One member of the party gets a splinter. The other heroes are not very sympathetic.

1. "No! Get this thing out of me, it hurts!"

Outcome

One of the party removes the splinter, and the relationship between the two deepens. All heroes start the next encounter with +2 damage/potency.

2. "You're right. It's just a splinter. Come on."

Outcome

The splinter remains inside the hero. Hero gets Elmsoul. All heroes start the next encounter with +1 speed.

If the splinter is successfully removed, the following is added to the Hero's history:

For a while, <Hero> carried a long, blood-heavy splinter, pulled from their own body. It knocked around in a little leather pouch at their belt.

If the splinter is removed and the hero subsequently faces a mortal choice, the event The Jealousy of Trees will instead occur.
