The Killing Verse

Difficulty: Rare ♦️5

In Elizabethan times, certain Irish bards could be hired to exterminate rats with death rhymes. This calls back to an even more ancient tradition where versifiers and troubadours could kill a victim with a powerful enough satire.

A client believes such a rhymester is stalking him. He requires a counter charm to ward off these deadly verses. An erudite agent is required to research said charm post haste. The client is not only worried about his life, but the lives of others in a world where words travel fast and memes take on life.
