2 small questions about horror mark

[Edi]

At least mages carrying the Forbidden Light unique artifact can expect to get attacked by horrors within the next five to ten turns after equipping the artifact. That's the way it worked in Dom-PPP anyway the times I saw Forbidden Light being used, but its description says it attracts horrors so the chances of attack are probably drastically increased.

yeah zens miqr says that too . another that example is the gift of kugri . so these 2 items need probably very good protection of the wearer

i really would like to know the odds for a simple soul contract . in order to evaluate if the odds are poor enough like 1% to not be worth trying to protect the wearer's because if the soul contract is in use for average 50+ turns it really pays of well enough .
if the odds would be instead 5-10% i would perhaps take different measures .
unfortunately abysia has no cheap scouts or leaders so i think "cheapest" solution is to hoard them on researching sages .
but if the odds would be 5-10% that would be perhaps to careless .
so does anyone know the odds or should i ask the developers cause i really want to know that

The most cost-effective place to put soul contracts is on a scout. The chance of a horror attack is low enough that you only really have to worry about it over a period of dozens of turns.

my favourite so far abysia does unfortunately have no scouts so there i think sages are a good solution if you find them .
do you know graeme if the chance doubles with 2 soul contracts on the same scout ?

Hire indy scouts. They are likely available in most of your captured provinces.

No problem. Glad to help. BTW, at 20gp each, indy scouts are dirt-cheap.
