Cost: 100 Credits, 10 Royal Stamps
Weight: 0.5 Load
Celerity: Throwing a Helmberg’s Fire Vial takes 2 Action Slots or 2 Reserved Slots.
Range (Throw): 10 Tiles
Target: A successful (v:20) Accuracy Check against a Target’s Evasion. If targeting a Tile or inanimate object, the Check is equal to the number of Tiles thrown. Missing the target still sets a nearby Tile or Object on fire, at the judgement of the Story Guide. When a Victim moves across a Tile engulfed by Helmberg’s Fire, they take Fire Damage equal to the last Ongoing Damage total, and continue taking the Ongoing Damage fur the remaining Duration.
Description: Helmberg’s Fire is extremely sticky and is nearly impossible to wipe off. It will continue to burn if submerged in water. The dense liquid immediately catches fire when in contact with air. It burns with increasing intensity for the next 3 re:Cycles, then as it burns out on the 4th re:Cycle, it deals reduced damage. Combustibles that come into contact with Helmberg’s Fire explode, and Flammables catch fire.
