Lord Osric Marchgate wants his stolen heirloom back, and he will pay well for it. The thieves are a desperate goblin tribe. The tomb they robbed is coming apart, and something beneath the forest is waking up.
The curse is a six-box Seal Clock that ticks toward dawn and toward the dark. Players choose between coin, oaths and the gratitude of the dead, and a ring that can see through lies makes a poor reward for anyone who tells them.
