Unspeakable Impressions
Level 17HazardAbilities
Trigger A creature crosses over the footprints' trail --- Effect The triggering creature suddenly realizes the nature of the immense trail they just stepped into and feels a compulsion to follow the trail to their destination; the triggering creature must attempt a DC 35 will save with the following results. --- Critical Success The creature Strides once down the trail before coming to their senses—this movement does not put the creature in any peril or danger. Success The creature takes its three actions to Stride down the trail. While this movement doesn't put the creature in any direct peril, when they end the movement, they're overwhelmed with the knowledge that had they gone further, something horrible would have happened; the creature becomes Stupefied 1 for 1 hour by the close call. Failure As success, but the creature becomes Doomed 1 and also stupefied 1 for 24 hours. Critical Failure As failure, but Doomed 2 and Stupefied 2. In addition, at the end of the three Strides, the creature vanishes from view, instantly teleporting to some dangerous area or hidden prison. This might be a nearby location that the creature's allies can discover and rescue them from, or it may be somewhere further away that will require more effort to reach before the victim can be rescued.
Description
A trail of over-sized footprints crosses the path, markings of the apparently recent passage of a dangerous and mind-shattering entity whose stride is enough to be mistaken for depressions in the natural terrain, and promising destruction to those compelled to follow the tracks.
