Encounters

The six Encounters — Tusk, Plant, Healer, Missionary, Wildlife and Village — with the effect of the previous Encounter, the second Event and your Resources.

Deal with the Encounter in your slot after your second Event and any Finding. Check the Encounter Chart: the Encounter you left behind (under your Arrow) can change the one you face, and so can your second Event if it was an Incident you didn’t ignore. An empty slot behind you changes nothing. Everything stacks. Pictures: Cards & Components.

Tusk

Tusks, horn and skins that people value. Roll a d10 and gain that many Gifts.

Plant

Recover Sanity: roll a d6; higher than your Sanity gains 1 Sanity (never above 5). +1 if your Health is higher than your Sanity, −1 if lower.

If…	Then
The previous Encounter was a Plant	Poisoned: lose 1 Health instead, no roll
The previous Encounter was a Healer	Guided: +1 Sanity without rolling
You have a Diary	+1
Your second Event was a Taboo	Plants grow plentifully in the deserted area: +1

Healer

Recover Health: roll a d6; higher than your Health gains 1 Health (never above 5). +1 if your Sanity is higher than your Health, −1 if lower.

If…	Then
The previous Encounter was a Healer	A jealous rival’s shady drugs: lose 1 Sanity instead, no roll
The previous Encounter was a Plant	He knows his herbs: +1 Health without rolling
The previous Encounter was a Missionary	He has converted and treats no one: no roll
You have a Bible	+1
Your second Event was Malaria	He knows this disease: +1

Missionary

He may lend you one of his followers. Choose Askari or Porter and roll a d10: higher than your current number of that kind and you gain one (never above 8 Askaris or 10 Porters), and Discontent drops by 1 (never below 1).

If…	Then
The previous Encounter was a Missionary	They argue theology and ignore you: no roll
The previous Encounter was a Plant	He isn’t quite present and ignores you: no roll
The previous Encounter was a Village	Many followers: you may try twice
Not ignored, and you spend a Bible	Every recruit attempt succeeds without rolling
Not ignored, and your second Event was Thirst	You may skip recruiting: he turns water into 10 Food

Wildlife

A hunt. Roll a Success-roll (d10) and a Food-roll (d6).

• Success-roll equal to or below your Askaris: gain 2 Gifts and double the Food-roll in Food.
• Higher: gain 1 Gift and the Food-roll in Food. A modified 9 also kills a Porter; a 10 kills an Askari instead (the beast gets into camp).

If…	Then
The previous Encounter was Wildlife	Game everywhere: the Success-roll succeeds automatically
The previous Encounter was a Village	Little game left: Food-roll −3 (before doubling)
The previous Encounter was a Tusk	Big beasts: Food-roll +3 (before doubling)
You have a Rifle	Food-roll +1 (before doubling)
You have a Telescope	Success-roll −1
Your Ammo Stock is lower / higher than your Askaris	Success-roll +1 / −1
The Success-roll doubles your Food	Make an Ammo-roll
Your second Event was a Storm	You may instead skip both rolls and draw a random Resource (not Canoes or Guide)

Village

Roll a Like-roll (d6) and a Respect-roll (d10). They like you on a modified 2 or less; they respect you on a result equal to or below your Askaris.

Modifier	Roll
Slaver region (people’s name printed in red)	Like +1
You offer 2 Gifts before rolling (generosity)	Like −1
Your Health is 3 / 2 / 1	Like −1 / −2 / −3 (they pity you)
Your Sanity is 3 / 2 / 1	Respect −1 / −2 / −3 (they don’t want to cross a madman)
You spend a Cannabis	Like succeeds without rolling
You have a Revolver	Respect −1
Your second Event was a Warband you chased away	Respect succeeds; Like −1

Trade: pay exactly 5 Gifts for Canoes or a Guide (if the pool has one), or 10 Food.
