You come to some indefinable time later, battered and barely able to move. You lie still for a moment, gathering your strength, wondering if you're going to live through the night.
You pull yourself towards a dumpster and attempt to use it to stand up, but you can't muster enough strength. Slowly you slide back to the ground, lying helplessly on the cement. Staring up though the glare of the street light to the nearly starless sky above, you wonder what to do next.
As a Naturalist:
Everything fades out again for a moment, and you have a most unusual dream. In it you find yourself in the ocean, swimming with a pack of sharks. The largest of them swims up to you, but surprisingly you're not afraid. Then you realize that even though you're in human form you, too, are a shark, and belong to the pack. The large shark speaks: "Take this necklace." He opens his mouth wide, and you can see a leather thong stuck in his teeth. Without hesitating you reach into his mouth and tug at the thong. A tooth comes with it as you pull the necklace free.
You wake from the dream feeling oddly reassured. With surprise you realize that you are still holding the necklace.
As a Psion:
Slowly you become aware that even through the light pollution you can see one star hovering nearly straight overhead. Or that's what you think at first, until you realize that it's growing larger. In fact, it appears to be some sort of flying object, heading swiftly towards you. In a matter of moments you're face-to-face with a strange, glowing egg-shaped aircraft, roughly five feet across. You decide you must be hallucinating, because an encounter with a UFO just wouldn't make any sense. But your skepticism takes a hit when a hatch in the front of the egg opens. A mechanical arm extends from the hatch, holding what appears to be a ring of cloth. With gentle precision the cloth is placed around your head like some sort of headband. Then the arm retracts back into the aircraft, and in a flash it disappears into the night sky.
You get an item: Class Talisman
