STONETOP COMPANION

A cracked flute

Minor arcanum #31

crudemagical

A long, thick flute carved of redwood, with a thin but visible crack along the underside. It easily catches the wind and makes a piping sound. Anyone who plays a few notes on the flute can tell there’s some magic here.

When you spend a few days practicing, playing the flute where the wind can hear you, roll +CHA: on a 10+, mark 1 circle; on a 7-9, mark 1 circle, but you summon an irate zephyr spirit; on a 6-, you make no progress but do manage to summon an irate zephyr.

When you mark all three circles, you unlock the mysteries of the flute.

The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.

Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
