Talk About a Holy Relic

It’s a fun mission today: a Demons and Darkness themed run to open up trade with a settlement that’s obsessed with the game. Sam tells you to put on your cloak and head into the woods. The ‘Lich Liege’ who rules the community has a quest for you.

You’re ambushed by skeletal wights – actually settlers in costume. Thanks to a successful dice roll, an ‘arrow’ to the head slows them down. The way is clear for you to continue.

Now you’re facing a troll, who demands you answer a riddle before he’ll let you pass. Sam recruits Maxine to help, but when she gives the wrong answer, you’re forced to dodge the troll’s blow and make your escape.

You head into some caves to retrieve the fictional magic chalice, but the caves contain a very real zom. Maxine instructs you to dodge a ‘fireball’, grab the chalice and head out to the mountainside.

You emerge onto a crumbling mountain ledge. Maxine wants you to seek shelter in the community, but the Lich Liege refuses. They’ve never fought a zombie before and don’t know how. You’ll have to deal with the dead yourself.

You kick the zombie off a ledge. The danger is over, but the Lich Liege says you took too long to retrieve the chalice and failed the quest. Maxine persuades her to bend the rules, leaving you free to enter the cosplaying settlement.
