Description
The impossibly tall, asymmetric, anemically thin, antler-shaped red steel multi-tower casts ominous shadows before you. Interfacing with the help of any comm, touch the spire with your Blood (no HEA cost) or with a good amount of literal blood (burn d4 HEA), make a dREA check, difficulty 7, and burn 12 GRT. If you succeed at your REA, you tack the spire to your liking and may walk through it to your destination stiffworks. If you fail, d8 guardian androids (COM d10, MOV d10, 20 HEA, masers dealing 2d20 damage) emerge from within the extradimensional space within the spire to attack you. Everyone who passes through the spire suffers invasive nanite-facilitated “surgery” that deals 2d6 HEA damage and leaves behind permanent, awesome, glyph-like scars. Upon exiting, each traveler must make a WIL check or gain a permanent phobia of all non-code-stratum Tephnian archaetech, including stiffworks.
