Inevitable Risks

Exploration Stage: Observatory
From: Martha
Description: To open the phylactery and release the soul, I'll have to use some ancient and dangerous magic. During the ritual, I will prick my finger with a bone needle and drop blood on the magical seal of the Order of Shadows that has been placed over the phylactery to prevent it from opening. Could you please go find me a bone needle?
Completed: Oh, thank you. This bone needle would be perfect for the ritual. I don't want to resort to blood magic, but I don't see any other way. We have to accept the risk in order to open the phylactery and release the poor soul.
