6 Story Clue
[Begin a Session: Unforeseen aid is on the way or within reach] A clue to a lifeform's nature or vulnerabilities
Skysquid? [Ask the Oracle: Yes]
Does the tower hold this information? [Ask the Oracle: Yes]
Undertake an Expedition
When you trailblaze a route through perilous space, journey over hazardous terrain, or survey a mysterious site, give the expedition a name and rank. Then, for each segment of the expedition, envision your approach. If you…
Keep under the radar: Roll +shadow
[Miss: 4+2+0=6 vs 9 | 8]
Burn Momentum (10)
[Strong Hit: 4 + 2 + 0 = 10 vs 9 | 8]
On a strong hit, you reach a waypoint. Envision the location and mark progress per the rank of the expedition.
Exploring the Doomspire: 1: Mechanical Feature: 36 machine fabrication or repair
Is the technology similar to that of the Great machine? [Ask the oracle: yes]
Gather Information
When you search for clues, conduct an investigation, analyze evidence, or do research, roll +wits.
[Gearhead: When you make a move to craft, repair, repurpose, or modify equipment or technology, add +1 and take +1 momentum on a hit.]
[Weak Hit: 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 vs 10 | 5]
On a weak hit, the information provides new insight, but also complicates your quest. Envision what you discover. Then, take +1 momentum. (4)
Arrive Survival - The Sky Squid can be summoned and controlled. But the information about the Tower's purpose is out of reach, too dangerous to access directly.
Secure an Advantage
When you assess a situation, make preparations, or attempt to gain leverage, envision your action and roll.
Create a map
If you act…
With expertise, focus, or observation: Roll +wits
[Weak Hit: 1 + 3 + 0 = 4 vs 2 | 8]
On a hit, you succeed. On a strong hit, take both.
Take +2 momentum (6)
Add +1 on your next move (not a progress move)
Undertake an Expedition
When you trailblaze a route through perilous space, journey over hazardous terrain, or survey a mysterious site, give the expedition a name and rank. Then, for each segment of the expedition, envision your approach. If you…
Stay vigilant: Roll +wits
[Weak Hit: 4 + 3 + 1 = 8 vs 10 | 6]
On a strong hit, you reach a waypoint. Envision the location and mark progress per the rank of the expedition.
On a weak hit, as above, but this progress costs you. Choose one.
Suffer costs en route: Make a suffer move (-2), or two suffer moves (-1).
Face a peril at the waypoint: Envision what you encounter. *
Exploring the Doomspire: 1: Mechanical Feature: 80: Mechanical environment in motion or transforming
Trouble in the Doomspire: 1: [Pay the Price: An individual or community you care about is exposed to danger]
