A short story wherein the main character is stuck in a time loop , a la Groundhog Day. But the main character has OCD to a point where they know they need to change to get out of the loop, but because of their OCD, they just can't. Plays out like a tragedy.
War of the Worlds, but instead of invading ships, a Martian meteorite crashes to Earth and begins spreading alien plant life. Midway through the story, keen observers will realize the main plant character is actually Audrey 2.
Mug of Perpetual Brew. Always contains a warm non-magical beverage (water, tea, weak ale). Refills itself only once per day. The brew tastes just absolutely awful.
Glove of Sticky Fingers. Starts with a +5 to Sleight of Hand checks. On each failure, the glove gains a thin layer of lint and hair. All consecutive checks with the glove are at a penalty of 1 less than the previous. Penalties stack.
Wand of Magic Missiles (on clearance). This wand has 7 charges in total. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the magic missile spell from it. A slight bend at the wand tip gives the wand a maximum range of 15 feet.
Mama Bibi - Halfling Grave Cleric Points to CHA, WIS, INT Spells focus Necromancy, given power through Blaze (albeit, occasionally a little off the request due to dementia and hearing loss). Fights with spells and crossbow from afar, and a slipper across the back of your head when needed.
She still speaks to Blaze. Even in the spirit realm, his ears and his mind aren't as capable as they once were, but she still dotes on him, asks him for guidance, and speaks to him every day.
We find her here, a 200 year old halfling who treats everybody like she is their grandma. They've even taken to calling her Mama Bibi, and she's leaned into the name. She is loving, caring, comforting, protecting, and is constantly baking bread and desserts for those she counts as friends.
They never had children. And anyway, they preferred the company of each other. Until Beatrice noticed that Blaze was becoming increasingly easy to anger, confused, hard to talk to. His mind and body had left him. After several years of this, Blaze gave in to old age and died on the sea.
Beatrice and Blaze sailed for decades, just the two of them on a modest boat. Occasionally, they would take up temporary residence in a town for a while, and then would go back to their home on the sea.
Beatrice grew up in a small seaside town, and often went sailing with her parents.
Once she became an adult, she went adventuring on the high seas. Along her adventures, she met a young, strikingly handsome halfling who would eventually become her husband.
