Actions

action
  • Can you stomach it?
    Fear 1

    Target one player who must roll a d6. Their PC suffers an effect based on the number rolled:

    1 - The target is affected by two different effects of the DM’s choosing.

    2 - the targets eyes become blurry, making their next two attacks with disadvantage.

    3 - the target’s esophagus is irritated from an acidic gas, making them cough every few seconds. They are unable to ambush enemies until they take a long rest.

    4 - the target’s mind becomes fuzzy. The next time they make an action roll, they will automatically fail. The failure does not generate hope or fear.

    5 - the target starts hallucinating and must mark a stress.

    6 - the target smells a funny smell.

Reactions

reaction
  • Shifting walls
    Fear 1

    If an attack misses and hits a wall, the walls shift making the passage narrower, restraining the players for one turn while they are in a narrow passage. If there is one or more PC to the left or right of one another, all of them mark a stress as they are squeezed tightly together.
