Hi.
I understand that things that happen in the fiction do not influence the rolls (which is hard to do without a GM¹,) but shouldn't earlier events be easier to do? Or did I miss a mechanic? It feels bizarre that our band of (former) holy warriors would have as much trouble dealing with a Thriving Hamlet, Preparing for the harvest (because they don't even know how much things are about to change,) as they do a band of AncientUndead Lordsworns from a forgotten age, who want to Sacrifice the party to their old god, in the vain hope that it can take the recently vacated godspace.
(I was thinking, perhaps the earlier (Unaware and Panicked) events would let you re-roll one or two 1s, and the later events (Omen-Filled and Apocalyptic) would force you to re-roll a couple 4s? But I don't want to modify a game I haven't even run in "vanilla mode" yet.)

(1) You can, of course, ask players to weigh in on this, but I remember this being pretty awkward in a game of Follow - "I don't think that scene went well enough, so I'm a gonna fuck up our chances at the game's quest, YOLO!" Not a fan.
