Editing LeviathanTempest:ChapterFour (section)

==== Ritual of the Sacred Triangle (OOO) ====

Every year people slip through the Gatewaters and into the Rift, every few years an entire ship or airplane is drawn down into those tempestuous waters and sometimes it's no accident. When a Leviathan wishes to sink a ship without personal combat or draw it away from any witnesses they may call the Rift to rise up and drag entire vessels into the abyss.

Sacrifice: A Beloved must be near or on the target, a second Beloved linked by blood is then held under water and violently killed, mimicking the violence of the tempest. 

Effigy: The second is held underwater and beaten, nothing more than mild bruising is required. 

Auspicious Portents: High Tide and Uranus

Ominous Portents: Low Tide and Jupiter 

Sample Acts: Jars of water from the Rift are left on the target. The Sacrifice is drowned within the rift itself. A “map” of the Rift is overlayed onto a map of the Shore and the ritual is modified for the target's position. 

Roll: Sheol+Zeal+Occult extended. 

Dramatic Failure: The ritual chamber is pulled into the Rift. The Leviathan will have to act fast to protect her Cult from the Tempest or just drowning. 

Failure: The Ritual fails to take effect. 

Success: The Cult makes progress on the Ritual, when Successes equal the target's Size it is pulled into the Shallows. Generally speaking humans will quickly drown. Ships might remain intact if they don't land in a rough part of the tempest but they'll be inoperable. If they are not destroyed by the Tempest submarines remain functional but excepting downright implausible luck leading them to a large Gatewater they're trapped in the Rift. 

Exceptional Success: Not only does the Cult make significant progress, if the Ritual is completed the target will arrive in a convenient part of the Rift.

Suggested Modifiers: Natural Gatewater present (+2). Naturally calm waters (-1). The Sacrifice and the anchor are related only by a blood brothers declaration (-1), they're blood family (+0), siblings (+1), fraternal twins (+2), identical twins (+4), the target is out of sight of land (+1), the target is near significant amounts of land (-1), the target is docked at land (-4), The target is in a Gatewater (+2).
