Omens

0 of 6 encountered

1. A caravan of wagons, fat donkeys hauling thick logs, escorted by twelve warty guards. They are respectful to Knights, but urge the need for haste, delivering materials for the Toad’s castle.
2. Two scouts, searching for news of the Toad. They hear his castle has been built.
3. The Toad’s pet, a monstrous slug, is being delivered to his castle in chains. Six warty guards struggle with the task, asking for help. The Toad is grateful for aid given.
4. Nestled among thorns, a scroll with green ribbon. It reads “the Toad commends your service”. Anybody reading it feels sickly sweet, as if filled with honey. They choke and sputter syrupy spittle, losing VIG.
5. A lone warty guard, delivering a gift to one of the Knights (see opposite). Its curse manifests when the item is used, which the guard encourages the Knight to do later. The curse lasts an entire Season.
6. Twelve warty guards ride forward, demanding the Knights visit the Toad. They must swear to him or die.
