Thinning the Veil – A Malifaux Story Encounter

Well after wanting to take part in the Wyrd Halloween Contest I finally got around to writing my Story Encounter for it after having a lot of things going on personally to find that I was  5 days too late for the contest…

Well with that being said I thought I’d put it up here for everyone to see and try out and if you have any ideas to tweek it feel free to post in the comments.

Thinning the Veil

With it being the time of All Hallows Eve and the thinning of worlds these are seen even stronger throughout Malifaux with different things happening in different parts of the known world through the breach.
