Ulfrid, Hooks and Blades

True to their title, every movement sends fleets of hooks and blades set on delicate chains flying. This orchestra of metal is accompanied by a river of sparks. They attempt to drift far above their targets, at the edge of missile range, reaching down with hooks like a jellyfish, ensnaring their share and whisking them up, up, and away.

Attacks: Makes no attacks, but wields Powers every other round.

Special: The area below them is saturated with trailing hooks and blades set on chains. For each round exposed, all characters must make a DR8 Defence roll. Those failing are Hooked. When Hooked three times, they are dragged up and away—it takes d6 rounds to reach the Dry-Witch. The Dry-Witch then attempts to paralyse them with a poisoned blade—test Toughness DR14 to resist. Those resisting are free to make attacks.

A character may forgo their action to test Strength DR12 to free themselves of up to two Hooks—even whilst being dragged upwards, although there is a risk of fall damage—or worse, landing in the Sea...

Signature Power: Proliferation of the Binding Chains—Any Hooked character doubles the amount of Hooks they have currently. All characters then make a DR12 Defence roll to avoid an additional Hooking.
