Avalanche Skill

Avalanche Skill A Larger Following [Unnamed] gains Avalanche and imagines a hero with followers. Other stones can now participate in its journey. Collective Momentum The skill changes movement from individual action into mass action. The protagonist’s identity expands from rolling stone to leader of a physical congregation.

Gravel Congregation

Gravel Congregation First Followers A field of gravel joins the moving stone. The congregation is crude but immediately increases the avalanche’s presence. Motion as Recruitment Every new rock is gathered by passing momentum. The group grows because movement itself becomes persuasive.

Forest Gathering

Forest Gathering Broken Standing Stones [Unnamed] shatters larger stones and absorbs their fragments into the procession. Individual solidity becomes collective mass. Rising Rumble Animals flee before the avalanche arrives. The city has not yet seen the threat, but the landscape already announces it.

Barrier Breach

Barrier Breach Mana Defense A hidden shack powers a defensive wall. [Unnamed] senses the source and targets the infrastructure rather than the citizens. The Shield Falls Diamond Skin and Collision break the Greater Mana Shield. The avalanche gains bricks and debris as it enters the city’s outskirts.

Congregation Abandoned

Congregation Abandoned Bloodied Advance The gathered stones crush civilians and defenders while [Unnamed] continues toward altitude zero. The leader’s single-mindedness separates the quest from the suffering left behind. An Incomplete Victory The avalanche wins access but cannot complete the descent. Its collective power cannot protect the protagonist from a single reversal spell.
