On a strong hit, you are cast back into the mortal world.
On a weak hit, choose one.
- You die, but not before making a noble sacrifice. Envision your final moments.
- There is more to be done. Envision what is revealed or asked of you at death's door, and Swear an Iron Vow to complete an extreme quest. You return to the mortal world and must mark doomed. When you complete the deathbound quest, clear the impact.
On a miss, you are dead.
