[HQ Ignorance] Scene 57: The Graveyard Shift (and new player, Damien)

[Lev Lafayette]

Hmmm... Not so luck of Knarl...

As Knarl awakens he immediately finds himself being
affected by Talor's Curse, one of the most powerful
magics of Glorantha. However he recognises the effects
and the task in front of him and immediately prays, in
the style of the Telmori, to Gargarth. The ecstatic
rites seem to be rejected.. What sort of Gargathi
*doesn't* want to go wild? 

As the suppressed curse of Talor runs through his
body, he feels his willpower slipping away. His lust
for flesh and blood is increasing....

Resistance to Request (+5 to standard, i.e., 19)

Both succeed, resistance lower so it wins. Spend a 1
HP if you want the failure to become a success. It
will provide an augment to next ability test, which
is.

"Keep Your Wits About You During Talor's
Transformation".

This an ability which you don't have, and indeed, very
few Telmori have even attempted. In other words you
have a default ability of 6, or 13 if you spend 2 Hero
Points for an "in play" expenditure for an appropriate
ability (for example "Strong Willed" - which can be
justified from your personal journey from Dragon Pass
to Seshnela).

To resist the effects of the transformation would be a
resistance of 5W2 imo. With the advantages of the
meditative state and the drugs you'd get a bonus of
+10.
