The Tavern

This interaction killed a character of mine and I wanted to ask if it was intentional. If you have Blurry Vision AND Sacrificed Words to Ru, there's a chance you'll start reading; get delayed by your Blurry Vision, get hit during the delay and fail to read the scroll because of -Words activating in the middle of the delay. So yea:

1. Was this intentional?
2. Is this a little TOO brutal?

I'm sure I'm to blame in the death; but...it felt really bad and cheap to fail and be stuck without the ability to do anything.

That sounds like a bug to me.

That's definitely a bug.
