Bearing Fruit - Kingdom Death Lonely Tree
/
Kingdom Death – I have to give credit to the designers of Kingdom Death: Monster every expansion manages to surprise me. The Lonely Tree is a pretty amazing expansion. The kit consists of the tree, the lonely lady and six fruit. From what I can tell the fruit are removable as part of the encounter, I’m guessing the survivors need to harvest the fruit during the encounter. The description for the tree expansion is quite interesting:
If you can see the Lonely Tree for what it really is, it's probably too late. This carnivorous organism hypnotizes anything that comes near, luring prey with hallucinations of their innermost desires. Once they draw near, the hallucinations turn to ceaseless dreams, while the roots consume the victim in their sleep.
With each meal, a grotesque bulge, appears on the Lonely Tree's branches which slowly swells and takes on certain qualities of the devoured as they are digested. This "fruit" of the Lonely Tree is its true prize, as eating these conglomerations of phytohormones and human gristle can have beneficial (albeit bizarre) side effects. However, make sure to handle them gently while they are close to the tree, as the chemical volatility of the unripened morsels doubles as the Lonely Tree's primary form of self-defense!
