The Ehnita Onekwenhsa Pact
by Andy Katz As is known to all, living things with red blood in their veins only come to be on worlds with a Moon, and that those beings with the sacred power to Bear offspring are bound deeply to this life-giving force. In exchange for a few children over a lifetime, the bodies of the Bearers offer to the Moon their life-blood each moon-cycle. What is known only to a few, is the way that one may invoke the terrible power of the Pact, and exchange all one's future children to summon and bind a Child of the Moon. When you sit upon the Altar and offer your womb to the full Moon according to the occult customs of your people, a torrent of blood pours forth from the Altar's cleft, and out of the blood-soaked ground is born a Child of the Moon. The GM will describe its otherworldly appearance. Roll+CON. On a 10+: Choose two. On a 7-9: Choose one, and reduce your Constitution by 1 permanently.
The Blood Pond
by Judd Karlman When you step into the Blood Pond while holding a symbol of life and a symbol of death, the symbol of life becomes a living construct and asks you permission to wield the symbol of death. If you hand the symbol to it, it will come to life, roll +X, where X is every time you have visited the Black Gate and returned and/or how many times you have given birth. If you do not hand the construct the symbol of death, it will shriek hateful noises and words at you, dissolving into the Blood Pond. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. On a miss, the construct will attempt to kill you and hold your heart and skull as symbols of life and death in order to begin creating its own army of constructs. Holds:

The Goddess of Blood & Cruel Fate
by Jim Morrison When vengeance pulses in you veins, travel west on the night of the blood moon until you reach the miserable stump of the Tree of Eternal Perfection. There, drink of blood drawn from your enemy or from a suitable proxy, eat an unhealthy portion of the wild red-rooted wormwood, and go to sleep beside the stump, all while clutching a drawn blade. Roll +bonds.* On a hit, you dream a vision of the Goddess of Blood and Cruel Fate, who weaves the destinies of men in crimson. On 10+, the Goddess asks you when and where you will meet your enemy. The words you speak will come true, though it will appear to be the doing of mortal hands. When you wake, you expel the blood drunk as a black mass. On 7-9, the Goddess asks what advantage will attain when next you meet your enemy. Impress her in your answer with cleverness or flattery, for the Goddess is fickle and may give the advantage you name to your enemy instead. When you wake, you expel the blood drunk, and much more, as liquid. On 6-, you suffer terrible seizures. The MC makes a hard move. * If you are not playing with bonds, or with the MC’s permission, determine your bonus as follows: name an interesting personal detail about the other character that your character could have learned in the fiction, but which has not explicitly come up during play. The MC may ask follow-ups, such as how you know this, or why it is important to you. If the MC substantially accepts your addition to the fiction, gain +1 to the roll. Repeat as the MC permits (the MC will judge the strength of the relationship and the relevance of the details to the current task). Max +3. |
