Rune Discovery : 「 Failure - Parasite Present 」
You don't have to be lonely.
As you walk despondently through the winding trails of your home, the distant waves crashing against the vast rocky cliffs of Storm's Reach, you spy something up ahead. A stoat, dead; it looks elderly, likely having passed from natural causes. You peer closer and find that the body is still warm. It must be lucky indeed that no one has discovered it already, especially given the scarcity of prey since the skies darkened and plunged the world into a deep freeze - it would be remiss to pass up this gift.
You do not realize you are in the presence of another.
Another who could provide you all the companionship you would ever need, and all it will take is one bite...
... How tempting the stoat looks.
Just one bite.

Parasite Event for Sindri
You have several options as a player when confronted with infection should your character fall victim.
You may either
1. Choose to automatically fail in repelling the spores, becoming infected
2. Roll for infection (1d100 - 50 and under fails, 51 and over succeeds in repelling the parasite)
3. Choose to repel them, but suffer a crippling migraine and muscle weakness for two in-game weeks
You may roll on the forum or in discord’s bot channel and play out the progression of the consequences without further Narrator intervention.
Note symptoms do not manifest immediately, may take up to three days to begin, and can progress at different rates for different characters. The Blue Turtlehead flowers cultivated by Dawnbreak, Camhanaich, and Satriya can be used to suppress symptoms.
If you are already infected, this will speed up the progression of your illness.
