Surfacing

Drag your thoughts free of the dreams

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.

Keep your mind from straying. Concentrate on the task at hand.

Spend Inspiration to reset your Sword Dreams to 0.

            Unlocked when Inspiration is:

            1
            You need Sword-Dreams 1

            Unlocked when Inspiration is:

            1
            Unlocked with Sword-Dreams 1

Whatever deep road the dreams are leading you down, you'll follow it no longer. You shrug them off. The barrow-blade stirs, miserably.

You are no longer Inspired.

You are free of the barrow-blade's dreams, for now.

The Labyrinth

Beyond the door the passage splinters into looping, snakelike coils that divide, double back, and cross in a tangled maze around the barrow's heart.

Spells are scratched into the walls. As the maze ensnares your body, its sorceries will try to ensnare your spirit...

1. Accumulate Secrets, Gear, then Treasure to pass each of the Labyrinth's challenges.

2. As you explore the labyrinth you may become Entangled in its spells. The higher your Entangled quality, the cheaper it is to progress through the labyrinth. But if Entangled reaches 10, you'll become enchanted and have to break free.

The sounds of the wood

A very chancy challenge

Save for the thud of your axe, the wood was as quiet as a cathedral. That part of the forest was all hoary oaks with knots in their trunks and lichen on their bark. A coy wind ran its fingers through their leaves, and they shivered.

You returned midge-bitten and bramble-scratched, but with an armful of good wood that made the fire leap merrily.

This is tested when you need to think clearly.

You succeeded in a Wits challenge!

The Labyrinth

Beyond the door the passage splinters into looping, snakelike coils that divide, double back, and cross in a tangled maze around the barrow's heart.

Spells are scratched into the walls. As the maze ensnares your body, its sorceries will try to ensnare your spirit...

1. Accumulate Secrets, Gear, then Treasure to pass each of the Labyrinth's challenges.

2. As you explore the labyrinth you may become Entangled in its spells. The higher your Entangled quality, the cheaper it is to progress through the labyrinth. But if Entangled reaches 10, you'll become enchanted and have to break free.

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.

The Labyrinth

Beyond the door the passage splinters into looping, snakelike coils that divide, double back, and cross in a tangled maze around the barrow's heart.

Spells are scratched into the walls. As the maze ensnares your body, its sorceries will try to ensnare your spirit...

1. Accumulate Secrets, Gear, then Treasure to pass each of the Labyrinth's challenges.

2. As you explore the labyrinth you may become Entangled in its spells. The higher your Entangled quality, the cheaper it is to progress through the labyrinth. But if Entangled reaches 10, you'll become enchanted and have to break free.

Always

Pass through the preparation chamber

A wide chamber, forested with old wooden columns, opens before you.

You're sure one of them covers some of the labyrinth.

Reduce your Entangled by a random number between 1 and 3. If you have a Sheaf of Maps your Entangled will be reduced by an additional point.

A high-risk challenge

A Turn at the Forge

Was anywhere more truly your home than this? Surrounded by iron and fire, by smoke and by sound. Blades were forged here, and horseshoes and arrowheads and ploughshares.

And so were you.

This is a special card for the Blacksmith's Daughter.

You tried to impress your father by making a blade

You wanted to show him how much you'd learned.

Try to gain a Lesson of the Forge.

When you handed your father the blade, your hand still sweat-slick from the forge, he examined it critically. He grunted. Turning, he crashed it down upon the anvil. The anvil rang. The blade held.

He grunted again. 'Whoever wields this will be a lucky man,' he said. When he sold it, he demanded a high price.

You succeeded in a Sturdy Craft challenge!

Schooled at the anvil. Taught by the flame.

You now have 1 x Lessons of the Forge.

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

A well-deserved rest

A very chancy challenge

Down at the riverbank, where the willows draped their long leaves in the water, the grass was soft with buttercups and forget-me-nots. You lay in the shade and watched dragonflies hum over the slow surface. The sun tarried in the sky, and gave you plenty of time to doze and plot your excuses.
