[WP] An automaton thief lurking somewhere in the city is known to steal random objects with seemingly no rhyme or reason. Their goal is actually very simple - Take what they need to repair themselves. They're reaching the limits of the repairs they can perform without outside help, though.	27
[WP] It's a well-known fact that the altitude one's body can sustain in flight is tied strongly to their age. There are other factors that can influence maximum height - Poor health can ground you pretty badly, extra effort can give you a small boost. But touching the heavens is for the elders.	27
[WP] As an adventurer, identifying tree species is a vital skill. There are many practical reasons for this... The biggest one being that each species of tree has a different interconnected clade of dryads, each of which may have a grudge against you, your family, your town, your employer...	25
[WP] There's a library in the abandoned house. A single book remains intact on a table. Spattered in copious blue stains, otherwise untarnished, and untouched by the cobwebs choking the rest of the room. Simple leather binding, a title in gold leaf: "How to hit spiders with a book."	25
[WP] Your tools all have these little flashlights in them, that turn on when you use them. This is usually a convenience. Now it's a death sentence - Because that THING is ATTRACTED to light. You have to gut your tools, in the near pitch dark, just to safely fix something you really, really need.	23
[WP] The Watching Stone. An enormous black obelisk, its surface deep and translucent; pinpricks of red light float within, following every living thing near it. The denizens of the nearby village either avoid it, or pay it no mind - But a select few speak to it. Only now has it ever spoken back.	23
[WP] Throw together a narrative that is on the cusp of coherency - Almost completely nonsensical, but with just enough structure to maybe, possibly impart some kind of meaning. Achieve this in any way you see fit; a kitchen sink plot, intentional garbling, maybe just being incredibly long winded.	21
[WP] Your planet's gravity is incredibly low, so it's actually not too difficult to get into space if you know what you're doing and have the resources to build a good trebuchet. You're the 43rd person to be intentionally launched into space - And the first to make it back alive.	21
[WP] Every ship of the navy is expected to have at least one Preservator - A mage dedicated primarily to keeping the ration hold chilled and dry. The Queen's soldiers shouldn't fight on empty stomachs, after all.	18
[WP] There are seven monastic orders in the world dedicated to making sure a different ancient evil remains entombed. Each one is happy to teach people about the terrors each evil wrought on the world, and how they were defeated. You've been on a pilgrimage to each one, and you have an... Evil idea.	18
