ROOKS SPEED - Gain the speed and agility of a Kyodainan Rook for one battle. Before battle begins you can activate this

 KEY LOCATION - THE VILLAGE OF EDA

The beautiful treetop Village of Eda is under

attack! Imperial Soldiers are swarming across
its bridges and balconies, tearing houses
apart, splitting up families, ransacking personal
possessions and hurting innocents...

Upon arrival here you can choose to draw from the

encounter table over the page if you want to get
involved with the plight of the innocent villagers. If
you do, consider how you can sew your prompts
together into a series of connected events.

The village is in chaos, things are happening all

around you, the noise is intense, wood splitting,
swords clashing, people screaming... as such
drawing from this encounter table will function
slightly differently:

Your exploration score will dictate how many

draws you have against the encounter table,
but you can choose to draw more than your
exploration score in this specific situation. Your
adrenaline is allowing you to go above and
beyond in a high stakes situation - if you can,
you want to do as much as possible to help. But
equally your scores might be low and you’ll need
to stop in order to survive. At any point you can
pull out of the event and then consult the EVENT
RESULTS TABLE to see how the event concludes
due to your involvement, or lack thereof.

Unlike normal encounter tables you will not draw

all the prompts at once and decide what order to
resolve them in. You will take each prompt one at
a time and resolve it, before moving onto the next
one. Time slows down as you try to process the
chaos and terror going on around you.

For each point of exploration you must draw

2 cards from the encounter table and choose
which one you engage with. This is because so
much is happening around you, you can’t do
everything or save everyone. You could include
the prompt you didn’t choose in your journal as
further background events in all the chaos.

Once you’ve completed as many prompts as

you feel able, consult the EVENT RESULTS TABLE
to see how your involvement has affected the
event. Note: you will need to complete at least 6
prompts to save the Village of Eda.

Bastions are very aggressive and fight much more

the stone resilience of a Rook. As such, Bastions
have a combat score of 3.

Fighting a Bastion operates following the standard

rules laid out in the base rulebook. Winning a
battle against a Bastion affords no rewards.

The Seastone Bastion will usually try and put some

distance between itself and its opponent, in order
to unleash its water magic from afar.

It will attack in a variety of ways, exclusively
