I included this option as its much less railroady than 'accept this hook or die'. You dont want to totally force hooks on the PC's if you can avoid it as a general rule.The curse happeneing [and the lady in samite] is to ensure they dont get the weapon for nothing. Its a deadly encounter so make sure you foreshadow it [via the curse] if they decide to ignore the curse, take the weapon and run in true murderhobo style.If they're mercenary enough to steal the ladies wedding ring, they pay for that greed later on in the adventure when they encounter her [mummified] husband. Bad actions have consequences, and doing the right thing gets them rewarded...The final encounter is 'deadly', so try and ensure the party gets a short rest in before tackling it (suggest they rest up as subtly as you can). If they stumble into the 'black knight' low on HP, theyre going to be in some serious trouble.</blockquote>
