CARDINAL

[teamposts]

[The tiny, medieval school room you wind up in is small, and just like the outside of the house, completely run down. Dust coats the desks, the windowsills, and the floors, and the windows are so tarnished that hardly any sunlight streams through. There doesn't seem to be a door. . .

A doll-sized gallows with a cloth doll in your team color sits in front of the room. There is a series of horizontal lines etched into the base.]

Sabotage Cards

[teamposts]

[There are four cards on the teacher's desk in front of the room. Each one has a picture on one side, and a bit of text on the other. They're super old cards and look a little yellow around the edges. ..

Eraser: Erase one correctly named letter from another team's word
Trash Can: Erase another team's entire word, forcing them to start over
An eye: Check on a another team's progress (what round they're on, how many turns they've taken, how far they are in solving their word)
Arrows: Swap words with another team
Chalkboard: Guess two letters in one turn]
