One member of the party gets a nasty splinter.

Choices

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

Outcome One of the party removes the splinter and the ensuing battle begins with Courage (all party members gain +2 damage/potency for 3 turns). 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.

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

Outcome The splinter remains inside the hero and the hero gets Elmsoul. The ensuing battle begins with Haste (all party members have +1 speed for the duration of combat).

Trivia

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