Extra

You sit in the silent room, feeling the otherworld seeping in through every line of the book, through every spell etched into your blood. They come, hungering for innocent blood, delighted to find a vessel as perfect as you.

When the darkness finally takes shape, you rise. You refuse to be the lamb at the feast. No matter how many times this creature has presided over its midnight banquets, tonight it learns you are no easy prey.
The devoured souls knit themselves into a warped, living shape, their twisted mass breaking apart as each name is spoken. The more you call them, the weaker the form becomes—until at last it collapses and the malice dissolves. The room falls still. You catch your breath and lower your weapons—the blade of steel, and the blade of will.

Behind you, Asal is scribbling furiously into his notebook, pressing his face close to the space where the Lord of Revels lingered, sniffing, murmuring, his eyes alight. "At last... I've seen it. I can record it now..."

Even you can't help but think he looks like a lunatic.

Only when he scrawls his final line does he look up, bow deeply, and stammer: "My gratitude—and my shame—cannot be expressed enough, it's like—"

You're too exhausted to listen. With a weary flick of your hand, you dismiss him. Enough for tonight. You need sleep.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

The devoured souls knit themselves into a warped, living shape, their wrath and despair striking you like a tide. You die—or maybe you don't. The Lord of Revels has claimed your flesh, and whatever comes next is no longer yours to know.

Conditions:

Action:

You're so sure of your own power that you refuse to rely on any other means to weaken your foe. You face the creature head-on, determined to show this arrogant outsider who truly rules here.

And you succeed. Malice dissolves into nothing. The world around you falls silent once more. You calmly sheathe your weapon. Behind you, Asal is scribbling furiously into his notebook, pressing his face close to the space where the Lord of Revels lingered, sniffing, murmuring, his eyes alight. "At last... I've seen it. I can record it now..."

Even you can't help but think he looks like a lunatic.

Only when he scrawls his final line does he look up, bow deeply, and stammer: "My gratitude—and my shame—cannot be expressed enough, it's like—"

...You're too tired to listen to more of his nonsense. You wave him off and let it go. At least you've had a fight worth remembering.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You're so sure of your own power that you refuse to rely on any other means to weaken your foe. But when the darkness closes around you, you realize too late just how reckless you've been. Regret is useless now. You die—or maybe you don't. The Lord of Revels has claimed your flesh, and whatever comes next is no longer yours to know.

Conditions:

Action:

You took this opportunity to break a Conquest Card
The Sultan demands a full account of the battle. From the look in his eyes you catch a flicker of envy. He missed a fight like that. How unforgivable.
