Opportunity

One of the heroes is troubled by dreams of a blue flame. And following a dream is a kind of last resort for those who can't go back to sleep.

Choices

1. Have you thought of just drinking warm tea? No? Fine, I guess I'm in.

1.1 My first responsibility is my friends... I can't let them down.

Outcome Turn down the offer. Battle gorgons. Afterwards, gain a piece of equipment and the following line is added to the hero's history:

Growing increasingly troubled by his dreams, he fixed upon one that seemed to offer a destination. And so he crossed wilderness, came to a cottage where a dreaming sage lived. The sage's generosity eased his mind, and he was able to sleep again, undisturbed.

1.2 Lose <Hero>, thwart many future incursions.

Outcome Battle Gorgons. Afterwards, the hero permanently stays with the Seer. Any future incursions have a 50% chance of being cancelled, and the following will pop up:

The Woodland Seer has thwarted this incursion.

2. Trouble sleeping? Have you tried mulemoss? I've got some here, so... No need for a journey.

Outcome Decline the opportunity.
