"Rest your body brethren. This hollowed ground is filled with Makabu's mercy. They will protect and provide so long as you remain an ally." 

~Brother Jacob- Evangelist of the gospel of UNITY~

 

Delving deeper into the tunnels, the air becomes thick with the smell of animals. The party rounds a corner and discovers a small underground lake. Crystals hanging from the ceiling emit a soft white glow, lighting the area, and underwater creatures shine with bioluminescence, leaving traces of light within the water. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as they set their equipment down for a quick rest. The Oratho Petra places her cupped hands in the water and brings them towards her face when she notices shadows moving on the ceiling. She looks up and sees several creatures crawling on the ceiling towards the lake's entrance. By the time Petra could warn the others, it was too late, and the creatures blocked their only exit. They were slowly advancing on the party, exhausted and caught off guard. Suddenly, a butterfly flutters from behind the weasel-like creatures. A carpet of grass and flowers erupt from the ground, massive thorny vines wrapped around the creatures. The area becomes filled with bright butterflies as the party sees a person in tattered yellow robes hobble from behind the bound creatures. The glow of a butterfly reveals its dark blue feathers and sharp, hooked beak. It approaches Petra and says, "Please rest your body brethren. This hollowed ground is filled with Makabu's mercy. They will protect and provide so long as you remain an ally."


Blessing of Makabu: Makabu’s essence envelops you and your companions. The player casts their spell, and the ground is covered in flowers and grass. Anyone two spaces around the player gains +5 to Toughness and +3 to Movement. Large thorny vines wrap around the opponents within those spaces. They’re Grappled and Poisoned for three rounds. The buff lasts three rounds. (Agrias’ Shield + Focus Chi)


Blessing of Makabu is a Fusion Ability. That's when the player combines two abilities into one powerful one. However, only specific abilities are compatible with others. The player must have the two abilities needed to perform a Fusion Ability. When used, both abilities will be on cooldown. There are 46 different Fusion Abilities, ranging from massive damage to incredible game-breaking buffs. Fusion Abilities can be a game-changer in battles; use them as often as possible.


It has been a whirlwind of progress! The third book is being edited as we speak. The first book is approaching its final form! The artists are kicking some serious butt, and the fourth book is on its way. Shout out to Spencer, the creator of this fantastic illustration above. Check out their work on Instagram @spencil_studios. It's going to be Demo time soon! Shoot me a message or email if you want to play a quick campaign! I can run this perfectly on Roll20.net. Also, I would love to do live some demos if you are interested email me and we can get it started. Thank you again for being a part of this journey. I could not have made it this far without your support. If you have questions or want to say hi, please email me on the Backpack Universe games website. I love you like a warm hoodie on a rainy day.

 

 

Take care
