He wished he had Ronin with him now, but the demigoad hadn't come, all through the Longest Night. Perhaps he had forgotten their deal, or perhaps something had happened to him - something that had worried the bard as the Night had stretched on and no luxere had come pawing at the door. Now it was just him, alone in the dark, as he paced over the snow and towards the Spire that stood, darkness hidden within deeper darkness, across the fields.
But he wasn't alone. No, even here the monsters came prowling, and Jigano narrowed his eyes and held the lantern tighter. He tried moving towards the soul but was not swift enough, and he felt a pang of guilt and sorrow as it was snapped away. Just as Ru'in's soul had been, the year before.
Still he sang, light raised high, defiant. And there was something different about this song, something more resonant and fey than Ludo's gift alone could account for. The next two souls that came close, if they came within fifteen feet, would find themselves buoyed by Sage Inspiration, to give them a second chance at evasion to make it to the lantern.
Sage Inspiration | Can target up to two allies who are within 15ft with a song, giving them either advantage on their next attack or evasion rolls.
