Thanks @arbitorian.bsky.social and @miramanga.bsky.social for reading my question. I'm one of those Black Templars players that plays them because they are awful at their job! The irony is really funny to me and they do look cool. Here are some minis I painted. Cheers!

I've written a new Adrian Chills story (short horror stories inspired by the Guardian columns of Adrian Chiles).

This one is called 'Coins'.

#34: Coins

A screenshot of a headline to an Adrian Chiles Guardian column. It reads 'I decided to put my change into a cash-converting machine. Big mistake.'

I only really have myself to blame, I know that now.
I had been living in the woods for about a month, in the battered one-man tent that I’d inherited from Chaotic John after living on the streets proved too much for his bronchitis. I’d always had an affinity with the forest since growing up in the countryside and being there, amongst the trees and plants, took me out of thinking about all the bad things that had happened since—all the moments that had broken me and pushed me out of any kind of regular life.
Walking down to the stream one morning for a wash, I came across the log. Moss-covered, half-overgrown, it still somehow glinted in the morning light. As I looked closer I saw that embedded in the wood were hundreds of coins, all denominations, some dating back decades, maybe even longer. It was a beautiful, unusual sight, and I wish to heaven that I’d left it as it was, but the hunger in my belly was growing and my pockets were empty and so, with my rusted penknife in hand, I spent the next hour digging them all out.
When I ran to the supermarket I found I was too early—it hadn’t yet opened. But the coin-converter machine in the shop’s lobby was accessible. I don’t know why I threw all my newly-acquired coins into the slot—perhaps just self-consciousness about how grubby they all looked, the silver blackened and scarred, as if that would somehow reflect back upon me—but in a minute it was done. The button in front of me lit up. CHANGE.
I don’t remember pressing it, but I do remember the shriek I let out as my bones began to stretch and elongate, as my jaw dislocated and pushed out, as the thick wolfish hairs began to prick out from my skin. I remember falling to my knees as my spine and ribs reshaped themselves and my claws scraped the pavement. I remember my howl to the morning air and I remember running.
I awoke hours late with blood staining my teeth, flesh beneath my nails, and the weight of regret that burdens all the accursed.
