Choice Text and Results
Dance along
You do your best to move along with the bouncing orb of light. It's not easy, but you can feel a strange energy spreading through your body the closer you match its movements.
You've gained 25 energy of Fae Blessing.
Watch instead
You watch its strange dance and listen to the sound that accompanies it, a gentle ringing like far-off bells. You think you've begun to understand the patterns, but you could just be finding order where there is none.
You've earned 4 XP in Perception
Capture it
(Without enough fae blessing?)
You open the urn carefully so you only spill a few drops of water. The light flits in one direction, then another, moving with blinding speed.
You lunge forward with the urn, but don't manage to match its rhythm. Before you can make another attempt, it vanishes into the cavern wall.
Drat.
Or, successful capture
You open the urn carefully so you only spill a few drops of water. The light flits in one direction, then another, moving with blinding speed.
You lunge forward with the urn, perfectly matching its rhythm, and catch it in the seawater. A moment later, you slap the lid back on and your job is done.
Turn your back
You turn your back on the light and walk away. It's painful, like you're leaving a bit of yourself behind.
