[WP] Pain erupts in your hand and you reef it away, staring at the man who has just cut your palm. Ignoring you, he smears your blood on a slide and looks at it through a microscope. On the overhead screen, you see your red blood cells look more like blue fried eggs. “Found you,” he purrs inhumanly.	11
[WP] Your adventuring party of four has spent a year locating the genie. When he forms before you, he tells you, “It is not three wishes per person. It is three wishes per group. That being said, what is your first wish, oh great masters?" Three wishes. Four adventurers.	11
[WP] You’re a broke opal miner in the Australian outback. You’ve searched for years and right now any colour other than potch would be welcome. You find a vein of black opal, so rich in colour it’s breathtaking. The seam is worth millions. It’s embedded, you’re alone, and piracy is a thing.	11
[WP]You’re an android of the future, abandoned in the later part of the 20th century. For years, you’ve passed yourself off as human until something knocked you offline. Your backup settings mimic basic life signs, but when you come back online, you’re in an ambulance. That’s a lot more problematic.	11
[WP]You’re a homicide cop. During a family BBQ, you notice your 6yo niece is nowhere to be seen. Her parents are the hosts so you take it upon yourself to track her down to her treehouse. She’s using a scalpel on her toys. There’s an eery parallel between what she’s doing and your most recent cases.	11
[WP] Your grandfather died a billionaire. You walked away from his controlling ways decades ago and made your own fortune. Everyone sneered at you for not toeing the family line.

[WP] Your shredded body aches. Pain clouds your mind, making you nauseous. It feels like it’s lasting forever, but then it is done. The spell you saved a year for is complete. You open your eyes, excited to face the future. As your vision adjusts, you realise you should have read the fine print.	10
[WP] Your family has owned a bar in the US that was opened decades before prohibition. As a kid, you crawled over every inch of the bar, finding the hidden speakeasy and walled-off tunnels that you were told went to prominent buildings in the city. Today, you decide to take those tunnel walls down.	10
[WP] You’ve been saving up forever for your first high-quality drone and it is now finally in the air. The camera quality is great. You zoom it through the air, pretending to be a bird. Until you see three guys in suits placing what looks like a body wrapped in black plastic into a hole.	10
[WP] Your party was hired to locate a lost pirate captain’s eye patch but warned not to touch it. Having found a veritable treasure horde along with it, you’re all filling your pockets as fast as you can. Your best friend has his back to you, and when he turns, he’s wearing the captain’s eye patch.	10
