The Grim's Reading

This reading, written in Sylvan by calligraphic brush across a spread of multiple papers, is a description of the fey pacts currently affecting its signatories - Ferdinand Woyzeck, Konstantin Brandt, Remembers Jorgen, "Ritz" M'Finkle and Gerta Longstalker. While Mantor would have liked to have signed, this was impossible due to blood being an essential component.

The document is written with flourish, impossible to read in a hurry due to the order of the text not following conventional page structure.

Contents

At the time of writing, the first pact was known to involve the agreement the group had made with Sister Pris, a hag attempting to defect from the Coven of Covens. The second pact involved Gerta, who had had a run-in with a hag known as "The Beauty" and had been cursed with unnatural attractiveness as a result. The fourth pact was assumed to involve Ritz, who had made a bargain in the market town of Underbridge.

It remains unknown who - or even what - the third pact involves.

The Grim's Reading

Involving the five, enscribed above:

Pact the First
For no less than eleven-thousand, thirty-score and eight suns,
No harm to fall upon the sister, provided she does not return,
One is owned by the others, their freedom delayed,
A meeting must occur with the worst of all hags,
All must work to strike down the coven,
Knowledge and trinkets have been given to balance this pact.

Pact the Second
Indefinitely, until the Beauty unravels this,
One owns the allure of six others.

Pact the Third
Until death strikes either down,
One owes a debt to someone with power.

Pact the Fourth
Until a favour is called in,
One owes a transaction, their payment their skill.
