Field notes
War Chief Red Thunder in formal trial combat regalia. This is the final test — prove your worth to the coalition or fall. "The ancestors watch. Show them strength."
What you are walking into
Red Thunder (Trial Combat) is level 9, carries 125 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Red Thunder (Trial Combat) plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Red Thunder (Trial Combat)
Red Thunder (Trial Combat) is encountered at Kaiowa Mesa. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Kaiowa Mesa covers what else is there.
