You See Through Its Movements!
Its touch is like sun-warmed fur. Yet when you grip it hard, the creature bursts with a muffled pop, dissolving into the air—its essence soaking into your skin. In its wake remains a strange memory: the weary satisfaction of endless sword practice.

Conditions:

Result:

You're Cast Down From the Clouds.
A squirrel leaps onto your lap, then scrambles up to the crown of your head!

With a sound like a cork popping free, something inside your mind is wrenched loose—snatched away by that uncanny creature. Panic and dread overwhelm you. The world spins, and you tumble helplessly into the billowing fog below... You fall, and fall, until at last you crash onto a banquet table. Blinking, you see Hassan seated across from you.

"What is it, my friend? You look adrift... Too much wine in your head, perhaps? I've felt the same. Come, drink again with me. Let new wine wash away the old."

For a long moment you sit stunned, unable to recall what just happened. It's as if invisible threads had scraped through your mind, stripping away whatever didn't belong. And so you forget. The troubling questions dissolve into mist. You drink with Hassan until the cups blur together, until he finally staggers to his feet and takes his leave.

The matter ends there. As for what you've lost... no one remembers, not even you.

Conditions:

Result:

They swoop in, eager to snatch up every scrap of useless information.
You snatch up a little-known tidbit and fling it toward the sparrows, scattering it like handfuls of grain. The trick works: every eye snaps to you. Smack after smack, you flatten the little creatures, as if pressing down tiny clouds... A curious flavor drifts through the air—the stories of others, true or false, slipping straight into you before you even realize it.

Conditions:

Result:

You anticipate their moves.
They dive, chittering and darting toward your face, as if planning to build a nest in your ears! Smack after smack, you flatten the little creatures, as if pressing down tiny clouds... A curious flavor drifts through the air—the stories of others, true or false, slipping straight into you before you even realize it.

Conditions:

Result:

You're Cast Down From the Clouds.
You shout, trying to scare the strange creatures away, but they dart into your mouth! And your ears! Fear and panic knock you off balance. The world spins, and you tumble helplessly into the billowing fog below... You fall, and fall, until at last you crash onto a banquet table. Blinking, you see Hassan seated across from you.

The troubling questions dissolve into mist. You drink with Hassan until the cups blur together, until he finally staggers to his feet and takes his leave.

The matter ends there. Yet in the real world, some of your words and suspicions have already slipped from your lips and ears into the hearts of others, and you remain blissfully unaware.

Conditions:

Result:

Of course, you are not fooled by such petty tricks.
The patterns on the toads' backs shift, yet you already know the rudimentary tricks of their magic... Their texture beneath your feet is warm and spongy, like moss freshly bathed in sunlight. For a fleeting moment, memories of your childhood games rush back and you realize you once noticed far more than any adult around you ever could.

Action:

You're Cast Down From the Clouds.
You lift your foot to crush the toad... but suddenly, the patterns on its back shift. There—your own face glares back at you! It's as if someone struck you square in the jaw. Pain flares, and you lose your balance. The world spins, and you tumble helplessly into the billowing fog below... You fall, and fall, until at last you crash onto a banquet table.
