a sunken stone edifice decorated with animal bones, [Map Room #18], Lich# 26874, go stone edifice

Wild Instinct

[Wild Instinct -]
With much of the exterior structure partially buried in the ground, the cracked stone walls of this edifice are covered in a mixture of clinging dampness and dirt that stain them a murky brown. Guttering candles, their flames a livid green, are scattered around a cracked stone altar and the armor stand next to it, the eerie light glinting off the items arrayed on top of them. The air is stuffy and still, the accumulated dirt and mold creating a musty smell that clings to everything. You also see a dark opening.
Obvious exits: out
chipped stone sign
The armor in this room contains the trapped spirit of an animal. Be warned - they are wild and untamed, often lashing out in anger at those they do not know. Tame them and partner with them, however, to soothe the wild spirit within. When you are hit in combat, the spirit within will lash out defensively with Animalistic Instinct flares that will disorient and knock down your attacker, the spirit's bestial power increasing as its trust in you grows. Visit the shrine through the opening to unlock their further potential. In the shop next door, you will find weapons and shields to pair with these items.

On the armor stand you see: a dark vultite chain haubergeon studded with shark teeth, a suit of vultite field plate etched with a tentacle design, a reinforced vultite breastplate polished to a mirror shine, some sleek silk-lined vultite chain body armor and a long vultite chain shirt with tiny leaf-shaped links.

Wild Instinct, Shrine

[Wild Instinct, Shrine -]
Little light filters into this tiny alcove, making the only illumination the various green-flamed candles set into several nooks along the uneven walls. There is not much room for anything besides a flat stone shrine, which stretches across the entire space. Abandoned offerings of feathers and animal bones litter the floor, creating a narrow pathway of treacherous footing. The overwhelming scent of moist earth, mixed with a faint aroma of incense, permeates the damp air.

Unlock the further potential of the spirit within your armor. * Animalistic Instinct flares Reacting defensively to being hit, the spirit within sends out a sonic attack to disorient and knockdown your attacker. Using the provided papers raises the power of this attack, as well as how long attackers can remain disoriented. * Revenge flares Unlock a chance to unleash Animalistic Instinct flares on a successful evade. NOTE: You must be in forward or greater stance, as well as be an active participant in combat to properly enrage the spirit to retaliate. * Bestial Barrier When unlocked, the spirit can shroud you with a barrier whenever Animalistic Instinct flares hit defensively. This increases your physical defenses for 30 seconds or until the next creature attacks you.
