can see at a distance the pillar where an in-

recognize as the Moon Stone. You see two
paths to reach it, a forest of gigantic mush-
rooms with a mist of yellow and green smoke
and a large dark lake with a small village on
a small island.

they are pretty different from those you see on the surface.
Some are as large as trees, others are as wide as houses, and
some even have a bioluminescent glow. After some time
wandering through the forest, you notice a giant lizard,
about the size of a goat, and it seems startled by your
presence and runs into the middle of a large clearing
of small colorful mushrooms. It steps on some of the
mushrooms, and beautiful clumps of colored smoke
appear in the air.

18 After finally convincing Jocasta, you go with

her, Ellen, and Vaclav through a portal to reach
Fisherman’s Wharf. You arrive at a hidden portal
close to the city, where you can cross some farmlands
to reach the graveyard unnoticed.
The place is silent. There are no kemet scouts or un-

dead, but you know this can change any time, so it’s
better to be quick.
Vaclav: “We have eleven totems, but they must be
planted on the ground where no bodies are buried.
I can use a spell to sense the number of corpses next
to each tomb, not in the ground itself. Go plant the
totems while we prepare the ritual.”
You must bury eleven totems where no graves lie.

Based on Vaclav’s spell, you know how many bodies are
adjacent to each stone tomb (including diagonally).
Use Condition Tokens to track the places you will put the totems.
• Use the orange side to mark places where you believe there are bod-
ies and the green side where you will place the totems.
Stones never have bodies underneath, but you cannot place totems
there.
Go to [10] to check the answer, and memorize how many totems
youplaced in the correct places.
19 The leader watches you curiously and says: “Greetings, serf of

Tamera. I am Lieutenant Ulfor, the prison leader, and these are my
guards. This soldier will take you to them.”
You follow the soldier, and he leaves you alone in the open cells. The
prisoners are chained to the walls by their arms.
Ellen: “That easy? Something’s wrong; don’t let your guard down. Let’s
follow the plan.” [12]
20 After some arguing, they agree to go for Tamera’s revelation. With

the planar clock, you face your sins in a difficult test. Tamera ultimately
bestows a vision of an Ironhand facility where prisoners await trans-
portation to Fisherman’s Wharf. The plan is to head there and change
three of these prisoners for priests who can then carry out Tamera’s
plan inside kemet walls. In the process, Ulfor - the lead warden - alerts
all guards, at the cost of his life.
