Extra

Cutting Through Pain
[s1.name] hacks brutally at the obstructing grass, creating a rough path. The grass seems alive, dancing in cold wind. Soon blood flows, and everyone suffers wounds.

Before the wind strengthens further, the exploration team retreats.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Woven Passage
[s1.name] meticulously prepares with chains, sickles, and heavy iron gloves. You bind swaying bladed grass with cut sturdy leaves, methodically clearing a path into the plain's depths.

Conditions:

Freezing Spirits
Supernatural cold descends. Reaching for exorcism talismans, the team discovers their fingers already frozen.

"Leave! Abandon this place where nobility rests! Or suffer our eternal punishment!"

These frost spirits seem cursed to forever experience their oath-breaking coldness... Whatever their crimes, they now block your expedition.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Spectral Blindness
[s2.name] anoints everyone with goat oil, making your expedition appear as wild animals to vengeful spirits. Enduring bone-chilling cold, explorers slip past wandering ghosts into long-untrodden hills...

Where stars shine with extraordinary brilliance.

Conditions:

Starlight Secrets
The expedition finds nothing; the open hills offer only the sky... stars... stars... stars... A peculiar place indeed.

Starlight Secrets
The expedition finds nothing; the open hills offer only the sky... stars... stars... stars... A peculiar place indeed.

Conditions:

Action:

Cleansing Fire
Using [s5.name]'s power, you ignite this haunted wasteland. Sharp dry grass burns wildly, occasionally erupting into towering flame pillars accompanied by ghostly wails.

No sane person would enter until everything becomes ash.

Conditions:

Starlight Secrets
Among ash-covered hills, the expedition finds nothing; the open hills offer only the sky... stars... stars... stars... A peculiar place indeed. At least the fire destroyed everything, eliminating future exploration value.

Conditions:

Result:

Starlit Treasures
Like lifting a veil, [s3.name] unravels the starlight's mystery - discovering secrets hidden in plain sight: female personal items including precious but aged clothes and footwear. They belonged to someone noble who removed these garments on this hill, carefully folding and arranging them. What happened next remains unknown.

Action:

Whispers of the Plains
When the Roaming Swordsman first set foot on these plains, you all felt the change in the air.

The wind carried whispers, spectral wails filled the night, and the Sharp Grass made that unsettling sound - like countless blades clashing in battle.

Without hesitation, he drew his ancient sword - and like a key turning in a lock, silence fell. The iron-strong Sharp Grass bowed to the earth like obedient servants... The spirits dissolved into mist with satisfied moans, mingling with the plains' frost before rushing eagerly toward his ancestral blade.

A ritual of sacrifice, punishment, and absolution all at once. Then, as if answering some silent call, he charged madly toward the starlit hill... You saw nothing there, yet he dug like a man possessed... None dared approach - he swung that strange weapon at anyone who tried to stop him or even offer water... You had no choice but to leave him to his feverish task.

When the Roaming Swordsman first set foot on these plains, you all felt the change in the air.

The wind carried whispers, spectral wails filled the night, and the Sharp Grass made that unsettling sound - like countless blades clashing in battle.

Without hesitation, he drew his ancient sword - and like a key turning in a lock, silence fell. The iron-strong Sharp Grass bowed to the earth like obedient servants... The spirits dissolved into mist with satisfied moans, mingling with the plains' frost before rushing eagerly toward his ancestral blade.

A ritual of sacrifice, punishment, and absolution all at once. Then, as if answering some silent call, he charged toward that empty hill... The stars seemed to punish him, hiding what he sought as he dug desperately among stones and wild grass, his hands bloody and tears streaming...

You, unable to watch his suffering any longer, revealed what had been hidden from him - women's belongings lying there all along: fine but weathered garments and shoes... They must have belonged to someone of noble birth who had removed them on this hill, folding each piece carefully... What happened after, we can only guess.

Like a man possessed, the swordsman fled with these seemingly worthless relics, running beneath the night sky and wailing like a child... No one could catch him.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Summoned by Ash
Black fragments from the burning grass and spirits danced wildly across the plains, sparks flying through the air like some terrible ceremony.

The nameless Roaming Swordsman had been watching silently with your expedition when suddenly - the starlight flickered through smoke and ash, revealing truths only he could see - he snapped. Cursing and weeping, he charged sword-drawn into the flames...

No one could stop him in time, nor did anyone dare follow him into that inferno... You all simply watched as he vanished into the wild dance of fire and ash.

Conditions:

Action:

Barren Grounds
The connection to the Homeland piqued the Sultan's interest somewhat... though he clearly scorned these spirits. After all, no matter how they haunt these plains, they could never harm their true enemy - the exalted Sultan himself.

Nevertheless, your courage has earned you a Conquest Card.

Conditions:

Result:

Keep Silent
Speak of these supernatural events linked to the Homeland at court, and you'll surely face accusations of treason and disrespect... Better not to use this adventure to break a Sultan Card.
