(YBA) Lovecraft in the Cathayan Tombs

[Ciaran]

You find yourself in another small round room, with a sarcophagus on a low dais at its center.

 

[Yellow Sign]

"I wonder whats going to jump up and try and kill me this time?" says Lovecraft under his breath. He is going to move over to the sarcophagus and attempt to open it.

 

[Ciaran]

You lever the sarcophagus open. Another mummy lies within. Dry woody shoots, festooned with shriveled leaves, emerge from its wrappings in many places. As you predicted, the mummy rises up and reaches towards you.

Oak Mummy
CR 2
Hits: 3
Undead
Student of the Oak
Jade Oak Ring (+1 to Oak and Jade moves)

Oak Mummy attacks you: The hammer annihilates the fountain; dodges the descent of the isle!

 

[Yellow Sign]

Lovecraft kicks at the mummy, trying to knock it down.

The mantis parts the swamp; guards against the beauty of the isle!

 

[Ciaran]

Your kick skitters off the thing’s chest with a hollow thump. Pushing closer, it smashes you with a hammer blow from its fists. Your vision grows dim as it strikes you again and again, and blood sprays forth as your scalp tears open under the assault. Sickeningly, the thing’s woody stems lodge themselves in the wound. Pain shoots through you as you watch the stems darken, and the shriveled leaves grow dark and young and alive with blood.

You take 1 hit. The mummy attacks you again...

Oak Mummy attacks you: The wolf sweeps with the glacier; wards off the foray of the wood!

 

[Yellow Sign]

Revolted by the sight of the growing shoots in his skin. Lovecraft redoubles his attack with a powerful roundhouse kick to the Oak Mummy's head.

The blizzard wracks the paradise; wards off the beauty of the flame!

 

[Ciaran]

The shoots tear painfully free as your second kick sends the thing sprawling, inflicting 1 hit. It rolls to its feet. The thing’s leaves rustle in a nonexistent wind as it waits for your next move.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Lovecraft lowers his shoulder and bull rushes the undead thing. Hoping to bash it against the wall.


The blizzard unrelentingly bashes the swamp; averts the chi of the holy ground!

 

[Ciaran]

Oak Mummy attacks you: The manticore strikes through the dungeon; defends against the descent of the storm!

You slam the mummy against the wall, forcing it onto the defensive. Stubborn as oak, it fends you off for quite some time, but eventually your relentless attacks leave their marks, snapping woody shoots and bones alike. Your attacks inflict another 1 hit.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Lovecraft grabs the mummy's head and attempts to rip it off!

The mantis breaks the orchard; blocks the chi of the mountain!
