#story_event #Gorm The survivors lay a trap to discover the elusive final resting place of the ancient **Gorm**. Nominate a survivor to become the Ancient Gorm's **Bait** and be removed from the Hunt. During the **Hunt Phase**, when the Ancient Gorm's Bait would be the hunt event revealer, they are **Digested** instead. Move the survivors along the Hunt Board as normal. At the start of the showdown, each **non-bait** survivor makes a **Timid Entrance** and the Ancient Gorm's **Bait** is placed, **knocked down**, adjacent to the monster. ### Digested The survivor runs wildly into the path of the lumbering ancient Gorm, wriggling its body like an ecstatic worm. The sinewy arms of the Gorm's sagging maw snatch them up. The rest of the survivors follow the bait's lantern light that shows through the ancient Gorm's distended, papery gut. | 1d10 | Result | | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | Swimming in the caustic soup of the Gorm's gut, your armor levels at a random hit location are reduced to 0 and you gain 1 bleeding Token.<br> | | 2 - 3 | The bubbling acids of the Gorm's gut destroy your gear.
