If the die roll is less than your Craft, or if you Pay 1 Gold, gain a moon maiden. A moon maiden is an Ally. If you have the moon maiden at the start of a turn on a page with the word 'Moon' in it's name, you may choose to lose the moon maiden. If so, your turn ends and your next turn will begin on The Astral Path; Proceed to that page.

12 = The rare and powerful dragon of the moon breathes moondust instead of fire. Fight a Melee Combat with a moon dragon. The moon dragon's attributes are Arms: 7, Magic: 5, Craft: 3, Vitae: 5. At the start of any Combat with the moon dragon, if it is the first Combat the moon dragon has been in this turn, roll two dice. If the die roll is greater than the total of your Magic plus your Vitae, you receive a number of Wounds equal to the die roll minus the total of your Magic plus your Vitae. If the moon dragon has fallen due to Combat with you, gain moonduster. Moonduster is a Spell. You may use moonduster at the start of any Combat. When used, roll two dice.
