NMYF: Poison of the soul

[ReubanBrightwood]

Aurora a few things to keep in mind: repeating a failed action incurs a cumulative -1 penalty (next attempt would have a -2), you also have a -1 wound penalty but, you don't have any penalties from contagion as you have not exceed your spell tolerance (you only have 2 spells in your pattern affecting you) I appreciate its is an awful lot to keep track of, hope this helps!

And when tracking wp mage use the half max so you have 4 per scene, you have used 2 and thus have 2 wp left to use (you can of course recover wp with all usual ways and means.

Asclepius is up to post.

Aurora made a good point, and gave a decent idea for another plan that he could contribute too. “Yes, wildlife certainly could aid us here... and if we can't find it. We could perhaps conjure it. Well going against natural instincts is one thing, but everyone needs food.” A cold statement but this was a cold clean-up operation.

He nodded to the announcement of recasting. “Okay, no worries.” Spotting a somewhat suitable spot to dispose of the body brought some relief to him. All that was needed was the discussed castings, which given the second outburst of frustration seemed to not go well. He offered a neutral look and showed no signs of irritation. “You got this, deep breaths.” At the end of the day, we all had those moments at the worst times for them. A reevaluation might be needed after all if this does not work.

Aurora burning through mana attempts once again to cast her spell and disguise the cause of death and once again fallen reality refuses to change, her will unable to make things as she wishes, perhaps a reflection of her inner turmoil?. After all she has been through unfortunate but no completely surprising he last day has been rather harrowing, even for the touch Shaman.

Asclepius having found his spot will need to engage with some spell casting of his own or extended tracking work if animals are wanted, wild animals after all are not known for just walking up to two strange humans at night.

A few deep breaths were taken as she tries to calm herself. Failing this many times wasn’t like her. But after the day she had had, and just wanting it to be over, maybe it was to be expected.

One final breath and one final cast.

But it wasn’t to be and the spell once again, failed to catch.

Balling her fists, “It’s just not going to work, it’s not going to let me. I’m sorry.” Looking disappointed in herself at this. “I could maybe scour again, but I have a feeling the universe is going to continue to fight me on this, on hiding the true nature of the wound.” Was she willing to scour again? Absolutely, her face said it all, but it also showed how tired she was. “I’m willing to do whatever needs to be done.” Gotta give it to her, still willing to keep going.
