Winter in the Gnome Garden

Full Script

Vex

Notes

A bitter chill runs down your spine, the first biting breezes of winter air threatening the peace of the Al-Hadikhia's strangling garden. Don your warmest coats and put on a kettle for your feyfolk friends - this garden has plenty of reasons to kill, and plenty more to live. This script is meant to showcase the Gnome, the Al-Hadikhia, and the Tea Lady in a bitter conflict of death and protection, but other killing and protecting roles like the Sailor, Gambler, Fool, Godfather, and Devil's Advocate are here to spice up the party.
