The Mystic
As we linger, undecided, the clairvoyant nods sagely. “You may hide,” she whispers, “but you cannot escape Him.”
There is a brief glimmer of pearlescent white — the sound of an owl, hooting across the bog. Then both fog and woman are gone. We stand alone in the Mire, under a hastily rising moon.
All travellers gain the Curse of the Mystic. 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.
