Tsetse Fly Swarm

Tsetse flies are large grey -brown insects with a painful bite. When traveling or residing in an area where these flies are prevalent, a Luck check must be made once per day to avoid being bitten. If bitten a second Luck check must be made to determine if the biting fly carried the parasites causing sleeping sickness. If this is also failed, a DC 5 Fort save prevents infestation and the resultant disease. The judge may allow long -term residents a weekly, monthly, or annual chance of infection instead. Those who encounter tsetse fly swarms or the cat - sized giant tsetse flies are less fortunate, as these can always transmit sleeping sickness, and the Fort save required to avoid contracting the malady is higher. Other Names: Tik -tik or tzetze flies.
