The Duke is no longer himself, Blind Marge shared some details about the beginning of the curse and the Spanish guy left taking Neri and Icarus with him. They're in a better place now. Not dead though! Haha.

Found all your stuff already? If not you better act quick because most of the townsfolk are leaving, they've been stuck here for a long while and some have their real family waiting for them. They'll take whatever they can with them as they go so there's looting and chaos all around the usually so peaceful town.

It also seems that the destruction of the apple trees set off the crows. They're making a horrible noise as they fly over your heads and kaw loudly. More birds seem to arrive to the scene every minute. It's almost like you're stuck in a Hitchcock movie. Time to go?

[ mission: look for hook. i mean the map. ]

You broke the curse! Or well, the weird spanish guy doing magic is on that right now, finishing it up, but the group should be fine. Or fine and fine.

The townsfolk is as confused as you are. Some of them have been under the spell for years. The guards are giving up their weapons as they realize they don't want to fight for this guy. It was all for the money. He used them. If you want to question him while he's still alive you better keep him safe inside the church.

[ mission: deal with the post-traumatic stress. ]

So it seems like getting rid of the apple trees will break the curse! Great news!

The bad news are that the townsfolk still under the curse will defend their trees to the last breath and the oldest apple tree in the marketplace is surrounded by guards.

When and if the curse breaks all your memories (and powers) will return and everything will be normal again. Or not, haha. Enjoy the awkward.

[ mission: fight it out. ]
[ the list of people who have broken their curse so far: clara, dean, cas, constantine, graham, hel, daniel. ]

It's the morning of the big day and the town is buzzing with excitement. Aren't you? Even the Duke is rumored to be present. He loves weddings.

There's not a single cloud on the sky and the birds are singing. Some crows too, but don't let that spoil your perfect day. Put on your happy face and head to the church so you won't be late. Well the actual thing is in the evening but still. It's an event you simply cannot miss.

[ mission: attend the wedding and work on breaking the curse.
+ soundtrack. ]

Drag the grooms out of their hiding places and get partying! Everyone is at the inn already!

BACHELOR PARTY!!!

[ mission: midnight drinking post. oh and the curse... ]

The wedding is tomorrow!

Do what you gotta do. Decorate the church, decide what to wear, buy a gift for the happy couple, bake all the things... throw a bachelor party?

Oh and don't forget to water the apple trees. Never do that.

[ mission: work on breaking the curse or go through the symptoms if you've already gotten started. ]

Rough day, eh? Time to head home to your loving spouse or to the inn to meet with your best mates. Anyway, the day is done. It was a long one too so make you sure you have a good night's rest because tomorrow is not going to be any easier. The duke wants the town to look absolutely perfect for the festival.

If you don't feel like sleeping just yet I hear the inn is running a small darts tournament. The food is bad and the rooms are small, but at least the alcohol is good. Apple cider all around!

[ mission: so about that curse! in order to break out of your curse you'll be needing three triggers or one big one. more information & examples here. hold your horses though, you aren't supposed to break free in just one night. ]

It's a morning like any other in this quiet little village, people waking up and getting to work. It's going to be a busy day, everyone's preparing for the village festival and the upcoming wedding. On top of all those special chores you'll have to do your usual work like every da-- no wait a second! What the hell?

Looks like there was something funny in those apples after all. You've all fallen under a curse that has made you forget who you really are and where you were headed. Everyone has acquired a curse identity and you now believe you've been living in Apfelstrudel all your life. No one knows the details but for some reason they don't matter. To an outsider things might seem a little bit weird, but to you it's normal. There are apple trees everywhere, children might look older than their parents, but you don't care as long as no one brings it up...

But we're getting ahead of ourselves! Get back to work and earn some bloody money because the taxes are high. Most of the money you make goes to the duke who founded the village. You don't mind though because he's such a great guy and you love this place. He lives in a castle on top of the hill but he's such a busy man that you don't wish to bother him with the festival just behind the corner.

[ mission: the details on how to break the curse come later. meanwhile concentrate on finding out about the new you. here some details about the curse. think of it as a fairy tale AU. ]

The rain stops eventually and you find yourself in a forest much younger than the one you just walked through. The moss is nearly gone and the sun shines through the branches.

They're not just any other trees. They're apple trees! Cute, right? Judging by the (somewhat) straight lines someone planted them. Underneath the trees you find baskets full of freshly-picked apples and since you can hear voices, the people who picked them aren't that far away. The map isn't showing any tracks of your next destination yet, so you might as well ask if they know of a B&B nearby.

[ mission: inspect the voices. ]
