Abbey

“	A little hope, however desperate, is never without worth.	„

Abbey
The Abbey is one of the Locations in the Town where you allow your Heroes to relieve Stress. The Abbey offers 3 different upgrades. Upgrading the Abbey increases the types of stress treatments and their effectiveness. Each visit comes with a 37.5% chance of a side effect, which can be either positive or negative. Positive and negative non-quirks (ie. hope, blood loss and bloodletting) will remain with the characters until they are taken on a quest.
