Features

Passives

passive
  • Sinister Atmosphere

    The Myre has a sinister curiosity that follows and deeply unnerves even the bravest of adventurers. The first time a PC catches their own reflection, they Mark a Stress and increase their Fear Die to a d20 until they succeed with Hope.

  • The Only Way Out Is Through

    Moving through this muddy marsh isn't for the weak, requiring the PC's to succeed on a Progress Countdown (12). A PC who rolls a failure with Fear is immediately targeted by the Sinking, Sinking action without spending a Fear to be spent on the feature.

  • Rise, Gravelings!

    Spend a Fear to reveal a faceless Graveling thief. This avatar of the Mirrormyre's curiosity appears within Far Range of a chosen PC, visible to only them, and immediately uses the "Sucking Face" action, after which it becomes visible to all PC's.

Actions

action
  • One Unlucky Visitor
    Fear 1

    The PC's find what remains of a merchant caught in the murky depths, and can scavenge their body to find 1d4 Common and Uncommon items.

  • Bubble and Boil
    Fear 1

    Spend a Fear to manifest a gurgling garden of black bubbles around the PC, exploding with fire across the Mirrormyre. All PC's must make an Agility roll or take 2d6+3 physical damage. All who fail are temporarily lit On Fire. When a creature acts while On Fire, they must take an extra 2d6 magic damage if they are still On Fire at the end of their action.

  • Sinking, Sinking
    Fear 1

    Spend a Fear to trap a PC in sinking swamp sludge. They must succeed on a Strength Reaction Roll or become temporarily Vulnerable and Restrained.
