Curios are interactive objects found on the road or within combat encounters. Interacting with them can yield various outcomes: loot, stress, buffs, debuffs, or even trigger combat. Some curios require specific items to interact with them safely (e.g., 'Bandages' for a 'Wounded Traveler'). Collectibles are lore-rich items found throughout the world, often providing Candles of Hope or revealing snippets of the game's narrative. Always be mindful of the potential risks and rewards when interacting with curios, and prioritize collecting lore items for long-term progression.

Curio Interactions:
- Positive: Loot, healing, stress relief, positive tokens.
- Negative: Stress, damage, negative tokens, combat.
- Neutral: Lore, no immediate effect.
