[WP] A derelict warship lies deserted in a low-lying swamp. Despite being there for centuries, from the distance it appears ruined, but whole. Rumours say it is cursed. Certainly, no one has ever returned from it. But it’s right there, and it’s calling to you. Literally. In your dreams.	32
[WP] Technically the fight is over and your side has won. The big bad is dead. His body buried by the locals in a consecrated grave. You’ve been paid and it’s time to move on. But your sister tugs on your sleeve and shows you the cards her tarot reading has revealed. “It’s not over yet,” she says.	32
[WP] It is believed everyone in the world has a twin. You don’t believe it until you’re brought into your new boss’ office and see yourself sitting behind the desk. Their smile says they knew all about you. “Come in, Four," They say, then clear their throat. "I mean, (insert your name).”	32
[WP] In a basement, you come across a hidden door to an old laboratory. By the light of your phone, you find a brownish smear on the wall. Looking closer, what starts as a handprint becomes a monstrous paw by the end. On the bench, you find four half-full, dusty glass vials. And a diary.	32

[WP]You're a saxophone player on your way home from a gig. As you wait for your train, you notice three kids busking.

[WP] Your party was hired to clean out an undead horde from a cursed cathedral. After a long and bloodied fight, you approach the dead abbot still skewered to his seat (expecting him to be the big bad), you notice the cursed sword that killed him has the wealthy family seal of those that hired you.	30
[WP] Growing up, you were fascinated by the heroic endeavours of the village elder in his youth. However, as you’ve gotten older, something about them isn’t quite right. Oh, he was definitely there, but his POV doesn’t quite line him up with being the hero he portrays.	30
[WP]Your adventuring party has is covered by itchy hives that you cant stop scratching. A good healer gives you each a potion vial. “It will either kill you or cure you, depending on the alignment of your last action.” As a thief, your last action was to help yourself to the local church’s donations	30
