The Curse Of The Gold Coins Pdf Download

Andrew, Eli, Gerri, and Connor, stop reading or be forever cursed with failed saves. Long story short my party was clearing out a series of tunnels made by a dark wizard trying to summon demons and on a spur of the moment decision I changed the loot room to the shrine of a demon prince with a (almost literal) ton of gold. They figured out pretty quickly that the gold was cursed but it is a small fortune so they took it and now the players can buy whatever they want in the worlds largest port/market (also part of my homebrew). So far I've failed them on one or two checks that would normally have passed and given them nightmares but I'm drawing a blank on how to ramp it up from here. As they spend more and more without making an equal offering at the shrine to end the curse I was thinking I would give them stuff like boils/plague/leprosy and make all the NPCs react accordingly or even have random demon spawns that get stronger and stronger until they have to fight a pit fiend and (almost certainly) all die. After that however I can't seem to come up with creative ideas to punish them. Any and all help is massively appreciated.

Leano and her sister Pelonomi have a problem. Theyre going to be kicked out

of school for not paying school fees. Their mother seems unwilling to do anything

to help them because shes convinced theyre cursed. She believes all the women

in their family are cursed because the long-dead Mojewa, the girls great, great

grandmother, stole three gold coins from her own mother and the ancestors are

punishing the entire family for her evil deed.

To make matters worse, in the middle of everything, Leano starts slipping back and

forth between time one minute shes in her village of Serowe and its 2008, and

then with a blink of an eye shes back in 1902 when Khama the Great is preparing

to leave the Bamangwato capital of Old Phalatswe. It is in Old Phalatswe that

Leano meets her great, great grandmother, Mojewa, and discovers a terrible secret

Mojewa was wrongly accused!

Now not only must Leano solve her own problem about paying the fees so she

and Pelonomi are not kicked out of school, but she must also help Mojewa

prove shes innocent and rid the family of the terrible curse once and for all.

The Treasure of Corts, also referred to as the treasure of the Isla de Muerta, was a cursed treasure, consisting of 882 identical pieces of Aztec gold in a stone chest. It was known to be buried at the Isla de Muerta, an island of the dead located in the Caribbean.

According to legends, the Aztecs delivered the chest to conquistador Hernn Corts as blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon with his armies. But because the gold fueled Corts' greed, the Heathen Gods placed a curse over the gold: any mortal that removes a piece from the chest shall be damned. The curse could be broken only if the plundered treasure was restored in total and a blood debt repaid. Only Hector Barbossa's crew of the Black Pearl were able to successfully find the treasure, though they would later regret it.

In the early 16th century, during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in Mexico, the Aztec rulers placed 882 identical pieces of Aztec gold in a stone chest which they gave to the conquistador Hernn Corts as "blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies." But instead of satisfying Corts, it merely fueled his greed. In response, the heathen gods placed a curse upon the gold: any mortal who removed a piece of the gold from the chest would be punished for eternity. The only way to lift the curse was to return all the Aztec gold pieces to the chest and a blood debt repaid to the heathen gods. Ultimately, the treasure of Corts would end up in the caves of Isla de Muerta, an island of the dead that could only be found by those who knew where it was.[3] According to legend, after a ship carrying the treasure ran aground on the island, killing all but one of its crew, the lone survivor hid the treasure ashore before dying himself. Ever since then, the dark magic of the treasure cursed the island itself over time.[5]

Two years after becoming captain of the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow showed up in the pirate port of Tortuga with his compass and intended to find the treasure of Isla de Muerta with a crew, including his first mate, Hector Barbossa. Jack Sparrow had heard rumors that the treasure was cursed, but his crew mutinied and marooned him before he could take his share of the gold. Upon first hearing the "ghost story" about the cursed treasure of Corts from Jack,[8] the crew ended up not believing in the curse themselves, with Barbossa himself having said, "Ridiculous superstition!"[4]

Using the bearings acquired from Jack Sparrow, Captain Hector Barbossa and his mutinous crew were able to find Isla de Muerta as well as the Aztec stone chest within its caves. Having found the treasure, all the pirates summarily took all 882 pieces of the treasure, including Barbossa's pet monkey, unnamed at that point but later named "Jack" after their former captain.[8] Even though each member of Barbossa's crew knew about the curse, they didn't believe it, but the removal of the gold pieces was an act which the crew would later regret. As they went carousing, spending and trading all the gold on drink, food, and "pleasurable company", the pirates became aware of the curse they were under. The delights they'd obtained no longer gave them pleasure, nor satisfaction, and they appeared as undead skeletons when they stepped into the moonlight. Finally aware that the Aztec curse was real, Barbossa's crew returned to Isla de Muerta to find a way to end their punishment. There, they found out that the effects of the curse could be reversed only when every last piece of the Aztec gold was returned to the stone chest from which it came.[3]

It wasn't until William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner was sent to the depths that the crew learned of an additional requirement: that all who stole from the chest had to pay the heathen gods in blood, which now seemed impossible with Bootstrap lost to them. But a chance of hope lay with Turner's child, who had both his gold medallion and Turner blood in his veins. Thus, Barbossa's crew set about, attempting to reclaim all 882 pieces of the treasure.[3]

Ten years had already passed since the cursed crew started their quest, having collected all but one of the gold pieces and had already given their blood to the gold. However, the crew still needed the last coin as well as blood of Bootstrap Bill Turner from his only child. Days after Barbossa's crew led an attack on Port Royal, the Black Pearl arrived to Isla de Muerta. At this point, Barbossa's men had obtained the final Aztec gold medallion from Elizabeth Swann, whom they believed to be a descendant of Bootstrap Bill. Standing with the treasure in the caves of Isla de Muerta, Barbossa used Elizabeth to perform the blood ritual to lift the curse. However, after the ritual was performed, the entire crew didn't feel any different and realized that Elizabeth was not the child of Bootstrap Bill. The crew then began to argue amongst themselves on their unsuccessful attempt to lift the curse until Barbossa realized that Elizabeth had taken the medallion and escaped to the Interceptor. With the help of their old, left for dead captain Jack Sparrow, the crew was able to catch up with the Interceptor and retrieved the medallion.[3]

By the time the Black Pearl returned to Isla de Muerta, Barbossa's crew had Will Turner, the true descendant of Bootstrap Bill Turner, as their prisoner. Entering the caves of Isla de Muerta, Barbossa once again aimed to lift their curse, this time with the intention of killing Will Turner and using his blood in the ritual. But before they could perform the ritual, Jack Sparrow interrupted, warning Barbossa's crew that the HMS Dauntless was offshore waiting for them. To make his point of attacking, Jack picked up a handful of coins from the chest, then dropping the coins one-by-one back into the chest, the clink of gold hitting gold emphasizing Jack's words. Barbossa then sent all of his crewmen for attack, save for three men.[3] But only Will saw Jack slyly slip one coin up through his fingers. Having anticipated the battle to come, Jack figured as insurance he might as well make himself immortal just in case.[8]

Barbossa, Will, and Jack waited in the caves for the slaughter to end, until Jack tossed Will a sword to fight Barbossa's men, while Jack dueled with Barbossa. During their fierce battle around the treasure cave, Jack revealed to Barbossa that he was cursed; having secretly palmed a piece of the Aztec gold. Though they were both immortal, Jack and Barbossa continued their fight through the caves. After Will defeats the pirates, with the help of Elizabeth Swann, Jack cuts his hand, putting his blood on his piece of the gold, and threw his coin to Will. Jack then shoots Barbossa in the heart just as Will dropped the last two gold pieces, with his blood on his coin, onto the chest, thereby lifting the Aztec curse. Becoming mortal once more, Barbossa dies.[3] ff782bc1db
