Lake Monster

This is a Lake exploration event.

Inspect

You see a perfectly peaceful lake. You doze off for a few seconds when you see a large dark shape in the water... There's no mistaking it... There's... SOMETHING under the water. Something very, very huge and menacing.

Craft A Harpoon [sic]

(Requires at least 1 Iron, 1 Rope, 1 Wood)

You feel like Thor against the giant sea snake Jormungand! You craft a sturdy harpoon and look at the beast filled with the excitement of the hunt.

-1 Iron, -1 Rope, -1 Wood

Hunt the Beast (Requires crafted harpoon) (Hunting, Strength, Constitution)

You wait on the shore of the lake for the perfect time. You were about to give up when you see the monster's back right in front of you! Quick!

Throw Harpoon (Hunting)

Failure: You missed the beast... Are you sure you are made for hunting? You'll have to wait again... Pfff... + Depression, need to craft a new harpoon

Success: You send your harpoon flying with all your rage! And it hits! You take a firm grip on the rope and get pulled by the shear force of the monster! You're starting to wonder if it was a good idea... The monster dragged you away at full speed!

Let Go

You let go of the rope before getting hurt! The good news is that you can swim back to the shore unscathed. The bad news is that you lost your harpoon...

Hold Tight (Strength)

Failure: The rope is burning your hands! You can't hold it anymore! + Injury

You let go of the rope before getting hurt! The good news is that you can swim back to the shore unscathed. The bad news is that you lost your harpoon...

Success: The pain is strong, but you won't let go of your grip on the rope! The monster suddenly dives deep!

Hold Your Breath (Constitution)

Failure: ?

Success: Your lungs are crying for help, but you manage to hold your breath long enough! The monster comes back to the surface. For a moment, everything is still. You are floating on the water, the monster nowhere to be seen. And suddenly, you see a giant shadow around you... The monster is under you! It opens its large mouth and swallows you whole! You're now stuck in the belly of the beast... You feel its stomach acid slowly burning your flesh... The situation is dire...

Cut an exit (Strength)

Success: You take a knife and stab the stomach of the beast with fury! After a few desperate strikes, you manage to carve an exit! The monster screams in pain! It slowly drifts toward the shore... You crawl out of its stomach, wasted, but happy to have hunted such a beast...+ Injury, + Fatigue, - Depression
