| A short distance away, Hugh Marsh finds himself spacing out. He gets a hold of himself, and reminds himself of what he's doing. Yes, that's right, he's Captain Hugh Marsh, a Wayfinder from Margush, who has spent most of his life trying to fill the empty void that he's felt within him. Hugh Marsh, born with a strange birthmark that gave him crimson red skin across most of his body. Hugh Marsh, member of the Wayfinder's Guild of Acryn. Hugh Marsh, whose group was mostly wiped out by an Anomaly, who only survived when he called upon reserves of strength he didn't even know he had in desperation, and in doing so caught the attention of the Abnegator, the Anomaly who promised to help him find his purpose, what makes him really him, and fill that void within him. Hugh Marsh remembers that he is travelling with the Abnegator and one of his companions, the Rider. Apparently some bard, a foe from the Abnegator's past, has been in this area, and they've been investigating. | A short distance away, Hugh Marsh finds himself spacing out.

| The party head into the back of the facility and find three beings contained there. The Monster Prince is in one cell, but in others are the Changeling of Weftwell and a young man calling himself Dirk Nightblade. The others attempt to persuade the party to free them, and some of them consider it, but ultimately opt to only do the job they set out to do, not knowing how dangerous the others could be. Darius attempts to free Dirk, passing him the location of the Evil Eye, in the hopes that he'll come and visit. Jemiker's suspicions are raised, and she attempts to keep him locked in, though isn't willing to enter the cell to check on the restraints on him.

In its larger, fuzzier variant, a noticeable imprint is left upon the world for a period after the new reality fades, leaving various glitches in reality for a time. For the encounter after the use of this skill in either form, you hear the will of Carleon whispering in your ear. |

| + | |||
| + | ==== Dissolution of the Gleam ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Through Consumption you have gained something of the properties of the acidic gelatinous creatures known as Gleam. This alters your use of the spell "Dissolution of the Form" in the following ways: | ||
| + | * Your transformation is somewhat more Gleam-like than it was | ||
| + | * Whilst in this form you take all damage as SINGLE | ||
| + | * Per casting, you gain one use of SHATTER against a weapon that strikes you whilst in this form | ||
| + | * Whilst in this form, you occasionally uncontrollably say "Gleam!" | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Certain Identity ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You have been severed from the identities and wills of the Splintered Man, and are no longer subject to his influence. The has the following effects: | ||
| + | * You are not affected by the Divine Aura of the Splintered Man. If another member of the party has the aura, you are not affected by the damage or effects inflicted as a result of it, but equally you bleed and die as normal. Whether you are up or not has no effect on whether the others in the party subject to the aura live or die. | ||
| + | * You are not affected by the miracle Identity Theft. You should brief this detail at the start of the adventure. | ||
| + | * You are not affected by the miracle Belief Enhancement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you attempt to //use// the miracles of the Splintered Man, you feel the sensation of your brain being wrenched and pulled out of your head via your eye sockets. For any encounter in which you have used a miracle of the Splintered Man, pick one of the targets of the miracles used. You permanently gain one of the beliefs that that target had, chosen at GM discretion. These beliefs may be contradictory. | ||
