The worst of all crimes

A very chancy challenge

Justice could be hard to come by in Gallowmoor. There was no king, and no king's law. An alderman's rulings reached as far as his sword. The althing carried more weight, until an offender had enough powerful friends to split the vote. Instead, families took matters into their own hands, sparking blood-feuds that carved the land like a jigsaw.

It seemed to you then that of all the world's crimes, 'getting caught' carried the harshest sentence.

Your wariness. Often tested in challenges of stealth and finesse.

You succeeded in a Subtlety challenge!

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

You've gained 3 x Memories of Home (new total 27).

Reckless Folly has not changed from 3 because it's higher than 3.

Serpent-ships have been sighted off the coast...

The hour

Dream of sails and salt-spray

Sword-Dreams

The dreams are not your own. They are old and heavy as iron. When your mind wanders they sink into your thoughts, carrying you down with them into long-forgotten times.

When your Sword-Dreams equal or exceed your Spirit, the grey-smocked ghosts that haunt the barrow will grow hostile.

You lie with your brothers and sisters in the open belly of a ship, snug in your scabbard...

            1
            You need Sword-Dreams 1 and Sword-Dreams no more than 1 (you have 2)

            1
            Unlocked with Sword-Dreams 1 - you have 2

To either side, men pull on white oars. Salt crusts their hair. The wind flings sea-foam over the sides. They brush it from their eyes and spit it from their lips.

Above the sails, sad gulls wheel. A cry from the prow: 'Land!'

Soon, the blade-music.

The barrow-blade's dreams haunt you.

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.

A tough challenge

Some of the farmers were acting like lords, and some of the lords like kings. They'd benefit from being taken down a peg.

You will gain 3 Memories of Home, and on a success you will gain a Cunning Plan.

You attended the althing

Word had gone out. The Moorsfolk were summoned to council.

Spend 5 Memories of Home to add a powerful new card to your Above Deck.

            5
            You need 5 x Memories of Home  (you have 28)

            5
            Unlocked with 5 x Memories of Home  - you have 28

Your cousin took you with him to the althing

He was in a fiery mood. 'I want you to see what they're like,' he said.

Spend 4 Memories of Home to add a powerful new card to your Above Deck.

            4
            You need 4 x Memories of Home  (you have 28)

The moot

            5
            You need 5 x Memories of Home  (you have 23)

            5
            Unlocked with 5 x Memories of Home  - you have 23

The roads bustled with traffic heading to the moot. Travellers shared a little news, a lot of hearsay and endless speculation.

The great hall rose on its hill. Its doorway was busy with arrivals, trampling the fresh rushes that spilled from within. You pushed your way inside. The althing was about to begin.

You have a new card in your Above Deck: the Althing.

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

You've lost 5 x Memories of Home (new total 23).

When a matter needed to be settled, the Moorsolk called a moot.

You remember the Althing, where the moorsfolk held council. A new card has been added to your Above Deck.

The Althing

When a matter must be settled, the Moorsfolk called an althing - a council where all voices can be heard.

They arrived in their finest clothes, leaving their weapons at the hall's door. Gold gleamed on throats and wrists and fingers. Straw bales served as seats, with a space at the middle for speakers. The aldermen sat at the front, the lesser families behind. The hall rang with voices. Until the aldermen called for quiet, and the proceedings began...

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 kept to the back of the hall

That's where the real business was done.

You will gain a Cunning Plan and Experience equal to your Wits.

You spoke in support of your neighbour

The feud had escalated and spilled into nearby territories. It had to be settled.

You will gain 10 Experience, but this card will be removed from your deck until you reacquire it.

You spoke fairly, though to do so you had to speak against your neighbour

Their feud had spilled into nearby territories. It had to be settled.

You will gain 4 Spirit, but this card will be removed from your deck until you reacquire it.

Afterwards, you listened to the elders and their tales

They talked of old battles and forgotten heroes, and mourned bright days gone.

You will earn a Clue to a Treasure-Trove, a Forgotten Lore, and lose the Lost condition if you have it.

Behind the scenes

Gallowmoor was a patchwork of simmering feuds, fiery friendships and old, disputed claims. In the shadows at the back of the hall, promises were made, lies told, and alliances forged and broken all in the time it took an alderman to finish his speech.

You sat quietly, watched, and learned.

This will give you two chances at a test of Subtlety. You can't have more than three of these.

Cunning Plan has not changed from 3 because it's higher than 3.

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

You've gained 1 x Experience (new total 16).

Tribute for the Sea-Kings

Unless you can pay the Sea-Kings' tribute, they'll despoil and enslave all you hold dear.

Always

Always

You have what they want

You have enough to buy peace from the salt-bearded raiders.

You must pay off the Sea-Kings before you can complete the dungeon.

The Harvest

The leaves were turning, the sky was blue...


A Glimpse of the Troll-Wife

A ragged shape hunches in the dark, singing a lonely troll-song. Is that Hruske?

Or is it another trick?

Below Deck

Explore the dungeon

Seize her!

A fat cave-frog clings to the wall. The troll-wife sings to it, scratching it under the chin with a jagged fingernail clogged with rusty blood.

'Wandering knight, proud and true.' She croons.

'Waiting troll. Tasty stew.'

Let her go

It's probably one of her tricks.

Turn away, and seek elsewhere.

Counter her troll-magic

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 very chancy challenge

A handful of sprinkled salt. Three names, spoken firmly.

Spend Gear and Secrets to dispel Hruske's illusion.

            Unlocked when Beset by Troll-Seemings is:

            5
            You need 5 x Gear  (you have 7)

            5
            You need 5 x Secrets  (you have 7)

            Unlocked when Beset by Troll-Seemings is:

            5
            Unlocked with 5 x Gear  - you have 7

            5
            Unlocked with 5 x Secrets  - you have 7


Trickery!

Your hand passes through her like smoke, finding instead something cold and hard and long-dead. Hruske's tusky grin vanishes, and behind it is nothing but a mound of mouldy bones, which your reaching hand sends clattering to the floor. The noise is loud as drum beats. It will have attracted attention.

You are beset by Troll-seemings!

Something is watching you.
