  • Dangerous crossing

    Crossing a room or an area with strange gravity requires the party to complete a Progress Countdown (4). A PC who rolls a failure with fear is immediately targeted by the "slipping grip" action without requiring a Fear to be spent on the action.

    Questions
    • Have any of the PCs been stuck in space before?

Actions

  • Slipping grip
    Fear 1

    Holds are sparse and slippery. A PCs grip starts to slip and their must make an Agility Reaction Roll. On a failed roll they must mark a stress as they start to drift away. They are moved a close distance towards the pull and they become Vulnerable until they find something to hold on to or someone else helps them back.
    On a successful roll they must mark a stress.

    Any PC tied to another PC may make this roll with advantage.

    Questions
    • What is causing this unnatural shift?
    • How do the PCs feel as their center of gravity change?

Reactions

  • Taking advantage

    When the Progress Countdown reaches its halfway mark (2), parasitic humanoid bodyparts may start to crawl out of vents at far range of a chosen PC. They will identify the PCs as likely prey.

    Questions
    • How might the creatures move in this space?
