Outcome

Prior

Your Magic or Insight cannot sustain your exploration of this dreamscape
The barrier between dream and reality grows fragile as you jolt awake. The Book of Dragonslaying slips from the table. By the time you bend to pick it up, the dream has already faded beyond recall.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Regular

You cast off the burdens of the mundane
Instinctively, you shed the heavy armor from your body, casting it aside. In that moment, it feels as though more than just the weight of your armor washes away like a receding tide – the expectations that once clung to you, the morality that bound you, the ties that connected you to everyone else...



In the dream, you are suddenly overcome by a strange lightness, and with it comes a loneliness you barely have time to grasp.



Is this what freedom feels like?



The black shadow can no longer strike or stop you. You let yourself close your eyes, falling deeper into the dream.



You fall.



Deeper.



Deeper...



Deeper!



Then you see the dragon.



Its enormous golden eyes, shimmering and fluid, fix upon you with fierce intensity.



In front of the dragon, between you and it, stand numerous silver figures – a man among many women.



"You will not win – even if you have entered my mind, you will not win," the dragon hisses, "You're just another worm!"



The silver women walk to your side, surrounding you, whispering a name... "Adila, little Adila, our little Adila, she will win, we know, she will win..."



A silver quenched longsword appears in your hand. You instinctively slash down...



Then, you wake up. The Book of Dragonslaying has somehow crumbled to ash, while the knowledge of dragons has silently etched itself into your mind...

Action:

You failed to repel the shadow
Too many things you can't let go keep pulling you back. Countless voices call your name, while endless hands reach for you – pleading, demanding. They weave a massive web that binds you tightly to exactly where you belong.



You hear the shadow's contemptuous sneer. The massive weapon arcs toward you, its blade cutting through air with such force, leaving you nowhere to escape.



And suddenly, you jolt awake. The Book of Dragonslaying slips from your grasp, its pages damp with your sweat.
