A Penny for Your Thoughts

Blood & Sex

9S: The deathbed curse of a betrayed queen.

4S: A siren-ghoul, who entices the amorous into deadly peril.

8H: The local lord's daughter, tramping after strawberries.

JD: A band of demons, laughing and malicious, authors of debauched sensuality and corrupt appetites.

God-kings of War

9S: A genius of flame, imprisoned within a brass mirror.

4S: A summoner of illusions and diversions, mild and of good humor, but gullible.

8H: A day sacred to an oppressed slave cult, the celebration of which is punishable by torture.

JD: A vengeful and jealous god, displeased by the lapses of his followers, however scrupulously they observe.

the Unquiet Past

9S: The opening by sorcery of an ancient door, set in the earth over the crypts of some forgotten convent or monestary, until now sealed with potent spells.

4S: A market on the crossroads, full of sound and color.

8H: The son of a great tyrant, born crippled and denied his inheritance.

JD: A murderer-for-hire, luckless and in poverty, from whom the gods have turned their faces.

a Nest of Vipers

9S: A band of slavers both bold and incorrigible.

4S: One mistakenly condemned, fled into hiding.

8H: A decrier of the gods as false, unworthy of our attention, and his learned detractors, in heated dispute.

JD: A wayhouse in which plague-victims have recently stayed.
