KDM Lantern Year 2

     I forgot to mention in my last post that we rolled up 6 survivors at Hearth bringing our grand total to 10 and located the Vibrant Lantern (+1 accuracy).

Anyway on to our first hunt for a level 1 white lion!

Loadout: we loaded our armor, lanterns and bone axe on Lucy aiming to make the most of her +1 strength and penchant for critical wounds. Zachary and Ezra got the default loadout while newcomer Simone picks up our bone darts. The idea is to keep growing Lucy and start fresh with the undamaged Simone. Zachary and Ezra we hope for the best but are more sacrificial should the situation arise.

Hunt:
It was pretty short and sadly uninteresting as Zachary got lost loosing all of his 0 survival and the scent making a short hunt even shorter. We didn't realize it at the time but getting a few light wounds here would be clutch especially one to Zachary's arms

Showdown:
Well the lion made up for his kin right away by immediately running up and inflicting the two woulds to trigger a severe injury on Zachary. A one on the die seals his fate and he's gone. This sets up Lucy to start hacking away at it from the rear. While not at critical wound happy as against the first she manages to get another to the hand and nets another strength. Somehow she manages to avoid triggering the trap creating steady damage though the fight. Simone falls back and starts flinging darts ineffectually scoring one hit over the entire battle to the mane. Ezra however takes a pounding taking a critical and loosing a speed,  jumping up to insane and at the end drug off on her own.

Settlement:
Getting back to the settlement we get the scream and nominate Lucy who manages to gather enough courage to advance and pick up matchmaker and another point of strength! This is huge as she's at 3 strength she's more likely to wound than not even with tooth and claw. As we now have the Catarium we look at the goods decide she's perfect for the white lion set with her natural strength making daggers or katar's devastating. But for now she's getting our competed rawhide armor until we can get her the gear. Hunting the screaming antelope will have to wait until she's set up. Our innovation was drums which we try with both our remaining endeavors and fail pushing Ezra to a terrifying 9 insanity.
