Scavenged after defeat
One or two eligible worn pieces with the highest listed item values are left at the death site. The number is limited by how many eligible pieces you wear.
| Mode | Wayfarer Adventure defeat. The Wilds, Permadeath, Hardcore and a fall in a trial use other defeat rules. |
|---|---|
| Rescue selection | A reaching rescuer has a final rescue score at least minus 49 and below minus 19. A hostile creature that reaches you scavenges instead of imprisoning you. Co-op also changes would-be capture into scavenging. These are final scores after reputation and other rescue modifiers. |
| Base gold share | 60% before the recent-defeat multiplier and any repeat surcharge. The final loss is capped at 90%. |
| Gold on a fresh first defeat | 30% of the gold counted for the defeat, rounded down to whole gold after applying this percentage. Waystone distance does not increase the gold percentage. |
| Base sickness duration | 60 world turns before the recent-defeat multiplier, repeat surcharge and waystone-distance multiplier. |
| Sickness on a fresh first defeat | 30 turns beside the nearest attuned waystone found by the defeat search, up to 45 turns at 200 steps away or when none is found. These are horizontal and vertical steps in total. |
| Sickness strength | Starts at up to 2 less damage and 2 less armour in affected combat calculations. These penalties fade in whole steps. Damage stays at least 1 and armour at least 0. Sickness also reduces vision and speeds mortal hunger and thirst loss. |
| Worn equipment | One or two eligible worn pieces with the highest listed item values are left at the death site. The number is limited by how many eligible pieces you wear. |
| Protected worn pieces | Cursed pieces are excluded. Rare and better pieces are excluded while the recent-defeat counter is below 5. Backpack Protect and Retain flags do not add protection to this worn-equipment selection. |
| Where you wake | On ordinary land, you can wake at the death site. Dungeon deaths return to the entrance. At sea, use the nearest attuned waystone found by the defeat search, an interior return point or home. The landing search can move a non-prison wake to dry ground. |
| Health on waking | 30% of base maximum health, rounded down, with at least 1 health. Hunger and Thirst are filled. This does not add equipment bonuses to the health calculation. |
| Lost boats | Your current boat is lost if you are in it when defeated at sea. A spare boat in your backpack is outside this specific hull-loss check. |
| Recovering dropped gear | Equipment left at a death site waits without a time limit. A dungeon pile is at its overworld entrance, with the floor recorded as a reminder. Confiscated gear goes to the prison chest instead. |
| Co-op | Each present player receives their own gold, equipment and waking result. Capture becomes scavenging. The party shares the primary player’s resurrection sickness. |
When recovery uses a waystone
The defeat search chooses an attuned location by distance to its recorded map position. When recovery uses that waystone, the landing search starts at the actual stone, or the settlement square if its stone position is unknown. Solid stones use clear neighbouring ground when available.
