Choice Text and Results
Join her dance
If you don't have Fae Blessing active:
You do your best to keep up with her, but she just ends up looking disappointed.
You've earned 1 XP in Reflexes
You've earned 1 XP in Strength
Otherwise, with Fae Blessing?:
You dance with her, following along with her steps until… for a moment, you actually convince yourself you can fly.
You learned a new Technique: Fae Leap
You've earned 3 XP in Reflexes
You've earned 3 XP in Strength
Otherwise:
You certainly don't embarrass yourself, but it's challenging to follow her movements. There's a certain fluid grace you'd expect from a long-time dancer but also… patterns that seem a little wrong.
In any case, it's a great workout.
You've earned 3 XP in Reflexes
You've earned 3 XP in Strength
Talk about music
She talks a bit about how all her favorite new bands are experimenting with classical woodwinds and percussion. Her explanation, frankly, doesn't make things any clearer so it's probably for the best she shared an example over.
You've gained 25 duration of Subterranean Delights.
Or, if you have other music playing:
You compare notes a bit. She's surprisingly knowledgeable about music, even beyond her own preferred genre.
You've earned 3 XP in Perception
Kill her instead
She jumps to the side of your initial attack, her eyes wide like she's as surprised by her motion as you are. But, as you continue, the surprise and hope both drain from her eyes.
(Fight a Fae Dancer, removes this encounter for the day if you win; no consequence if you lose/run away)
Turn her down
She nods "okay, maybe later."
