The Helpless

We pass on. The child’s cries grow fainter, but they do not die. Even hours later, as the sun falls in the sky overhead, we seem to hear a thin cry drifting among the trees. The phantom babe pursues us.

The travellers gain the Curse of the Helpless. Place the card in a designated area of the table. 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.
