There are records in different points in time of Eurmal friends employing
the next spells: Illusions; Become Human Child; Charisma; Conceal; Crack;
Group Laughter; Strike.
The important thing is that the spells are neither one-use nor reusable.
The duck learns a spell and uses it. When, in the next FDF ritual where
Eurmal is summoned, he want's to regain the spell's usage, he will gain the
usage of a random spell, not the one he learned in the first time.
Friendship for Death
To become a friend for death of Eurmal, the duck must invite Eurmal's
spirit for a feast during a FDF ritual. Next he will commit all kind of
excesses (drinking, eating, sexual activity, etc.) with the participation
of his friends and relatives until he collapses to death.
"Once an Eurmal friend was able to enter the wedding of the chieftain of a
clan in Sartar disguised by the illusion of a roasted lamb. Next, thanks to
Conceal, he exchanged the meat in the dish of the father of the bride with
bones. That almost generated a war between the chieftain and the bride's
father. Finally he left the feast shapechanged to a dog and taking with him
the purses of all Issaries traders present."
FRIENDS OF ZONG
Both male and female can become friends of Zong.
Zong friends specialize in hunting traps, and use spears and slings for
weapons.
Most of the contact between Zong friends and trolls is made through
trollkin. Occasionally they will hunt together.
The preferred game that Zong friends hunt is insects (the smaller ones not
giant insects), small rodents and lizards. They don't hunt birds but will
recollect their eggs. They also don't hunt animals with a strong connection
to rivers like others.
They may learn the Peaceful Cut spell.
Lesser friendship
Lesser friends can learn the next spells one-use: Draw Beast, Sureshot,
Command Rodents, Command Insect Swarm.
They can apply for formal initiation if they fulfill the requirements. If
they don't do it, they will get normal attention from Zong worshipers
(meaning trolls), in other words: they're moving food.
Zong Trappers (Zong Best friends)
Zong Trappers can learn the same spells that lesser friends do, but they
are reusable.
Trolls respect them like initiates of the cult.
Friendship for Death
A shaman performs a FDF ritual and summons the ghost of Zong. The hunter
will either eat venomous insects or fight to death with giant insects.
NOTICE TO ROLE PLAYERS
The material in Duck Mini Pack has never been tested. If you think it is
worthy enough to deserve a go, you are on your own. Don't blame me for the
unexpected results.
