"Time passes, the shadow on the sundial moves..." The influence of Mystic I provokes a roll!

Results: 53 (threshold 5). Nothing so far.

Once you have a gifted follower, you increasingly return to the idea of founding a cult. But in order to do so, initiation to the Principle is essential. And there's a bit of a catch: Of course, you've always dreamed of power and immortality, but higher knowledge sounds pretty good, too. And even human sacrifice isn't too disconcerting - after all, there's plenty of human garbage in the bay...

Also of concern is the decreasing stack of unread books.

Each one promises new secrets of superpowers, but there are simply too few. You need more folios. More!

Ordinary school days were starting. In the case of Winslow High, it was a boiling cauldron of gang kids, informals of all stripes, and generally aggressive and sometimes intimidated teenagers in the prime of puberty. According to unofficial statistics, one in two had a knife, knuckles, or other means of harming their neighbors. (-1 mind action per move for the sake of study, +1 unit of pocket funds every 2nd school week)

Tip of the day: If you walk past a beautiful official-looking building and hear the cries of martyrs and the laughter of the Dark Gods, know that the call center is located there. (I also now know exactly where I won't work for any paycheck...)

Regarding mystics: For each mystic available, a roll is made at the beginning of the turn. If you roll a number below the threshold, you have attracted unnecessary attention. A Mystic exists for two turns. But. If you get a Notoriety, then: A) M. Threshold is increased by 10 for each N, and B) All Mystic lives 1 turn longer as long as there are Ns. Notoriety lasts 4 turns.

Twirling a pen in your hand, you can't concentrate on the journal open to the week's recap page while your elusive gaze keeps returning to the densely packed painting in the dark corner of the attic. Your new vintage lamp provides just enough light for the coffee table, while the rest of the room is plunged into an ominous gloom.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:21

After the recent seizure, there is still a ringing in my head and some emptiness. It doesn't feel like it's going to go away anytime soon. Maybe you should rest more next week.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:21

As you put your pen back over the page, you catch yourself staring at the painting again. Even wrapped in several layers of packaging, it, or even the memory of it itself, continues to affect the mind of the beholder. Perhaps something should be done about it. Having a suitable place outside the house would help a lot with the storage of such things...

[X] (B) This body is mine. 2 All these rites and rituals are quite traumatic, not to mention sacrifices. Yes, and some knowledge, as well as much more than some practices, hurts the one who learns and performs them. You need a much more resilient and strong body so that you don't have to go to the emergency room after every vein you open. Exercise should do you good, and the dumbbells dug out from under the rubble in your room are already helping a lot with that. Requires 2 passes, odds of success 70/15%. (On completion, +1 body action, vitality boost)

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:26

Required: 30/85. Roll: 13 + 10 (Decreasing Growth Burst) + 5 (Vitality) + 10 (Gym Pass) = 38 Pass!

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:27

And fifteen! - With trembling hands, you return the barbell to the rack under the watchful eye of the coach. This is the third attempt today, and probably the last because your muscles are already quite sore. Getting out of bed tomorrow will be a real torture, but the results are visible to the naked eye: you are gradually gaining muscle, and in a couple of weeks you will already look like an amateur athlete, which is no small achievement for yesterday's semi-recluse.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:30

You might even consider asking a local veteran, or even the owner, for a lesson or two. The only thing stopping you is that they're unlikely to take you seriously or charge you more than your meager budget can afford. Maybe once you've become a bit more well-known, it'll be easier to get with one of these helpful people.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:34

[X] (B) Garage junkets. Speaking of junkyards. Since you don't have a basement in your house, because of the proximity of the aquifer, the main place to store all sorts of useless stuff that you feel sorry to throw away is the garage.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 05:36

You can also look for useful things under the pretext of cleaning, and maybe find some tools or materials. If you understand something after a cursory reading of the diary - both are never superfluous. Requires 1 pass, 80%/20% chance of success.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:32

Required: 20/80. Roll: 42 + 5 ( Vitality) = 47 Pass!

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:32

A few free hours after school and part of the weekend you spent dismantling the junk that had piled up in the garage. Among the old garage sale items and forgotten tools there were some interesting, but unfortunately not at all abnormal things. So you requisitioned a lamp in the form of an antique lantern and what was once a wood carving tool set for the attic. Subsequently, someone decided to expand it, adding a few oddly shaped chisels and half-crafted bent iron of unclear purpose with traces of heating.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:34

I also managed to pick up a few sets of old clothes that fit you, so you could walk around the back alleys of the docks without attracting the attention of the local gangs. Among other benefits, there were a few crumpled bills in the inside pocket of one of the jackets, which made a nice addition to your savings.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:35

(Obtained: Toolkit for carving (opens the action of crafting after Mastering of Craft knowledge without the cost of tools); Hobo outfit - camouflage clothing, turning the dressed in the invisible man (+10 to the rolls for the options Search the city and a Reliable place. Only for poor neighborhoods!); Funds - 2 units; Junk for sale - 5 units (may be worth something when selling at the flea market); Visibly cleaner and organized garage (in the absence of Linda you can try to conduct some ritual in it, although in the attic is still more convenient))

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:38

[X] (F) The creation of art. Your parents and teachers have mentioned more than once that you're not a bad painter. You've indeed been neglecting it lately, but getting an album and paints out of a drawer is a minute's work. And although the painting will take a long time, if you put the picture in a frame, it can try to sell. And you'll need the money and a lot of it. Requires 1 pass, chances of success 80%/60%/40%/20%/5%.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:42

Required: 20/40/60/80/95. Roll: 86 x 1.5 (Emotional Fountain) + 5 (Vivid Imagination) + 5 (Painter) + 5 (Good Paint Set) = 144! Supercrit!

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:42

You don't remember exactly what happened. The last memory of a piece of text crawling into your head through your eye sockets contradicts the laws of reality and common sense. It also gives absolutely no answers about what happened afterward.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:43

Apparently, hours after this event, you woke up on the floor in front of your finished painting with your face covered in blood and paint. Judging by the smears on your skin, you used the blood oozing from your eyes and nose to dilute the paint, which is disturbing in itself. That just looking at the painting made it ooze again from the barely crusted ducts is far worse.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:43

After all, you managed to turn the painting back against the wall before it could do anything unnatural to your mind. The fact that you were able to get away from it without any help at all is regarded as a small miracle. Removed from the easel for framing, the back of the canvas revealed a vast patch of primer detailing a scattering of assorted eyes and a single inscription:

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:44

//Fascination.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:45

Well, the title is as good as any. And it's also done in bright scarlet, with a fair amount of blood. So symbolic!

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:45

Obtained item: Picture Artifact "Fascination". Power of Aspects: 3 Lantern, 3 Moth. Can be used in rituals, but increases the chance of failure. (In case of "Horror" influence, a new voting option will be available: " Neutralizing by Fascination")

[X] (M) School attendance. As a minor U.S. citizen, you are obligated to receive a general education. The state doesn't need savages. Well, more than there already are. The usual school routine has set in. Repetitive action, 90% chance of success.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:47

Required: 10. Roll: 84 + 5 (Scholarship) + 5 ( Enlightenment) = 94 Pass!

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:48

Out of boredom and because of the primitiveness of the knowledge taught at Winslow, you easily complete any assignment with the highest marks. This does not go unnoticed: the teachers were so surprised by your academic performance that they made a series of tests trying to catch you cheating. There have also been a few dozen of odd looks from other students, but exactly what they mean is still unclear.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:49

You've also noticed that you get pushed around a lot less in the halls, although this is more likely due to your increased body weight. But nerd calls are much more frequent but less and less to your face. Linda enjoys good grades and occasionally orders pastries to celebrate your progress.

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:49

[X] (R) Books are immortal memory. Among other things, the Predecessor's possessions contained books. It is unlikely that he kept tabloid journalism along with mystical pigments. The subject matter of the books and the references in the diary suggest the same thing: Whatever the content, these texts are related to Mansus and the Principles. There is much to be gained by reading them... Except, where to begin?

Camrad_RIP 11.06.22 в 08:50

- "Traveling at the Night," by Christopher Illopoli, volume 3. Requires 1 pass, 75%/15% chance of success.
