Mariah gets Avery Tex’s side of his story. Scene 7 Scene 8 Scene 9 Player (!) Notes I learned the term Umwelt from the book An Immense World by Ed Yong .

A newcomer unexpectedly lends a hand stabilizing Exocraft I.

Scene 19 GM Notes Many of the minions here wield “hatchets and cleavers.” This comes from one of our favorite songs about peasant revolts, “John the Red Nose” (also known as “Cutty Wren”).
