Piping of the Veil

Dicey Dangers, Core Rule

Game by Joel Hills

Piping of the Veil

The Pipes played softly create a peculiar effect, not silence exactly but a kind of blurring. The wandering things of a dungeon have ears, and ears can be confused. Piping of the Veil doesn't hide the Hero so much as make them easy to dismiss. The patrol passes. The sound doesn't quite resolve. Nothing happens.
