|-----------|-----------------|-----------------------------------------|
| **White** | Regular         | Nothing happens                        |

| **Orange**| Chaos Wheel     | On resolve, the wheel spins: "skip Weekly Challenge reward," "+1 step," "-1 step," "auto-win/auto-lose round 1," etc. |
| **Red**   | Stop Cell       | The player skips the next Weekly Challenge **and** both upcoming duels |
| **Green** | Luck Wheel      | Same as orange, but only positive events in the sector |
| **Gray**  | Lore Cell "Vault" | After a duel: the player can take/remove a **crown** (§ 5) and, if this is the first visited vault and no one else has been here yet, receives **proto-mutant remains** |

## 2. Movement

1. **Move length** is determined _after_ each duel by rolling **d3** for both players.
2. After getting the result (1–3), the player moves forward. Remaining steps can be _voluntarily_ forfeited to end the turn on any cell.
3. You can skip "Duel's day" and get technical defeat instead (d3 roll)

## 3. Duels

- Held on **weekends**.
- Players within **closest** distance are randomly paired. If the number of players is odd, the lone player gets `+2` steps and rests.
- The battle format is determined by the cell color (see § 1).
- From round 2 of each battle, a random **modifier** is added.
- Winner rolls d5 instead of d3

## 4. Bonus Dice

- **Weekly Challenge** and **Daily/Weekly** rewards: Top-10 in **Daily/Weekly** gives the player **bonus-d3** roll.

|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Haste**     | `+1` to all rolls, but **auto-defeat** in round 1 of each duel           |
| **Luck**      | On defeat — mandatory `+1` step w/o roll; on victory — get random "green" bonus  |
| **Hatred**    | All cells for the player are considered orange, except yellow              |
| **Love**      | Effects of orange cells are **doubled**                                    |
| **Blood**     | `+1` to all rolls; **does not** receive bonus-d3 from Weekly/Daily         |

- On the first visit to a vault, the player draws **2 random** crowns and keeps one.
- On any gray cell, the crown can be **changed** or **removed**.

---

## 6. Proto-Mutant Remains

- Entering any vault gives the player **remains** of the proto-mutant.
- If the player is the leader, they have -1 to their non-weekly-bonus rolls when possessing **remains**.
- Defeating the owner of remains allows the player to take them, but the defeated player loses their remains.
- At the end of the campaign, players with the **highest number** of remains are rewarded.
