Someone has built a shelter from a church door. Beneath it, a fire waits in a circle of stones. The rain stops at the edge of its light.
You can rest, or gather what little fuel remains. Either way, the fire will be ash when you leave. There is no returning to an unused night.
The road has hardened you. Entering the abbey will raise your blood capacity by one. This is a good place to keep a bookmark.
Choose your way
Sleep beside the fire / restore up to 3 blood; grow stronger
Gather the coals / gain up to 2 flame; grow stronger
What you carry
