Gloom: avante en garde

[idolpro]

[The old-fashioned writing desk in the center of the room carries several blank pieces of paper, a fine wooden pen, and a piece of parchment covered in writing. When you take a look, you find the following epigraph in a vibrant scrawl:]

Congratulations, future wordsmiths, and welcome to your first exercise in the creation of a true masterwork of tale-telling. This evening you'll be penning a terrific tragedy, starring the family of unsympathetic ne'er-do-wells provided to you.

Your goal? Why, to construct the best story your mind can conceive, of course - and make their lives as entertainingly miserable as possible before writing one of them directly into an early grave.

Alright... well, for starters-- if anyone would have a butler, it's our princess. So we can write her in for betrayal.

That just leaves more ghosts and some wasps... Since we have the one guy out in the wild with the fungus, we could put the wasps there...

Yeah, sure, whatever, sounds good. I mean, it's not like the story matters –– just the points on the cards.

Right. In which case we'd be smarter going for the largest points value. Which would mean... the ghosts. We already used those on our Demon Lord so I guess that would leave our accountant.

Does it matter which character we pick?

Probably not. It would could fit into either story so-- I'll stick with the accountant.
