Autumn 2 - All a’bluster

Posted by Brian Tyrrell on

A loud bang against the side of your clinic is accompanied by an“Oof!” Your familiar robin noonmessenger is dusting themselves off as you hurry out to see what the clamour was about. “It’s nothing boss, just an unexpected gust of wind! I’ve had worse knocks getting out of the jaws of wolves, let me tell you.” 

Travel Encounter: All a’bluster

Above and around you the air heaves with fast winds. Browning leaves are torn from their branches, and winked beasts cavort through the air, recklessly pushed towards their different destinations.

Ruffled Fur. If you walk on the ground, your fur and clothes are blown this way and that, and your packs catch the wind and spin your about. How do you feel about all of this seasonal chaos? Has anything blown out of your packs, and were you able to catch them before they flew away?

Wind Under Wing. If you flit and flap through the air, this unexpectedly powerful bluster pushes your further than expected. End your movement one path beyond where you expected to stop. Has this wind helped or hindered you? Are you used to autumn blusters, or is this a new sensation for you?

 

Apologies for the late update; I’ve been moving house! Check back next week for more autumn expansion content.
