A couple of jerks wake me up at the crack of noon. Seems my klepto uncle stole an ancient deck of Tarot cards from a high-powered wizard, and too many losers want to ruin my day to get them back.

Now the damn cards are tuned to me, and if someone else wants to use them, I have to die. Why couldn't she have led with that information?
