Speaking of toxic miasma... :) (work on the Breathless hack continues!)

A page spread from Requiem for the Wretched Dead, depicting the Miasma.

Text reads: The ubiquitous toxic void-smoke of the deathlands—all that remains of the howling death throes of the souls consumed by the arcane cataclysm that broke the world.
Deathlanders must remain alert to its malevolent presence, relying on portable lightning barrriers or emergency plasm-flares for defense when it strikes.

Threats (bullet list):
At a distance:
1. Obscures vision, dampens hearing. You fail to notice what’s happening or lose track of where you are.
2. Senses you. Moves to nearby.

Nearby:
1. Fouls gear, erodes materials. An item is badly damaged—mark 1 usage.
2. Closes in. Moves to close contact.

In close contact:
1. Fully envelops you. Mark 1 usage on all your items and suffer Harm. If you can’t escape it, face the next threat.
2. Finds a gap in your mask or exposure suit. You start choking uncontrollably as it gets into your mouth and nose. Suffer Harm. If you can’t escape it or get immediate aid, suffer Harm again and face the next threat.
3. Fills your lungs, snakes into your ears and eyes. You succumb fully to the miasma and perish. See Wretch on page xx.

I swear we're all normal about Louis (@tjspider.bsky.social ) - Glaiza

The Kevin Hart Meme where a woman carries Kevin Hart while threatening the other woman to leave Kevin alone.

In the place of the woman being threatened we have Christopher (A pallid white man looking vaguely dismissive, with his arms crossed, dressed in a black shirt and white tie), while the man being carried is replaced by Louis (A pensive man with disheveled hair, wearing glasses, his index finger resting on his bearded chin) The rest of the garou, Tam (a white nonbinary person with thin, angular features, pink and green hair, wearing a red flannel under a leather jacket, looking sternly), Himig (A South East Asian woman with purple hair, wearing glasses, a red dress, a choker and a pendant, smiling) and Dru (a woman with red hair, tipping her cowboy hat, wearing a pink flannel and low cut white top underneath, as well as a heart locket. Drusilla's face is heavily scarred by what appear to be claw marks) are protecting Louis.
