When you try to catch the thieves, on a 7-9 choose one.

You call on the lore of your mountain country people, who hunt to live. It was not safe to take to the skies, except in the dark of the moon, so your people were hunters of the forests as well.

You conjure a web of spider-strands touching the ripening apples, pears, and peaches in the orchard, and pull them into the little stone shed. With effort, you work them through Firetail's wards.

Within the shed, you drowse, one hand upon the webs, using them to guard the trees without having to stare like a gargoyle, like a watchman.

The golden light of the garden fades toward evening. You sup on the provisions that Housemaster Firetail left for you -- sweet, fluffy bread, mild soft cheese, briny almonds and chewy figs. Again you doze.

In full dark, Sapienta tenses her coiled body around your wrist, waking you. The spider-strands are tickling your fingers. Something is in the trees.

You rise, Sapienta wrapped round your forearm, and look out at the orchard. There's a mist obscuring the tops of the trees. The spider-strands indicate something is happening to the ripe fruits on the far end.

⚄⚁ + 1 = 8

On a 7-9, you may ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL. Cross it off and choose one:

• You do a rushed, mediocre, or sloppy job. Describe the plot consequences.
• You give up your goal to help someone else. Gain a FAVOR from them and roll to GET OUT OF TROUBLE.
• Through your action, someone else doesn't get what they want. Treat as a 10+, but gain an ENEMY.
• Your success is shared by someone who feels proprietary about their contribution. Treat as a 10+, but gain a HANGER-ON.
• You needed help. Treat as a 10+, but expend a FAVOR or owe your helper a FAVOR (a new GOAL).
• You overextended yourself, got hurt, or got embarrassed. Treat as a 10+, but take a CONSEQUENCE.

Choose a course of action and describe a result for complicated or partial success attempting to ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL based upon the options above.
