Blind men and flaming eyes

Rare Success

Not just blind

[...] The blind men are escorting one of their number [...] down the Hill. From time to time his hair bursts into flames. Occasionally his eyes do the same. He emits a long, inhuman scream that rolls down the Hill and comes to rest at your feet.


Failure

There aren't usually sorrow-spiders around here - tonight there are dozens of them! By the time you untangle yourself from the leggy horrors the procession is gone and all you have are fang marks.
