Devourer

"If this breaks free, it may assault you, or consume your follower."

- In-game text

Devourer is an aspect that appears on certain Spirits. When summoning of a Devourer spirit is flawed, there is a chance that they may harm the player or an available follower.

There is an equal chance of a Devourer grabbing a Health card or a Mortal (including Patrons, Followers, Hunters, etc.). At less than Devourer 10, there is a 70% chance that Health will be transformed into An Injury or that a Mortal will be transformed into A Human Corpse; otherwise, Notoriety will be produced. At Devourer 10 and above, there is 100% chance of an injury or a dead Mortal.

An Escaped Summoning Closes on its Victim

 * The victim will know that something is amiss, by now. They will listen to the sounds in the night and try to make preparations. - Mid-level Devourer
 * Closer with each sweep of the clock's hand, like a circling wind, like the river's coil. - High-level Devourer

There is a 50% chance a Devourer spirit will grab a Mortal; this includes Followers, Patrons, Hunters, Prisoners, etc. A spirit of Devourer 5-9 has a 70% chance of killing the Mortal; a Spirit of Devourer 10 or above has a 100% chance of killing the Mortal. A spirit of Devourer 1-4 has a 30% chance of killing the Mortal, but no spirits of such magnitude exist in-game.

If the spirit succeeds, A Human Corpse and Notoriety will be produced, along with an Influence corresponding to the spirit; if the spirit fails, only Notoriety and the Influence will be produced.


 * The first rays of the day's sun will fall on the open eyes of a corpse. There is often a price for an unwise summoning: but it is not always the summoner who pays it. - An Escaped Summoning has Claimed a Victim
 * The victim has survived, after all! but the story of this night will spread like a stain. - An Escaped Summoning has visited Horror upon its Victim

An Escaped Summoning Awaits Its Moment

 * There are so many ways to undo a human body. My skin feels vulnerable as an open door. - Mid-level Devourer
 * Is it toying with me? - High-level Devourer

There is a 50% chance a Devourer spirit will grab a Health card. A spirit of Devourer 5-9 has a 70% chance of transforming the card into An Injury; a Spirit of Devourer 10 or above has a 100% chance of creating An Injury. A spirit of Devourer 1-4 has a 30% chance of creating An Injury, but no spirits of such magnitude exist in-game.

If the spirit succeeds, An Injury and Notoriety will be produced, along with an Influence corresponding to the spirit; if the spirit fails, only Notoriety and the Influence will be produced.


 * I was too much for it! But I couldn't deal with it in silence. People will talk. - An Escaped Summoning Has Not Prevailed Against You
 * I will bear a scar, of the kind that one day might be photographed for a museum. And the neighbours will talk; how they will talk. - An Escaped Summoning has Savaged You
