Crimson Monsoon — Ruby Tiger Spellcasters Character Sheet

The story of Crimson Monsoon

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The Crimson Monsoon readers hang a strand of red beads outside every house near the canal. During ordinary weather the beads rest against the plaster. When the river begins to rise upstream, they lift gently away from the wall, giving people time to move their stores and bedding to the upper rooms.

One household reports that its beads have been floating for three days, although the canal remains low. A tiger mage arrives with a staff and a notebook. She watches the strand rise whenever the kitchen door opens. Beneath the floor, an old water pipe has cracked and filled a hollow space behind the foundation.

The six readers help the family carry jars into the courtyard. The mage with the broad hat keeps the bead strands sorted while another follows the buried pipe toward the garden. By sunset they have found a valve under the roots of an apricot tree and stopped the hidden leak.

Crimson layers and gold cloud motifs run through the character sheet, with broad sleeves, angular staffs, and suspended beads creating different silhouettes. One reader folds the repaired strand into a square of cloth before returning it. The family hangs it beside the kitchen door, where they will see its movement every time they come in.
