Invoke Bogeyman "Careful" Momma Ettu warned... "The bogeymen are angry little balls of teeth and eyes... and they get people who deserve it, like they almost got me.."

3
Requires Seasoned
The power to summon a minion which can fight and act on your behalf.
Used by Momma Ettu, Created by Redchigh.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect or for its duration is very likely to be disturbed to see Momma Ettu seems to be on business-like terms with murderous creatures of fear and infanticide. )

Momma Ettu can verbally summon a 'Bogeyman' by verbally implying one is present and a danger, through story or statement like 'There's a bogeyman in these woods' or 'Ive heard bogeyman... " Etc.

Immediately after, a medium dog-sized, indistinguishable ball of teeth (think Stephen King's Langoliers) will appear from somewhere out of sight (behind a tree, or around a corner or something when possible, but directly behind them if no other options are available within 15 feet or so). They follow Ettu's lore given during the summons, although she can always change the story. They will always attempt to approach stealthed, and hunt as a predator would- lunging when the target is distracted, when they're spotted, or when they manage to get close enough to catch the target unaware- where they will promptly lunge at the targets throat or chest area.

Bogeyman are notorious for being able to find you, no matter how far you run. (They can attempt to track people, somehow, despite lack of obvious eyes)

She was inbued and taught to control and invoke existing spirits by her family as a child. She works with bogeymen because not only are they vicious, but every moment they're under her control, is a moment they're not hunting children to eat.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless Someone must be around to hear her imply that bogeymen are here.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend one minute. Select a Dead target within arm's reach that has died within the last hour. This Effect cannot be used unless you drained the target's blood while they were still alive.

Your target rises as an Animate being. The raised creature is totally mindless, with no memory of its past life or hint of its old personality. They cannot communicate. They will follow any command you speak.

The creature lasts until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion. The raised creature must consume flesh every day or it will die again.

Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.

Your revived targets deal 2 Weapon Damage with their unarmed attacks.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • The creature will die at the end of any 24 hour period gone without consuming their specified diet, and it is important that this growing desperation is reflected in how they are roleplayed.

  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
