Level 3:
Earth meld
Becoming one with the soil, the vampire sinks into the earth. Un- less in torpor, the vampire rises again the following night.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ System: No test is required, but the vampire must be on a natural surface: rocks, raw earth, grass, etc. This power does not work on concrete, asphalt, or other artificial surfaces. It takes a turn for the vampire to sink into the earth, leaving carried objects behind atop the soil. While in the earth the vampire is aware of their surroundings, except during day-sleep. At those times, disturbances (e.g., digging or loud noises) awaken them or not as with all vampires (p. 219).
■ Duration: One day or more, or until disturbed
