This person is dead. But the walls between death and life are just another opening. Heart might give life, and the reborn soul might impart upon you a secret before telling you to move on. Or, if you are intent on bypassing an eternal guardian, Winter will end, or Forge free.
Expeditions
- An Anachronism
Requirements
- Heart (Invokes the Caladrius)
- Winter (Invokes the Ferryman)
- Forge (Invokes the Silver Owl)
Heart Invocation
We call upon the Caladrius
- Heart 10: We call upon the Caladrius, who does not permit death. This spirit will be revived... But we will not pass.
- Heart 5: We call upon the Caladrius, who cures what is incurable. Even death can be cured, in strange times. But are these times strange enough?
- Heart 1: We call upon the Caladrius, who fears death. It will use its power to chase dark death away from this spirit. Hopefully.
- Heart Success: They awake! Their cheeks are rosy with health, and their lips are red with blood. We will hear their wisdom, now.
- Heart Failure: Nothing. Only the pale, mouthless shade of the Dead is here. And we still cannot bypass it.
Winter Invocation
We call upon the Ferryman.
- Winter 10: We call upon the Ferryman, who ends. The Ferryman keeps its bargains, and does not tolerate theft. Success is certain.
- Winter 5: We call upon the Ferryman, who judges. The Ferryman will decide where this soul belongs. We'll probably be fine.
- Winter 1: We call upon the Ferryman, who bargains. The Ferryman weighs the souls of the living and the dead with its arms. If we're lucky, we might make it through.
- Winter Success: The Dead are cold with the chill of Winter. The Ferryman is colder. Web-like wisps of fog conceal this shade from our sight. When they clear, the spirit has vanished.
- Winter Failure: No... No! Run, before it takes us!
Forge Invocation
We call upon the Strigiforme Slag.
- Forge 10: We call upon the Strigiforme Slag, who will never submit. Her power will free this soul from bondage, so that we may pass.
- Forge 5: We call upon the Strigiforme Slag, who is unchained. Her power might shatter the force which binds this soul to vigil. Probably.
- Forge 1: We call upon the Strigiforme Slag, who cannot be commanded. She cares little for slave-driver or for slave. Perhaps we may make it through.
- Forge Success: When the Dead are summoned to the world, and their bodies are gone, they use what they can find to make a form. Now that this spirit has left, all that remains are broken keys and tattered paper.
- Forge Failure: The room fills with bitter fire and choking smoke. We must leave, before we suffocate. The spirit will be there when we return, no doubt.
