Webbed Bodies



This is a Forest exploration event. It offers the chance to get Bones and  Pelts, as well as  Roasted Meat (at the cost of  Fabric and  Wood). It may also reward the player with Fabric and  Rope, or potentially some  Rotten Food. When retrieving these resources, the participating survivor risks incurring Depression,  Fatigue,  Injuries and  Sickness, and may risk gaining the negative traits  Arachnophobia or  Pyromaniac permanently.
