Event: Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

[doubledh]

You come across a snow-covered courtyard where there lies a great White Siberian Husky, currently napping with its fangs clenched around a Sword of the Sun. Do you try to pry the sword from its jaws?

Random pass/fail Pass: acquire Sword of the Sun: Neutral >avg dmg + removes buff Fail: acquire Sword but enter combat

Combat: Sun Dog:

• Snow Cloak (or Snow Dive): gains evade and enough regen for it to stack on random avg (probably 3-4 stacks)
• Brilliant Glare: applies random stagger to each adventurer (hopefully stunning at least 1)
• Frost Bite: Deals blast damage and gains minor Power Up Reward: extra artifact like some chewbone?

risk/reward/needs evaluation, and also you can get immediate mileage on your new Sword of the Sun

could alternatively give "Snow Cloak" move absorption against the Sword of the Sun instead of evade, and/or change the Sword's element to light

We should probably also offer a different option, perhaps with a different risk, so that it's not a dead room if the party can't/doesn't want to fight.

If you want to have Snow Cloak counter the Sword of the Sun, I think we should add another move or two, 1/3 is a little too frequent for that kind of disruption. Maybe another type of damage dealing move, since it's only 1/3 to deal damage at the moment.

Will the Sword of the Sun remove a random buff? If not, how to make it predictable to players which buff will be removed?
