Create Vritra, the Spirit of Thousand Faces (Death 4)
Death thing, a Vritra is a worm-like masse of roting flesh covered with faces. Those faces cry, shout, and lead witnesses to the verge of insanity (if an onlooker lose a Resolve + Composure roll, he can't do anything the next turn except protecting himself). Each face is one of the victim of the monster, a new face appears the scene following the "ingestion".
Practice: Weaving
Action: Instant
Duration: Prolonged (one scene)
Aspect: Vulgar
Cost: The soul of the first (willing) victim
Scelesti Rote: Presence + Persuasion + Death
The Vritra is created from the body and soul of a human, traditionnaly willing to sacrifice himself. Each victim give to the thing another face et 1/2 point of Size, Stamina and Strength (rounding down). Its Dexterity and Speed stay at 1, whatever the size the Vritra reaches. During the first time the Mage has to feed the creature but soon it will be able to feed by itself. A Vritra found under Tokyo had 36 faces. In this shape, it towered meters high.
The Vritra kills by bitting its victims with his mouths. It can allow 8 faces per attacks, so with 36 faces, it could have up to 4 attacks a round. Each faces gives one die for the attack roll (minus Defence, armor, etc). A succes implies the face (or faces) manage to bite and keep the victim. Roll the successes, this time in opposition with the Strength of the victim, each success delivers one damage (Lethal), as the Vritra begins to chew the unfortunate. The next rounds, the victim continue to sustain damages, unless he escapes (See "Grapple" rules). If Vritra manage to ensnare a victim, it will concentrate its attacks on him, trying to ingest the victim the soonest as possible before reaching a new "snack".
