdered got exiled. Eleven deaths in one go! That just might be the record.

So, settlement got seventeen endeavors.

That gave settlement four more survivors, Abando, Bailaut, Tappi-O and Hävi-ö. One endeavor went into battle paint. Settlement has now a healthy population of eight. Or that at least would have been, had the year been normal. 

Instead, I noticed in time that Slenderman ambushed my four person settlement right away.

Survivors managed two wounds in to the monster before everything went dark.

So, here's the showdowns of this rather long-running campaign:
