>>6116932You soon discover that, adventure or not, a hunt without quarry is just a walk in the woods. Worse, a SILENT walk in the woods, during which you cannot even sate your curiosity or appease your <WANT> in any way…
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i"> Current <WANT>: 11</span>
If something triggers your <WANT>, such as especially heightened emotional situation, especially something that provokes lust, wrath, or envy, CZ will need to roll Occultism. On a failure, she will go berserk with the urgent need to sate that <WANT>. You may temporarily lose control of her actions.
