The Butcher

As we watch the animals graze peacefully, we feel our bloodthirst dissolve. We cannot slaughter such beautiful creatures for the sake of mere hunger. Turning away, we push on into the afternoon.

  • The Butcher disapproves of your temerity. The party suffers the Curse of the Butcher. If this is your 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.
