In Vesperra, the new exciting field of "Psychopetry" tells people that dreams have hidden meanings deep in the soul. Just hand over thirty silver for a consult.

In Bryznia, dreams are just dreams, and many would mock you for reading more meaning into them. But there is a dream dimension, full of things that sliver, and if yours are pretty bad, you may get a visit from an expert in these matters

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

Easy. Arch Baron Ronaldo True. He led the 'popular revolution' of the hard working Barons over the corrupt and unjust monarchy, and gave himself the Title 'ArchBaron'. Now his mob have taken over the church, destroying Libraries raising random Tariffs, supporting foreign tyrants etc

It's a parasite in one instance, where it adapted to living in sinus cavities, burrowing into the nerves and jangling the brain.

Brachyaderma Polyspermia. "Loreli's Fungus" not one plant but seven. It selectively poisons it's gametes to alter its genes, giving it the ability to "adapt" to where it grows. Copper usually kills it but if poisoned with it, it just randomly mutates itself so some of it may survive.

IN the classic sense, all church folk will to some degree say they have been chosen by God. But Corona Majere Has only ever chosen three People, his Saints of Dawn, Midday and dusk. When so chosen, each had divine intuition and could perform 99 Miracles between them before burning out.

And as the beatdown commenced, every other PC ran a betting pool, one player ran sports commentary.

The cleric, a dwarf with a steady and grumpy nature, has been holding the doodad, and drifts to sleep with the storm outside. Between the storm outside and being asleep, he's got -14 to the perception check to hear the sorcerer rooting around in his backpack in the night. And he succeeds.
