#Mörktober Day 12: BINDING

Head binding board by @hobbymule.bsky.social

Not every Hvsk has the luck of head-shaping at birth.

Struggle +Toughness DR 12. If successful -d4 hp. Wear the binding for 1 week. When complete, permanently increase Presence by 1 (2 if Hvsk’s class is Human Sacrifice)

Painting by Paul Kane, showing a Chinookan child in the process of having their head flattened, and an adult after the process.

You know who survives doomsday events? People who share and cooperate with their neighbors.

A “bunker” is a terrible survival strategy which will essentially wind up being a tomb for the modern pharaoh whose body will be discovered years later.

The user’s blood is filtered through the larva and returned to the user restoring all of their hit points.

The user can not die so long as it has access to the Chronos Beetle. The user must drink human blood every day or slowly turn into stone.

#Mörktober Day 10: BEETLE

The Chronos

A clockwork beetle made by a cursed alchemist. When triggered on a body its metallic legs grab into the flesh of its user and the machine inserts a proboscis which draws blood into the body of a living larva housed in the body of the device.

Yestreen I received a quest from George Fox while dodging spells and defeating a dragon through the power of pacifism. If this sounds cool to you, check out the game "Clockwork and Chivalry" by Cakebread and Walton. You'll love it if you have an interest in TTRPGs and Early Modern History.
