In the larger towns, a more formal punishment has been imposed: Exposure. Anyone guilty of violating the sacrifice is stripped of cold weather gear, taken a couple of miles out of town, and abandoned.I think I'm going to do it this way, and also combine the sacrifices for the larger towns. Able to gather more food through hunting, fishing or trade, and to huddle together in larger numbers, they must sacrifice both food and warmth on nights of the new moon to appease the Frostmaiden.I'm probably not going to use Cold Hearted Killer in my first playthrough, but a good way to adapt it to the above scenario is for the killer to target anyone who successfully avoids the sacrifice of food or warmth and keeps it secret, or who successfully bribes the guards or otherwise diverts suspicion from themselves and thus evades their punishment.</blockquote>
