"They took his hands, you know, figuring that would stop his crimes. It didn't. Tacked his strange hands, with those unnatural fingers, to the town's notice board. Left him to bleed out in the streets, they did. Figured that would stop him too. It didn't.

The first thing Long Fingers did was steal his hands back. Though, they still ain't attached the stories say. Then he stole the town elder's every last coin. Then their livestock. Then their children. Then their lives.

Folks whisper he still haunts us to this day, ready to lay low any fool overflowing with coin and arrogance. Though, truth be told, the spirit only cares about the treasure. It be the poor folk that like to imagine he wouldn't rob them of their coppers and take their life too for good measure. The restless don't got morals, just dark desires that drive them."
