Long ago

The Ringing of Bells

The bells rang in the morning.

They called the moorsfolk to prayer, and sang at each of life's milestones: births, weddings, deaths.

Push the memories of the abbey aside

Rosling Abbey

Wind-bitten. Bleak. Home, for all the ordered years of your novitiate.

You remember the hardy roses crawling up the cloisters. The groan of the night-wind outside your cell. Sweet plainsong, and sweeter honey from the hives along the south wall.

Return to the Ringing of Bells card.

You will be taken back to the previous card to choose a different option.

A very chancy challenge

The Ringing of Bells

The bells rang in the morning.

They called the moorsfolk to prayer, and sang at each of life's milestones: births, weddings, deaths.

...and listened to the sermon.

You will recover some Spirit (more on a success) and gain a Memory of Home.

The priest's sermons were earthy, but he was unquestionably pious. He never brought his sword into the chapel, instead leaning it outside against a gravestone, and was careful to curtail his swearing while under the Lord's roof.

At the summer fair he drank flagons of mead and told stories of his days as a wanderer, selling his labour and sword to whatever master he could find.

Afterwards he usually remembered to thank the Lord's grace for saving him from vagabondry, but there was something wolfish and wistful in his eyes as he took another drink.

This is tested when you need to think clearly.

You succeeded in a Wits challenge!

Your Spirit is 10. A bold journey ahead, but you have much to sustain you.

Your memories sustain you. You can spend them in Camp or on Above cards.

You've gained 1 x Memories of Home (new total 3).

The Demands of the Sea Kings

The raids of the Sea-Kings grew bolder. Soon, they weren't content with being mere thieves - they demanded tribute.

What did you do when they came in force?

Always

Always

You were alone when they came

They showed you their long swords and the dripping heads that dangled from their banner.

You calmed your father

He was a proud man, with a sharp tongue.

This memory will restore some Spirit, and make your father a part of your story.

You protected your sister

She was bonny, but no-one envied her. It was a curse when raiders came.

This memory will restore some Spirit, and make your sister a part of your story.


Beauty catches the eye

You fled with her into the woods as the Sea-Kings ransacked your home.For three days and three nights you hid among brambles, until you heard your mother's voice calling for you.

Your home was ruined. The Sea-Kings were gone. But they would return, and if they couldn't have gold, they'd have slaves.

You have a new Quest - the Sea-Kings' Ransom.

Spirit has not changed from 10 because it's higher than 9.

Your sister may become a part of your story.

Something keeps you from your goal. You cannot complete a dungeon while you still have a complication.

You now have 1 x A Complication.

You must pay off the grim warriors from a ruined land

An occurrence! Your 'Complication: The Sea-Kings' Ransom' Quality is now 1!

The Summer Fair

There was music and dancing, games and follies, black ale and sweet pastries. The boys took their shirts off and the girls wore flowers in their hair.

This is a Prestige Card, which offers better or more reliable rewards than other cards from the Above Deck and does not increase the threat of the Sea-Kings.

Above Deck

Restore Spirit by remembering your life above

You joined the dancing

Ribbons wheeled like dragons in the sky. The fiddle was merry, the drums quick. Bare feet spun on the grass.

This card will be removed from your deck, but it will remove the Dread and Dark conditions, and grant a point of Spirit.

You joined the tug-of-war

A contest of strength and determination.

Challenge a friend playing Below to a contest of Spirit. You will both gain 1 Spirit and the winner will receive a Reckless Folly.

A Tug-of-War

In better times, the moorsfolk played games at the midsummer fair: cankerjacks, the acorn roll, Beggar's Choice. [Actor] assembled a team for the tug of war, and challenged you to do the same. Both of you will receive a point of Spirit and the winner will receive a Reckless Folly.

Both sides strained under the fierce sun, back and forth. The balance shifted. Your team heaved, and [Participants] side were dragged, struggling, across the line.

You entered the riddling-contest

You wanted to pit your craft against others.

Challenge a friend playing Below to a contest of Wits. You will both gain a point of Spirit, and the winner will gain a Forgotten Lore.

A Riddle-Contest

One year at the Midsummer Fair, [Actor] challenged you to a contest of riddles. If you accept, both of you will gain 1 Spirit, and the victor Forgotten Lore.

Your sharp wits cut a path through [Participants]'s word-briar. You tied a knot of your own, a tight lore-tangle. They could not unpick it.

You gave someone a flower

A token of your affection.

Give a flower to a friend playing Below. If they accept, this will restore two points of Spirit for you both.

            1
            You need 1 x Memories of Home  (you have 3)

            1

The Gift of a Flower

At the midsummer fair, [Actor] gave you a flower, fragrant and delicate. Did you accept?

[Participants] accepted the flower, pinning it to the breast of their cloak.

You decided to settle a score

Your rival was here...

You will both gain a Strength of Will, and the victor will gain Spirit equal to their Rivalry, while the loser will gain Experience equal to theirs. Both of you will lose access to the Summer Fair card until you reacquire it.

            1
            You need Rivalry 1

            1
            You need Impossible! 1

A Score Settled

At the summer fair, while the moorsfolk danced and drank and played the fool, [Actor] decided to settle their score with you.

The confrontation was brief, and ended with [Participants] in the duck pond. The sight lifts your spirits, even now.

The Hall

The roof was high and steep, supported by crossed beams of pine. Light blazed in its windows. Wooden columns supported the eaves, and on each was carved a different beast: an eager hound, a rearing bull, a soaring eagle, a leaping salmon, a proud gryphon, a flame-wrapped dragon, a coiled snake, and on the very last a tiny mouse, hidden at the bottom.

The witch was waiting for you

Her hair was a tangle of chestnut brown that she hadn't brushed in years. Her face was thin; her smile quick and crooked.

She knew how to counter evil magic

And once, she let some of her secrets slip.

A tough challenge

On Harrow's Hill

A witch lived on Harrow's Hill. When twilight fell, the light in her window burned against the hill's black bulk - a lonely star in an empty sky.

This is a Prestige Card, with better or more reliable rewards than other cards from the Above Deck. It does not increase the threat of the Sea-Kings.

She wasn't like the village-folk - you could learn much from her. While her mood held.

You will gain 1 Spirit and Experience up to your Spirit. But beware - the witch is easily angered.

            Unlocked when The Witch's Mood is:

Curious (you have this)

Indulgent

She could write, badly, and sometimes scrawled on a bundle of scrolls. Every inch of them was covered in ink, and she'd have to scrape old words off with a sharp stone to make room for the new.

You stole such glimpses as you dared. Often, they were little sketches of lost places.

This is tested when you need to think clearly.

You succeeded in a Wits challenge!

Spirit has not changed from 10 because it's higher than 10.

Return to town to spend this on new abilities for your character.

You've gained 7 x Experience (new total 27).

Something is marked on it... Map-Scraps can only be used in the dungeon, not in town.

You now have 1 x A Map-Scrap.

Despite the rich harvest he wanted to salt and pickle and store everything. But the work had been hard, and your family deserved some indulgence.

Spend 3 Memories of Home to gain Inspiration.

A Secret Cider-Drinking Contest

You remember a fine day during harvest-time. [Actor] had a plan - to steal a flagon of cider, and find out once and for all which of you could best hold your drink...

[Participants] distracted the field-workers while you filched the cider. You met under the old bridge, where you took turns swigging from the flagon until [Participants] was vigorously sick.


A rich repast

You argued with your father

            3

The argument lasted for most of the day, but you stood your ground. In the end - half from frustration, half because he knew you were right - he conceded.

'But pray the winter's mild,' he said, as your grinning mother began planning pies and tarts and soups. 'And that the Sea-Kings don't come expecting a place at the table.'

On Harrow's Hill

A witch lived on Harrow's Hill. When twilight fell, the light in her window burned against the hill's black bulk - a lonely star in an empty sky.

This is a Prestige Card, with better or more reliable rewards than other cards from the Above Deck. It does not increase the threat of the Sea-Kings.

Above Deck

Restore Spirit by remembering your life above

Cunning Plan

This will give you two chances at a test of Subtlety. You can't have more than three of these.
To use, click on the difficulty readout of a branch that tests Subtlety and check the box.

A chancy challenge

On such nights, demons, bogles and untamed things consorted and held council.

You will gain a Forgotten Lore and Experience equal to your Subtlety. Beware - the witch does not appreciate being spied on.

You watched her practice her arts

She could see like a cat, go unseen when she chose, and knew sciences of healing that were painful, but effective.

This will remove the Hurt, Watched and Dark conditions, and remove this card from your deck until you reacquire it.

You spent time in her company

Forgotten Lore

This will give you two chances at a test of Wits. You can't have more than three of these.
To use, click on the difficulty readout of a branch that tests Wits and check the box.

A tough challenge

She wasn't like the village-folk - you could learn much from her. While her mood held.

You will gain 1 Spirit and Experience up to your Spirit. But beware - the witch is easily angered.

She knew how to counter evil magic

And once, she let some of her secrets slip.

This will remove the Cursed condition, grant 2 Spirit and remove this card from your deck until you reacquire it.

            Unlocked when The Witch's Mood is:

Curious (you have this)

Indulgent

            Unlocked when Cursed is:


Borrowed witchcraft

She guarded her tricks carefully. But you watched closely and managed to pick up enough, here and there, to mimic them once in a blue moon.

Any time she noticed you get the hang of one of her secrets, she stopped talking to you and you were no longer welcome on the hill.

At least until she forgot what she'd been offended about.

Your memory of Harrow's Hill fades. Down here, it is hard to dwell on anything but the dark and the spiders.
