A bell rings when you open the door and see the shop’s owner rushing to fit a tome into a small, canvas pouch. Your stares meet briefly before they shout, extending their hand, “Be gone, you…” and you find yourself standing in front of a plushy unicorn.

The corolla closes hastily. As you reach to pick it, your friends stop you, and one gently calms the flower with their magic. The sound that follows fills you all with warmth and joy. You recall adventures, crying, laughing, but more than anything, feel strength to face what’s to come... together.

You touch the boulder revealed by the torch’s light. It’s soft, and you could swear you felt a movement inside when your hand is starting to burn with pain. What do you do?

As you carefully place your steps, a loud creaking sound sends a chill down your spine. It turns into anger at your own sloppiness, however, it’s not you… but a massive wardrobe readying to make a strike.

Straight Drawer - Reaction: After a successful attack, you can mark a Stress to pin the target to a surface at Close range.
