#hunt_event An enormous, metallic sound rings out form a distance. All survivors are electrified with dread; they suffer 2 brain event damage. The survivors may follow the sound. Otherwise, they panic and retreat in the opposite direction; end this event and move the survivors 2 spaces back on the hunt board. Each survivor gains +1 courage and gingerly approaches the sound's origin. As they travel, they pass the shattered corpses of strange beasts. If any survivor has 3+ understanding, they follow the trail of corpses. Otherwise, harvest 3 random basic resources from the corpses and end this event. Arriving at a massive anvil, the survivors see a giant, one-eyed knight, its charcoal-colored armor reflecting their lantern light. The event revealer rolls 1d10. | 1d10 | Event revealer | | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | The knight stares at the survivors. All survivors with less than 3 courage are struck dead. All other survivors flee in horror. | | 2 - 8 | The knight approaches the survivors. In an instant, it chops off a random survivor's ear; they gain 1 bleeding token. Then, it strikes the anvil, blinding the survivors with a churning wall of sound. When they open their eyes, the knight is gone and the Steel Sword and Steel Shield rare gear rests in its place. The group divides the gear between them. | | 9+ | The knight smashes the object in its hands upon the anvil. When the molten orange object cools, it sets into a massive lion-faced hammer. The knight places it in the hands of the survivor with the highest courage (roll off in case of ties). They gain the **Thunder Maul** rare gear. A current of electricity runs through their body, joining weapon and survivor forever. |
