The hero and a friend journey to a destination inside of the hero.
Choices
1. And so they set out on a journey.
Outcome The hero accepts and the adventure begins.
2. "Come on, <Name>. There's good mulled wine at the roastinghouse."
Outcome The hero declines.
Should the opportunity be accepted, the story continues.
1. Disperse the bacteria-things. Like doctors.
Outcome Enter combat with the bacteria. All foes suffer 2 damage to start the mission.
2. "Or--and tell me if this is crazy--but what if we just try talking to the disease?"
Outcome Enter combat with the pig.
Trivia
If option 1 is chosen, the following is added into the hero's history:
History They journeyed into the depths of their own body and destroyed the parasitic entity that was chewing around in there... or. I mean, or it was all a weird encounter with some imagination-bending monster, a manifestation of fantasy that became indistinguishable from reality? But, uhh... I guess that doesn't super matter? Anyway, <Hero> won. And that was good.
If option 2 is chosen, the following is added into the hero's history:
History They journeyed into the depths of their own body, and encountered there a parasitic being. But, being <Hero>, they decided that a parasite might make a close and precious friend. Turns out it does! For the rest of their life, they would talk to their body, and others swore that sometimes they heard their body answer.
The event was Scatter Stand or Still before being retooled.
