Chapter 19

How do you convince Nan to talk with you?
Cast CHARM: Roll Cunning (+1)
Susan's magical "cats' eyes" spell is a great advantage as you peer across House Beavertail's cellars. A Charm spell ought to do the trick for making Nan willing to talk before she does anything drastic to Susan. You catch a gleam of red hair round the side of a pillar, point your wand, and cast CHARM.
⚅⚀ + 1 = 8.
When you CAST A SPELL, on a 7-9, choose one.
- The spell is deflected or pre-empted by your opponent. Have a MAGIC DUEL.
- Fumble-success: The spell takes effect and backfires (as below): Stunned for a turn or drop your wand (either of these gives Nan initiative), damage something or injure a bystander, or perhaps the spell takes effect on you instead or as well.
- Success by main ****: The spell takes effect, but you take a Consequence or faint.
You have 1 XP, no FRIEND, no FAVOR, nor any CONSEQUENCE.
You are in female form.
Susan's "OCULUS FELINUM" spell helps you see in the dark.
