Manor Hill: 

a routine party goes terribly awry when the dancefloor goes
south and you wake up trapped in the sprawling mansion on
the hill. pursue a romance with the eclectic guests
while you search for a way out; and try to discover why you're
there in the first place.

Bad Ritual:

your already high-risk/low-reward job gets about thirty 
times more dangerous when you inadvertently
release an ancient archdemon into sanctum city.
armed with only a recent promotion and the begrudging
support of your enigmatic boss, it's up to you
to decide what to do with siruud the devourer.

Hybrid:

long ago, the world stretched out its leafy green arms and 
strangled civilization for eons of misuse. she took herself
back; and now, there's you. this is the only life you've ever known
and after a violent raid destroys your farm, you set out to
find what's happened to your only relative; but you find that
the while the world looks the same as it always has to you, the
people therein are not like you.

Distance & Mirage:

laurel went missing when the two of you were just dumb kids,
out past curfew in the lonely desert. you've been searching for
answers ever since, and now you've found them in a too-cold office
building in the sweltering heart of the desert.

DEVOTION

a long struggle ends today: you are the Iron Consort, partner and
oracle for the Iron Scion—your wife, Drusa. The two of you have
been locked in a prolonged war of succession against her uncle, and
thus far your powers have kept the two of you one step ahead of defeat.
The battle today will decide your fates.
