Fool Me Twice

GM Renown Tier 5

The player is sent a letter about a lost sword.

Letter: ‘To whom it may concern, Someone found my buried chest and took our family heirloom. It was an incredible diamond-studded sword that could cut through stone.

The thief must have snagged their tunic on the chest and left a piece of cloth.

You could use this to track them down. Unfortunately, their footprints headed towards Midwood, and there is no way I could go in there.

Find our sword, and I will reward you with another legendary item that I do not cherish quite as much.’

• Recover the lost sword

Enter Midwood and get to the last room at any depth.

You will see a sword in a stone transform into a Water Hag.

“Fooled you! The Lord of the Dark Heart insists on your death! Come give old Alice Scratcheyes a cuddle! Hahahaha!”

Kill the Hag.

“I failed you Lord. May my sister’s avenge me! Aaaaagghhh!”
