>>5646796>>5646798>1 for Sir Chase; he dies>9 for Hargrat Deepevin; he dies, too>4 for you>+2 for the Sun-Eater’s blessing>6-to-10: you land in the harbour, and must roll not to drown in the seaYou and your falling foes crash into the edge of a building—something hollow and metallic, by the sound of the thump—and are scattered by the impact. You hardly even feel the pain, so numbed by your bloodloss and some calmed by your meditations. You are vaguely aware of the sight of two crumpled, battered figures rebounding off of the wall like ragdolls and tumbling to the ground below, twisted and contorted in ways no living man can be.
Ah. So your victory is total. Good.
You skid along the roof, not so luckless as they but utterly unable to control your flight-path. You bounce and tumble from the roof and continue along the trajectory which the falling gryphon’s momentum has given you. You belatedly recognize the symbol on the side of the building which thus cushioned your blow: that of the… Engelmann, was it?

>Aquaphobia: reduced effectiveness in all water-related rollsFor the fourth time in your life, you are swallowed up by water, sinking down into the depths of the so-called font of all life. And such a watery grave you now fall towards—falling, still falling, more slowly and yet ever falling! The sea is deep in the bay, which is of course useful for such a port as this. If you are swept out into the ocean proper-that unfathomably-vast blueness, now turning blank, impenetrable even to your dark-vision in all its fetid murk—how long will you fall? Will your bones, your very soul, tumble forever in this oppressive stifling pressure and resistance, sodden and heavy, until the reach a place so deep even Dark Gods cannot find you there?
