## The crane

You arrive at a place with a mechanical crane that communicates with somewhere down the mountain. This appears to be the way the nearby bazaar and cultists' resupply. The crane is fully loaded and there is a supply ready to go up. The problem is that to activate the crane, you have to enter a code using a keypad.

Lifting the cable manually would require a lot of force...

* [Leave] Go away, you don't have time to enter random codes
* [Use] Pull the cable with all your might (Group 7 or higher)
	+ [Fail] You do not have enough strength to lift it. Before taking more risks and injuring yourself, you let go of the cable and leave.
* [Heiner] "Beep... I can hack it".
	+ Heiner pulls a cable out of its side and connects to the crane. Shortly after, the crane is activated and lifts the shipment. You open it and find some gold and items.
	You get:  240  168
	Item draw
* [Wilbur] "Let me examine the keypad"
	+ Wilbur carefully examines the keypad and deduces that the most worn numbers are the ones that have been used the most. On hist first attempt, he types 4 5 6... and eureka! The crane activates and lifts the shipment. You open it and find some gold and items.
	You get:  240,  146, and an Item Draw.
* Hidden options (2) (Maybe Grukli's 457 from the previous Stone Table event? Sphinx confirms it's the right option)

## **The obsidian shipment** (Rare event)

Sample seed: 954TZ9M

You arrive at a place with a mechanical crane and see that there is a group of cultists unloading a shipment of supplies and common items. When they finish, the cultists begin loading the crane with magic shards and obsidian ingots. You assume that this is how the cultists in this area survive, trading supplies for obsidian mined from the volcano.

They haven't finished loading the crane yet, it might be a good time to ambush them and take all the loot.

* [Leave] Ignore them and move on now that they are distracted
* [Ambush] Hide and attack them by surprise (Group 4 or lower)
	+ Critical success: You find the perfect place to hide, and when you attack they won't see you coming. It will be a perfect ambush. When you finish the fight, you'll cellect the magic shards, some supplies and you'll also take a few of those obsidian ingots, as they seem to be quite valuable for forging items.
	You get  300  140  3
	Obsidian ingots (for Orby)
	+ Fail: You try to hide, but a little fiend sees you and raises the alarm. You have no choice but to go out in the open and defend yourselves. When you finish the fight, you will collect the magic shards, some supplies and you'll also take a few of those obsidian ingots, as they seem to be quite valuable for forging items.
	You get  300  3
	Obsidian ingots (for Orby)
	+ Critical failure: You try to hide. But then a pyromancer sees you, and instead of raising the alarm he approaches the crane and sends the obsidian charge down. Suddenly, he launches a fireball towards your position that hits you. At the end of the fight, if you survive, you will take the supplies and shards with you, but you have lost the obsidian cargo.
	You get  300  3
	Severe Burn
* [Grukli] "Argh! I'll push one over the mountain!" (Melee attack card)
	+ Fail: Grukli charges at a cultist who was on the edge of the mountain, but the cultist sees him and dodges. It is Grukli who almost fell off the mountain, and although it is not usual for him, he really freaks out for a moment. The cultists prepare to attack him, and you join him to start the fight.
	When you finish the fight, you'll collect the magic shards, some supplies and you'll also take a few of those obsidian ingots, as they seem to be quite valuable for forging items.
	You get  300  3
	Grukli recieves "Frightened"
* [Nezglekt] "I will mind control them..." (Spell card)
	+ Fail: Nezglekt focuses on a Pyromancer, but it wasn't the best target and he gets rid of the mind control, realizes what Nezglekt was trying to do and throws a fireball that hits him. The fight begins.
	When you finish the fight, you'll collect the magic shards, some supplies and you'll also take a few of those obsidian ingots, as they seem to be quite valuable for forging items.
	 You get  300  3
	Nezglekt receives "Severe Burn"
