SKIN LIGHT
Anomaly
Multicolored bubble, lit from an unseen light. On close inspection, they are made of transparent, softly ‘breathing’ skin. Reproduce via a grisly process. Appear to lack sapience.
EXECUTION:
1 (solo), 3 (small group), 8 (cluster)
STRESS INFLICTED:
(1) 3 stress and Fuse Hook, (2/3): 3 stress, (4+): 2 stress.
BEHAVIOR:
Appears only at night. Floats in place. Attracted to the heat generated by living beings and attempts to fuse with them.
SPECIAL:
-
Fuse - As a threat or on a ‘1’ reaction roll the Skin Light can fuse to an executioner with exposed skin. This kills the drifter but gives the Executioner the Fused hook.
-
Fused (0/3)
The executioner’s skin bubbles and blisters and radiates colors. It becomes painful to hold tools (-1D to use tools or weapons while you have the hook). If the hook fills up completely, the executioner takes 2d6 stress as a large section of their skin rips away and forms a new Skin Light, permanently scarring then.
