[UA] Suicide claims two men who shared one heart

[Niall]

Really the poor woman has nothing to do with it. It was all chance but the
events have created a magical tension and the heart is now cursed and seems
to fit the bill for a key ingredient in a couple of really nasty rituals.
Its up to the characters to stop the heart being stolen by
aromancers/thanatomancers who try everything from entering the house during
the wake to digging it up (the widow is opposed to cremation).

Or of course the players need to steal the heart for the rituals or simply
to stop it being buried and the curse entering the foodchain? A slow but
statistical rise in suicides across the neighbourhood beginning with
earthworms lying on the ground to be eaten, birds flying into windows, cats
running under cars. Of course the cemetary is next to a lake thats the main
source of drinking water for the town.
