Part of the
Whispering Deck.
The card is decorated with an intricate knot.
Influence
When you roll an intelligence check and do not succeed, take 1 knot. Additional failures accumulate more knots. Take -knots when you roll an intelligence check. If you have more knots than you have intelligence, you can do little more than babble and can be led about. Lose all knots when the Influence of the Card fades.
Ritual
The deck is distributed among the witnesses. The Querent vanishes, entombed with all their gear, in a state of suspended animation within a spherical prison below the ground. The location of the drawing ritual becomes a place of power, feeling like the outlook and alignment of the Querent.
Within the dungeon, an equal amount of demi-liches appear, with the goal of hunting the intruders to feed them to its phylactery to once again become a full lich.
Hidden throughout this dungeon are many corpses and enemies, littered with treasure, gold and magical items.
Whispers
People become fully aware that the Querent has been imprisoned. Some receive hints of where they are.
