The Grave Robbers

Roach and Tinker are up to no good... Dreaming of riches, they began sneaking into cemeteries late at night to rob the dead of their jewels and trinkets. Rumor has it that over 300 years ago, they came across a curious ornament around the neck of a known witch. Naturally, they couldn't resist stealing the piece and began bickering immediately between them, as they both desperately wanted it for himself. That night they both dreamt of endless digging and awoke exhausted covered in dirt. This happened night after night. It wasn't long before the brothers realised that they were journeying to the cemetery every night while they slept. Night after night it was the same. As the years wore on, there was no life and death for them, only digging, and decay. To this day, they are still digging, forever cursed by the witch's trinket and their own greed.
