Barbarian · Path of the Gravewake
Fury harvested from the fallen. Each drop within sight feeds a storm that won't fade till the battle ends — and he counts every one.

The Ladder
What they learn
LV 1
Battlefield Tally A running count of casualties, distances, and rounds; the party always knows the true score.

LV 10
Hold the Fold Interpose against a Binding effect and hold it open by main strength — 'I was rearmost.'

How to run Corm
VoicePlain, patient, tally-keeping. Never blames the town for not seeing him.
WantsTo keep one fact alive, alone, against a whole machinery of forgetting. To be a witness instead of evidence.
Do this nowCorm reads the battlefield and steers it — 'you're not fighting it, you're steering it'; counts everything; holds the line nobody else can. “They were being introduced.” The mouse who has been right, and unseen, for years. He killed a monster at the barrier once and carries its head as proof the outside is real — and the town's eyes bend around him. His gift is a tally- keeper's clarity: in battle he diagnoses and steers rather than swings. He holds the folding world open with his shoulders so the party can pass. Title stays dominant — his un-seeing is the point. Fights best beside — Huck — the tally and the telling; the book's theory of friendship has these two names on it.
