in “Blackwater Beast” replace

There exists a Blackwater Beast that has the following publicly-tracked variables: Next Movement which contains a date and time (defaulting to the current date and time plus 48 hours), Last Known Location which is either empty or a Cell (defaulting to empty), and Failed Bellows which is a number defaulting to 0. The Blackwater Beast is also known as Beast and the two terms are synonymous.

If the current time is after the Beast’s Next Movement, any Fishing Contestant or the Elder Judge may perform the Moving the Beast action, and it is the only dynastic action which Fishing Contestants may take other than Sight Disturbances.

Remove “Set the Beast’s Next Movement to the current date and time plus 48 hours, rounded down to the nearest hour, then roll DICE24 and add the result of this roll in hours to the Next Movement.” from the same rule

Add “Roll a DICE5. On a result of 3 or less, perform the Moving the Beast Action” as first step of “Sight Disturbances”

Having multiple timers makes playing the game kinda annoying because you look at

Last Catch: 28 August 2024 14:00

and think its safe to do actions

I guess we could also just move the beast time up in the wiki so its easier to spot. but might as well propose doing it all at once

“hey clucky, why the funny DICE5 <= 3” math?

Well its because currently we sight disturbances every 1.5 days, but the beast bellows every 2.5 days

that means, in 15 days we expect to sight disturances 5 times and the beast to bellow 3 times

so to make that balances, we add a DICE5 <= 3!
