[Begin a Session: Unforeseen aid is on the way or within reach] A clue to a lifeform's nature or vulnerabilities
Skysquid? [Ask the Oracle: Yes]
Does the tower hold this information? [Ask the Oracle: Yes]
 
Undertake an Expedition
When you trailblaze a route through perilous space, journey over hazardous terrain, or survey a mysterious site, give the expedition a name and rank. Then, for each segment of the expedition, envision your approach. If you…
 
Keep under the radar: Roll +shadow
[Miss: 4+2+0=6 vs 9 | 8]
Burn Momentum (10)
[Strong Hit: 4 + 2 + 0 = 10 vs 9 | 8]
 
On a strong hit, you reach a waypoint. Envision the location and mark progress per the rank of the expedition.
 
Exploring the Doomspire: 1: Mechanical Feature: 36 machine fabrication or repair
 
Is the technology similar to that of the Great machine? [Ask the oracle: yes]
 
Gather Information
When you search for clues, conduct an investigation, analyze evidence, or do research, roll +wits.
 
[Gearhead: When you make a move to craft, repair, repurpose, or modify equipment or technology, add +1 and take +1 momentum on a hit.]
 
[Weak Hit: 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 vs 10 | 5]
 
On a weak hit, the information provides new insight, but also complicates your quest. Envision what you discover. Then, take +1 momentum. (4)
 
Arrive Survival - The Sky Squid can be summoned and controlled. But the information about the Tower's purpose is out of reach, too dangerous to access directly. 



Secure an Advantage
When you assess a situation, make preparations, or attempt to gain leverage, envision your action and roll. 
 
Create a map
 
If you act…
 
With expertise, focus, or observation: Roll +wits
[Weak Hit: 1 + 3 + 0 = 4 vs 2 | 8]
 
On a hit, you succeed. On a strong hit, take both.
 
Take +2 momentum (6)
Add +1 on your next move (not a progress move)
 
Undertake an Expedition
When you trailblaze a route through perilous space, journey over hazardous terrain, or survey a mysterious site, give the expedition a name and rank. Then, for each segment of the expedition, envision your approach. If you…
 
Stay vigilant: Roll +wits
[Weak Hit: 4 + 3 + 1 = 8 vs 10 | 6]
 
On a strong hit, you reach a waypoint. Envision the location and mark progress per the rank of the expedition.
 
On a weak hit, as above, but this progress costs you. Choose one.
 
Suffer costs en route: Make a suffer move (-2), or two suffer moves (-1).
Face a peril at the waypoint: Envision what you encounter. *
 
Exploring the Doomspire: 1: Mechanical Feature: 80: Mechanical environment in motion or transforming
Trouble in the Doomspire: 1: [Pay the Price: An individual or community you care about is exposed to danger]
Cadmus? [Ask the Oracle: No] Barbican is being transformed also
 
Companion Takes a Hit
When your companion faces physical hardship, they suffer -1 health for minor harm, -2 for serious harm, or -3 for major harm. If your companion's health is 0, Lose Momentum equal to any remaining harm.
 
Then, if their health is 0 or you choose to test their resilience, roll +your companion's health.
 
[Weak Hit: 5 + 3 + 0 = 8 vs 10 | 1]
 
On a weak hit, if your companion's health is not 0, you may Lose Momentum (-1) and give them +1 health. Otherwise, they press on. (Momentum 5, Barbican health 4/5)
 
Face Danger
When you attempt something risky or react to an imminent threat, envision your action and roll. If you act…
 
With expertise, focus, or observation: Roll +wits
Gearhead: When you make a move to craft, repair, repurpose, or modify equipment or technology, add +1 and take +1 momentum on a hit.
 
[Weak Hit: 1 + 3 + 1 = 5 vs 1 | 9]
 
On a weak hit, you succeed, but not without a cost. Make a suffer move (-1).
 
Endure Stress
When you face mental strain, shock, or despair, suffer -1 spirit for minor stress, -2 for serious stress, or -3 for major stress. If your spirit is 0, Lose Momentum equal to any remaining stress.
 
Then, if your spirit is 0 or you choose to resist the stress, roll +spirit or +heart, whichever is higher.
 
[Weak Hit: 4 + 3 + 0 = 7 vs 7 | 6] 
 
On a weak hit, if you are not shaken, you may Lose Momentum (-1) in exchange for +1 spirit. Otherwise, press on.
 
(Spirit 3)
 
Barbican becomes a gestalt entity, part Mina’s magical construct, part repository of a fragment of the Doomspire’s intellect. 
 
Is Doomspire-Barbican hostile? [Ask the Oracle: Yes]
