Spirit's Willpower Roll

  • Trait Level: Willpower 4 = 4 dice
  • Difficulty: 9
  • Dice Roll Results: 10, 8, 7, 3
  • Successes: 1

Outcome

The spirit fails to resist the compulsion with only 1 success. Forced by Raziel's power, the spirit begins to speak:

Raziel: "Tell me where the treasure is hidden."
Pirate Spirit: "The treasure lies beneath the old oak, deep in the forest… beware the guardian that watches over it."

Raziel's use of the 'Speak with the Dead' power compelled the spirit to reveal the crucial information he sought. The effect of the evocation will persist for a number of turns equal to Raziel's Faith score.
