The Last Rites ensure that all who need a funeral receive one. We must all pay the ferryman’s toll. The Headsman hunts Death Mask and The Hanged Man, two Hunters who mock the grave and who refuse to pay their toll. He’s joined by Mama Maye and members of The Death Pact, who have a staked interested in the dead staying dead. Also backed by The Reverend and the pious and fanatical, united against this blasphemy against life. Those who reject fate only feed the Corruption.
If The Last Rites win, unlock Patron’s Prayer – Berthier 1892 Riposte.
The Unquiet Dead
But The Unquiet Dead will not go gently into that good night. The Hanged Man survived nine hangings, and isn’t about to lose his neck. Death Mask knows more than anyone what it takes to survive. Joined by others who’ve crossed the boundary between life and death, together they will escape the curse of death.
If The Unquiet Dead win, unlock Empty Cairn – Mosin Nagant.
