You have defeated the Mage Idi but are weakened much by the combat. You can only assume what happened to the town; the Bull Men have been and gone... and not even the Mage Idi could avoid their violence. You thank the gods that your village is in the high plains.
Subtract:
-2 Stamina.
You bask in a new found knowledge; you have defeated a Mage, a great Mage (albeit a dead one). A power surges through you.
However, you realise what this means - your task is now a failure. Reluctantly you search the Mage’s house and find an old, rustic amulet. You feel an energy surrounding it as you hover your hand over the tarnished bronze.
From the corner of our eye, the Mage’s body lays broken on the floor. It saddens you; such a powerful mage with secrets you will never learn.
In the back of your mind, a tale comes is remembered. The True One talked of dangerous, powerful, forbidden magic - the kind that turns one away from true illumination. All forbidden magic required human sacrifice and a disintegration of the human soul.
You go ahead and
Pick up the amulet and walk away from the house. Those who dabble in the forbidden arts have forsaken their soul.
Prepare to take the Mage's eyeball.
