| Dicey Dangers, The Creepy Creature of Vulture's Vineyard | Game by Joel Hills |
You Read Water Like Other People Read Rooms
The Whiterun River runs shallow and quick past the shed's north wall, and you clock its mood before you've even set your gear down, where it's deep enough to matter, where the stones underfoot will turn, which stretch of current is lying about how calm it looks. Landlubber isn't a skill anyone taught you. It's just how you've always read moving water.
Something pale is caught in the reeds a little downstream, worth a look if you trust your footing enough to get to it without going in past your boots.
Make a Reflex(2) check.
Success: You pick your way across without a single wrong step and come back with what the current gave up: a coin purse somebody upstream is never getting back. Gain 25 (rc).
Failure: One stone turns under you and you go in to the knee. Cold, undignified, but nothing worse. No reward, no cost.
