[WP] You stand on the seat of your chariot. The crowd's roar echoes through the arena. The Coliseum is full tonight, and the sand already smells of blood. Also, it smells of burnt rubber, gasoline, and gunpowder. You sit back down in your 'chariot' and start the engine. You are a Gladiator.	373
[WP] You make yourself some alphabet soup, but when you go to take your first bite, the word 'RUN' is spelled in the center of the bowl. You scoff at the coincidence and stir the soup. The way the letters settle, they say 'SERIOUSLY. GET OUT OF HERE NOW. RUN.'	359
[WP] You were a powerful wizard once, but were bested by an evil rival. He magically merged you with the hedge-maze surrounding his tower. Unable to leave the confines of the bushy walls, you can only try to help other adventurers who come to face the evil wizard. You are the Hedge-Mage.	354
[WP] "How can I be so calm? When you look at that horde of zombies down there, you see an impenetrable wall of rotting flesh. I see a mosh pit. For you, it's the end of the world. For me, this is just Metal Fest 2023. Follow me."	345
[WP] You are part of a maintenance team that scrubs down and washes interstellar ships between voyages. While working through the cargo compartment doing your mundane duties, you find a smuggling compartment that is still full of contraband.	345
[WP] You are investigating the disappearance of an entire class at a local school. You come across documents that imply a science teacher was running some kind of experiment involving the kids.

[WP] An old, lazy wizard is assigned to take on a pupil against his will. He totally half-asses the job of teaching, and gives the kid pointless tasks.

[WP] Everything matched the prophesy, so they double and then triple checked. It was undeniable; they had located the Chosen One, but he was not amongst the human settlements. With hesitancy the entourage forayed into 'monster' territory, toward an Orc settlement where the 'Hero' had just been born.	318
[WP] You've just saved the city for the 4th time, which is a miracle since you're just a normal person. Two months ago you donned a cape for a costume party, but the knot you tied was really complicated and you can't undo it. You were too embarrassed to ask for help, so here you are...	316
[WP] A black metal band secretly incorporated ancient spells into their seemingly unintelligible lyrics. Unsuspecting fans who manage to memorize the gibberish and sing along begin invoking the ancient magic.	308
