The Cursed Chest

A group of sailors discovers a chest at the bottom of the sea, which hosts unhappy spirits imprisoned for centuries.

The possibility of finding lost treasure at sea is always tempting. However, the price for such a find can be a lot more than what one might expect. As you narrate the sailors’ encounter with the cursed artifact, play around with themes of human greed, eeriness, struggle, and virtue. Who were these spirits and why were they condemned? Can the sailors break the curse, or will they too become prisoners of the chest?
