Drowning

The river takes what it is owed, patient and indifferent as stone.

When someone plunges beneath the water, they hold Breath equal to 1 + CON, plus 2 if they first took a deep breath. Underwater moves that involve a roll force a choice after the move resolves: spend Breath, mark a debility, or face the location-specific drowning consequence.

Kind Environmental or Procedural Threat

Hold: Breath equal to 1 + CON; +2 Breath if a deep breath was taken first.
