The Ravages Of Fate

97
You see the view in front of you suddenly tilt, and feel something hit your side. Things are growing dim as you slowly realise that you have fallen over. You try to move, but sharp pain makes you give up at once. The Ravager is stalking towards you, but you aren't afraid. You know you are escaping, and once your eyes close you hear only silence.
THE END

just sleep

Around ref 45 can get Energy to 0 and still keep subtracting from it (though if that happens, you'll surely fall not long after anyway.)

Gouge is protected by his breastplate from getting crushed, yet your own breastplate does not protect your ribs at all when he is hurled at you? Does the breastplate actually make it more likely you get hit? Or is it simply irrelevant vs. the troll, much like the shield and helmet appear to be? After a few runs, including four victories, it felt like only the lantern actually made any real difference, and the other item could be literally anything?

Also still not sure about the box's relevance. My only guess is that it makes you more likely to get attacked first, but that could just be how the dice rolled behind the scenes that time.

I was going to say that it felt like you could keep "hanging back for now" to regenerate your energy with no seemingly no ill consequence - neither the risk of one of the companions getting killed, nor the risk of The Ravager regenerating a bit more. Then I tried it again, and noticed that it could lead to The Ravager just attacking you first, and potentially instakilling you.
