Tarot memory share [Bugbear]

[guillotineroom]

The room you enter this time is an ostentatious fortune tellers tent. Colourful silks drape the walls with intricate golden constellations embroidered on the ceiling. Various crystals, candles, magic 8 balls, and other superstitious sundries are scattered throughout the tent.

In the centre of the room is a table with ten chairs around it, and three cards laid out for you:

MAGICIAN, HANGED MAN, TOWER

[ RULES | TURN-IN ]

Well, some magic fire works that way. Misella's burns stuff like normal. Mine's more like... a manifestation of destructive power, or somethin'.

[ALARMING!]

...Okay, lightning bolts are also still destructive power, so that can still fit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Then I can do one o' those.

[it's weird that that's actually kind of familiar; he makes a slight face at the sea of black flames as the memory plays out]

Has anyone ever described themselves as a humble traveling sorceress without lying through their teeth?

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Pretty sure she's the only one I've heard say it. Ya hear that kinda thing a lot?

Re: DISCUSSION

[uncursed_knowledge]

In stories, mostly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

How do the stories go? I still don't exactly know much about her.

Re: DISCUSSION

[uncursed_knowledge]

It depends on where you're from, but most of them share a few things in common. Someone like her would be more than she seems, bringing aid or danger or both. In Raktia she'd be there to trick you into the forest where she could eat you; in Dulimbai she'd be a revered ancestor returned secretly to give you aid. I doubt it's really either of those, of course, but I'd still be surprised if she wasn't lying.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stirtheblood]

Yeah, nah, she was definitely lyin'. She kinda seems to know more 'bout my power than I do, somehow... She's the one who set up some kinda magic barrier 'round the Nation of Sin that made it invisible to everyone, includin' enforcers... And she actually saved Aegis's parents that way too. Happened to catch 'em bein' run outta down while she was followin' us around.

[nods]

She sounds like quite a bit more than a "humble sorceress".
