Rhythm of Rest

As a rest activity, roll Maneuver to perform a meditative dance.✦ 5+: You gain +1 overflow Spirit.  ⬖ 3–4: No effect.ⓧ 1–2:  You end your rest with -1 spirit or -1 stamina (your choice).If your max Stamina and max Spirit are both zero, you can't perform this activity. If you successfully perform Rhythm of Rest and you know the Song lore, you can  ✪ Tell the Tale as a second, free activity during the same rest.
