Complexity 2, Level +2 Challenge (DCs 12, 17, 25 and vs NAD 21, vs AC 23)2 Secondary Skill, all DCs Easy0 Successes (1 Hard DC Available)/0 Failures/2 Secondary Skills AvailableAlright, take a Short Rest, vignette Qamra recovering from her hardship, and let's do this.[HR][/HR]The smoking beshadowed blade spilled from the hands of the fell priest Ezcoatl, eerily soundless and the freezing, necrotic mist flits about its hilt and edge.  The phantom's hand curls like a spider's death throes and slowly disappears.  The blade's lack of substance increases with each passing moment.  In short order it will be gone from this world, returning only when the curse manifests again, dragging with it the misery and horror of those eternally chained to it.Even from a few paces away, you can feel the terrible power of the thing; straight from some terrible dark depth of this world or the very Abyss itself.  The curse within you seems to call to it...and it call to your curse.  It begs for your touch...daring you to grasp it.  Despite its foul will, you know there is no other way to lift the curse of this place and free these poor souls forever...[HR][/HR]HARD DCHow do you deal with the terrible necrotic freeze of the beshadowed blade?  You have to handle it to render it corporeal for the consecration ritual.</blockquote>
