Go alone
Spare your crew whatever laughs at you from behind shadowed trees.
Stolen speech
Your crew are loyal, and protest, but their relief is palpable. You stride through the trees, the distant starlight dappling their grey leaves silver. You are greeted with laughter as bright and insistent as a blade at the throat. It emerges from the dell, which descends to a gap in the trees.
Send your crew ahead
You cannot afford to risk yourself. Mockery won't make you reckless.
Stolen speech
Their faces are grey, but their jaws are set. They stride forward. Branches pushed back to allow passing shield your crew from view.

The laughter increases in pitch and intensity. The woods rustle, shaken by a wind that doesn't reach you. And then a chorus joins the laughter; that grunting-snort – the distinctive laugh of your stoker. That choked chuckle – one of your engineers. Your crew!

You have no choice but to follow the sounds. The dell descends steeply, into a cleft in the earth.
Enter the hollow
Voices echo from within the cleft in the earth.
A prize claimed
At the very bottom of the dell is a brook. The water babbles and chuckles, murmurs and giggles. A bronze seal gleams, just under the surface. As you reach to take it, three vulpine faces are reflected in the water next to yours.

You are being watched by a three-headed fox, the size and colour of a polar bear. It speaks, but with the voices of your crew. "Mourn not the wild trees nor the slain servant. Open the silent barrows."

The fox flees into the wood. There is no sign of your crew.
Advanced alteration value probably needs examination.
