Rules q

What is the priority of instructions? Is mob going before target only Oathsworn if they are next to them

Like w the chain hook card… it’s totally not clear to me

And also if there are two berserkers pulling one character

What happens?

If they are adjacent to an Oathsworn then the Oathsworn is the target. If not, Prey On the Weak kicks in. Mob rules apply to attacks

You'll activate them using the rule of NxNW and decide which one goes first.

so in a nutshell, one will pull it out of the range of the otherone, correct?

If I understood your description properly, I believe so.

and the question is still - does targeting on the card explicitly referring to oathsworn overrule the prey on the weak rule? And I assume if they cannot reach their target they will revert to the closest enemy?

Prey On the Weak gets overruled if they are adjacent to an Oathsworn. If they stop being adjacent to an Oathsworn then Prey On the Weak is activated once more.

so even if the stage card says explicitly: target an oathsworn

If it specifically says to target an Oathsworn then you'll do that rather then a civilian

ok, so we did that correct

the otherthing that I am confused about is the story part... we had the one with the exploration... and no idea how you get the extra unique weapon

I guess you can't? or need to get to a specific spot?

The story should only ever earn you 1 potential additional extra unique loot

yes, but the 4a side doesn't have any symbol for it on the time track

Yup, sometimes the loot isn't bound the to time track

ok

I just had the entire pile of refugees starve to death on our 3rd time to eat food. Did I do something wrong?

I had all 12 survive the worm fight, so that made 8 refugee tokens that came with 16 rations, I also had 2 location token drag-alongs (civilians) that got rescued as the last city got stomped into oblivion, they didn't bring rations, but I think we only got a handful of rations as we escaped Bastone.

The first time we had to eat, everybody got fed.

That used 10 rations (1 person got ate by the deepwood already)

The 2nd time we had 8 refugees, but only 7 rations, so the Oathsworn went without and 1 refugee staved.

That seems roughly accurate. I think, in our case… we fed everyone the first time, starved half the second time in preparation for a third, and started the fight before the third round. It seems like a system which encourages you to triage people early if you know how far you need to go, but if you don’t it can fall apart quick.

Which might be the point, because new players won’t know where they’re going on a first playthrough and that second food round is very scary.

Yeah, it was pretty intense. I was really hoping to find food somewhere, or find our way out soon, but we found a whopping 1 ration during the story. Crap, the deepwood is evil. Still haven't hit the Chap 4 fight, but I figured I'd check, because that was way more brutal than I expected.

In any case, it's good to know that I was at least, very likely playing correctly.

The game does a great job of building up how scary the deepwood is. This is only the beginning my brother. Just wait… 🙂
