The Bride

“Alas,” sighs the tree. “It seems that she must wait a little longer.”

Failure. By failing to offer a strong suitor, the travellers have failed the Bride’s Challenge.

  • All travellers suffer the Curse of the Bride. If this is the party's third Curse, click here.

  • When a spirit is displeased by the party, it will lay its Curse upon them. Curses have dire consequences. The more Curses a party gathers, the more lives will be claimed in the Heart of the Wood. Furthermore, if a party incurs three Curses, the Wood's spirits will reject them and they will be forced to flee for their lives, ending the game.

    When you incur a Curse, place it in a designated area of the table so that all travellers are aware of it.

As we leave the tree behind, we hear the distant sound of weeping on the breeze. It fades gradually, until soon there is nothing at all.

  • Re-form the deck before continuing.
