Summary
Bernadette Kartwright and her loyal companion, Luther, are members of Whitestone Rifle Corps, and Bernadette takes her role very seriously. She's on a nightly patrol when she discovers something that would change her life forever. Now, she's on the run to protect what matters most, Whitestone, and the de Rolos. She sticks out like a sore thumb in Wildemount. She has no home, no money. Only a rifle slung over her shoulder and Luther beside her. That catches the eye of a certain suave Tiefling who plays a flamboyant showman for a traveling circus. Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities could use someone like Bernadette Kartwright, or better yet, someone like Trick Shot.

Summary
Lucien regards Essek. “You know I steal things for a living, don’t you? You know I’ve got a few dead men to my name, too?”
“I am aware of these facts, Mr. Tavelle. I considered them to be among your highest qualifications for this job.”
“And yet you came here alone?”
“...Yes?”
Lucien digests this. “Okaaay. Well, how’s the pay?”
“200 gold."
Lucien bursts out laughing. “Nope! Nope. Absolutely not. Do you think I was born last night?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Lemme get this straight.” Lucien leans forward, staring Essek down. “You’re telling me you came to a distant kingdom, arranged to meet a known criminal in a bathhouse, and thought nothing of stripping nude for a parley—but now you’re telling me that you need protection for your meeting with some spook? You’re dangerous enough on your own, my friend. If you’re in the market for a merc, it’s because you are about to walk into some fucked up, unsound, insane shit—and I’m not getting flayed alive and broken on the rack for 200 gold. For 500 gold? Sure, fine, that’ll get you some light flaying, maybe a turn or two on the rack—but not for 200.”
Essek sighs. “Do you prefer it in gold or platinum?”

Summary
“What did he want?”
Astrid doesn’t reply, only crosses her arms over her chest. Discomfort prickles over the back of Bren's neck, burning along his arms. “Was it the homework? The equation must be wrong somehow, I’m still trying to figure it out—“
“No, nothing like that,” she whispers quickly, voice catching in her throat. “He just wanted to talk to me. Can you… can you turn around while I change?”
⤷ or: bren, astrid, and bodies.

Summary
Ludinus Da'leth is a collector of fine things. He enjoys beautiful artwork, ancient artifacts, and powerful magic. It's quite fortunate that the Kryn traitor presents him with all three.
Immediately post the peace talks, Essek finds himself whisked into Da'leth's personal demi-plane, stripped of everything that makes him who he is, and dragged around on a silver leash like a treasured pet. There must be more to this, this game that the Martinet is playing, but none of it makes sense. With the Assembly's hands on him, will he be able to maintain his grip on the last dredges of his sanity?

Summary
("Of course, sir," Bren answered, immediately sitting in the offered chair. It was higher than he was used to and, even with his considerable height, his feet dangling made him feel like a child. Desperately, he hoped Master Ikithon couldn't see him squirm. "What was it you wanted to speak with me about?"
"Well, as I'm sure you know, you're very bright," started Master Ikithon, almost conspiratorially, his eyes twinkling. Bren ducked his head, embarrassingly pleased by the compliment. "Top of your class, you'll be a credit to our great empire one day."
A credit to the Empire. The words rang through his ears. It was all he had ever wanted, to help people and protect them. That dream seemed so close he could almost taste it, sending shivers of excitement down his back. In spite of himself, Bren glowed with pride. If Master Ikithon, one of the most important people in the whole of the Empire, thought he would make something of himself then he couldn't let him down.)

Summary
Why was he even here? He wasnt academically gifted in any sense of the word, and yet, Mollymauk Tealeaf had his application accepted. To be the assistant to the top Professor of the Academy no less. He just hoped that he could fulfil the duties that would be required of him. If in doubt, Mollymauk knew that he had the gift of the gab, and could just pretend to know more than he actually did. It worked usually, especially around stuffy old academics that would visit him late at night.
So why was he so nervous to mess up?

Summary
In another life, Caleb Widogast never broke. He simply cracked, warped but not destroyed. He learned to be quiet, useful, loved, in a way that hurts the least. He’s got his life figured out, and he’s just fine with how it’s going.
Then a band of mercenaries called the Mighty Mess come looking for help with a cursed ring. They need the help of the librarian who knows entirely too much about magic.
They probably should have stayed cursed.
