#story_event #dragon_king A secret glimpsed becomes an obsession. A fiery light slices through the sky. Nominate a survivor. They are the only witness. The witness sets out into the dark, certain that their fate awaits in the place the light landed. They gain the **Destined** disorder. They reach a steaming crater's edge in time to see a pale, slender form emerge from a massive, steam-filled husk. A piteous sigh falls over the surroundings like a heavy pall as the naked form strides away, unscathed and unmoved. The witness dives into the crater, sending glittering embers of paper ash into the air. Breathlessly, they sift through the debris, searing their hands on the still-burning remains. The nominated survivor gains the **Husk of Destiny** rare gear and [[Acid Palms]] ability. ![[Acid Palms]] The witness arrives at the settlement wearing nothing but a milky-green membrane held tight around their body by their burnt-up hands. In their eyes is a boundless look of peaceful resignation. You may now hunt the [[Dragon King]]. Add it to the **Quarries** list on the settlement record sheet.
