	Creeping Dread

You feel a deep primordial fear creeping in the back of your head. All offensive, defensive and psionic skils reduced by 2%.
Duration: 11 seconds
Max stacks: 20

See also: Eye of Tchort

Creeping Dread is a debuff. It is caused by being in Tchort-controlled areas of Deep Caverns, namely most of the Hollow Earth research complex (except Tithonus Lab) and the Mutagen Tanks. Normally it gains an additional stack every 5 seconds until it reaches 20 stacks, but it can be slowed down with Echoing Soliloquy feat.

Once it reaches 20 stacks, the eye of Tchort turns upon you, causing tchortlings to appear and seek you out.

Creeping Dread and Eye of Tchort can be reseted by avoiding Tchort's attention either by leaving the affected areas entirely or seeking refuge in safe spots found throughout the affected territory.
