Silk Surgery is a story event in the Spidicules Expansion rule book.
Event Text[]
Strange possibilities are proffered to those bold enough to gamble with their own flesh.
Nominate a survivor to be the patient and Operate! If any survivor has the Silk Surgeon secret fighting art, you may choose the 10 result without rolling.
Operate![]
roll 1d10
| 1d10 | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 - 2 | The patient has a horrible reaction to the surgery! They suffer the dismembered arm severe injury and must skip the next hunt. |
| 3 - 4 | The patient is wrapped in living Silk. Archive all Silk resources in the settlement. For each resource lost, the survivor gains a -1 Evasion token and adds 1 armour to all hit locations if they depart this year. |
| 5 - 6 | Neurotoxic venom treatment. The patient gains the Unconscious Fighter fighting art and a random disorder. |
| 7 - 9 | Silk stitches are threaded in just the right place. You may spend 1 Silk resource to remove a permanent injury from the survivor. |
| 10 | Inspiration strikes, and the surgeon's fingers suddenly appear to have a mind of their own! The nominated survivor rolls on Radical Procedure.
|
If you rolled 10: If any survivor in the settlement has the Silk Surgeon secret fighting art, that survivor collects a finger as payment and increases their Silk Surgeon level by 1. The nominated survivor rolls on the Radical Procedure.
Radical Procedure[]
Onlookers watch in awe as needles thread silk across the survivor like an artist's brush on a canvas. The nominated survivor gains a random disorder and rolls a hit location dice. If the settlement has a Silk Surgeon, instead roll dice equal to the level of their secret fighting art and choose one.
