History
Book 5
The Butcher’s Masquerade
Carl copies recipes from the guide into his scratchpad and Cookbook. He later obtains rare dream wisps during a club visit, giving him the missing material he needs to build Spider Stalkers.
Donut activates the hunter-seeking Spider Stalkers at the start of the raid, so their kills count toward her rewards. When Kiwi and Mongo kill some of the hunters first, the remaining machines change targets. Samantha destroys the anti-air defense in a separate diversion.[2]

Book 6
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Later rewards include two table-upgrade coupons and Doctor Ratchet’s Automaton Build-It Kit, with parts for more than fifteen devices. Carl opens the supplies and gives most of them to Mordecai.[3]
