MEET WITH DISASTER
When calamity befalls the steading or panic spreads, reduce Fortunes by 1 (min -1).
If Fortunes would drop below -1 for any reason (not just calamity or panic), then the GM picks 1 instead:
- The steading marks diminished from injuries/sickness/doubt (disadvantage to Deploy, Muster, Pull Together)
- The steading marks lacking due to shortages/hoarding/distrust (treat Prosperity as 1 lower)
- The steading marks malcontent from fear/anger/despair (Fortunes reset to +0 each season, not +1; folks need Persuading more often than usual)
- Folks start to leave; reduce Population by 1
