A Complication

Start Description:

@#ee.armouredgate|A heavy reinforced door bars my way. #ee.avidadept|'There's a Grail-adept already camped out near the site. You'll need to be ready for her tricks.' #ee.bosk|Thorned caressing branches, the scents of darkest green, furred movements beneath my hand, the black and beating darkness... the Wood runs close beneath the skin of the world here. #ee.coiltrace|'That power itself, the thing under the earth. Bureau says it started as a lesser tendril of the Seven-Coiled. Old god, d'you see? The god-flesh starts to rot and something else starts to breed in it. What they call Worms. I'd watch yourself. Fair warning.' #ee.crags|'Lot of the passes going up there have been blocked. You'll need to find a road or make one. I'd try to get you explosives, but the Bureau side doesn't like 'em, and the Army side doesn't like me.' #ee.creepinghorror|A creeping horror filters in through the skin. Come closer, says the night. Come closer. #ee.deceiver|A creature of twisting guile lurks here! #ee.devourer|A creature of crushing strength lurks here! Some monsters are the Lionsmith's children; some are Echidna's; some are both. Others are worse. #ee.feast|The way to where I go requires something like a ritual, or a feast. I'd like to think of it as a party, though it's not the kind of party I'd choose. I'll need to keep a level head, weird intoxications or not. If I can't I'll come back with nothing more interesting than a hangover. #ee.fretfuldead|Cobwebby, reproachful remnants - fragile, but quicker than they look, and their touch will draw the years right out through the skin. #ee.guardedcompound|A guarded compound - walls, towers, and watchers. #ee.labyrinthseal|An extraordinary knot of mechanisms sealing an armoured vault door. I'm not clear if it's entirely occult or entirely mechanical in nature, but I know it's entirely going to make my life difficult. #ee.ligeian|A Ligeian! I can't defeat her, but I can convince her I'm not worth the trouble. #ee.miasma|A sticky, stenchy miasma. My head swims. #ee.mist|The Nameless Name of the Velvet has passed this way. This mist is the hem of her grey garment. It'll be hell to find a way through. #ee.monks|The guards of this place aren't susceptible to bribes or seduction. Some would say that's because of the holy oaths they've taken, but I suspect it's because they watch each other carefully. #ee.ordeal.agony|Now I face an Ordeal of Agony. I've done this kind of thing before, which is why I'm not looking forward to doing it again. I still carry the scars from last time, though not on my skin. #ee.ordeal.desolation|Now I face an Ordeal of Desolation - a sunset in the soul. #ee.ordeal.enigma|Now I face an Enigmatic Ordeal. There are two ways through: understand everything, or understand nothing. #ee.percussigant|A lolloping whirl of furred, clawed music demands my immediate attention. A Percussigant! #ee.scarredduellist|A scarred duellist salutes me. #ee.securevault|A heavy vault door with an impressive lock. #ee.shadowedway|The entrance is here, somewhere. I just need to find it. #ee.soldiers|Armed men guard this place. #ee.storm|Thunder stalks the lightning through the clouds, and the rain comes down like fists. #ee.strixriddenadversary|A duellist scuttles keening towards you. His muscles are taut and trembling, and his eyes are black and gold like an owl's. He's strix-ridden - possessed by a many-winged Names of the Edge powers. #ee.thugs|A surly band of miscreants loiters here, eager for trouble. #ee.unknownlocation|An unknown location. I'll need to start by finding exactly where this place even is. #ee.unwelcomememories|Unwelcome memories! The mirrors in the walls flash, and flash again, and I see myself, in my days of service to the Foe - what was done to me, and worse, what I did - #ee.vigil|The songs of the cultist soften into something like a lullaby. I find that I'm struggling to keep my eyes open. My head feels stuffed with feathers. Somehow, I'll have to stay awake until dawn. #|A complication lies ahead.@ [Most Complications can be defeated with enough of the appropriate Aspect.]
