Hunt an Oddly Large Rat

This furry terror has been terrorizing attics for years - they'll pay you to put a stop to it.

They've been infesting a nearby warehouse. Clear it out.

Fulfill your contract

After all that work to retrieve the legs, they better pay you for your troubles.

It's lunchtime now, and you're still hungry...

A Devilish Fedora

There's something oddly charming about the fashion sense of devils.

A Sneak-Thief's Mask

Not quite suitable for costume parties.


Ambition: Eat the Neath

You have no nemesis to speak of, nor a heart's desire. You have no wish to bag a legend, and your fingers are perhaps not as light as they used to be. What is left for you?

Always

Always

Hunger.

Well, for a start, you like eating things. Most people do. And waking up has left you damnably hungry. Now seems like a fine time to take a stroll to The Singing Mandrake.

Hunger

Why are you so damnably hungry?

A chancy challenge

You use a clever system of traps and bait to lure several of the rats directly into your cooking-pot. The fire is lit, and a lid thrown over the pot (to drown out the noise, of course). Soon, they'll be ready to eat. You lick your lips in anticipation.

You succeeded in a Hunger challenge!

Rock seems inedible. But it is a fact. Water seems cold, but it is a truth. You'll eat it, you'll eat it all. Your mouth waters as you think, and you can almost taste it now- ow. That's just a rock that you've absentmindedly put into your mouth.

A Missing Pet

A high-risk challenge

A distraught man is on the street corner, asking anyone who passes if they've seen his dog. Finding it should be good practice.

Decipher a code

A high-risk challenge

You're browsing through a bookshop when a piece of paper falls out of one. At first glance, it looks like nonsense, but perhaps it's encoded...

Clumsy Words

Write a little

You have to get started somewhere.

You spend a little bit writing about the way your walls look, and do some basic descriptions of the room you're in. It isn't productive, and the result is useless, but it's good practice.
