[PI] You are a dragon with a problem: your hoard is full of treasure and you can't fit any more in. You don't want to just throw it out, but moving it all to a new cave would be a pain, so instead you decide to invest it in a local kingdom. Whether the king likes it or not.

[WP] A little known fact is that when under a truth spell, you can simply ask “why” they need to know instead of being forced to answer. You’ve already gone through 3 inquisitors, and the fourth looks like they are about to burst a vein.

[WP] "We have once accidentally payed the dwarves 2 coins less than agreed, and we barely managed to convince them to not declare war for it. But humans? Whenever humans make a similar mistake, the dwarves just laugh it off! Why?!?"

[WP] "Huh, apparently two more people exit the mall than enter. Each day." "What?" "Yeah, remember the people counter system we installed on the CCTV system?" Just as Jim was about to dismiss it as a bug, Mike, the senior admin said: "You two idiots installed WHAT?! Quickly, delete all logs! NOW!"

[PI] You served as a paladin. You saved the world, but crossed a line. You fell. You denied repentance, you didn't think you deserved it. You go home to be a farmer. 50 years later goblins attack. You pick up your sword. Againn, it glows with divine might. But not the god you served before.

[WP] Several "silent protagonist" type adventurers are getting on the guilds nerves with their refusal to speak, so in an attempt to teach them a lesson the guild leadership forces them to team up. Much to the guilds annoyance they all manage to work together flawlessly in spite of never speaking.

[WP] “You call us livestock, but you don’t treat us like livestock. You don’t make sure each of us has been fed, you don’t protect us from predators in the night, you don’t help deliver our young or tend to our ills. You’re not a farmer, you’re a parasite, and we will deal with you accordingly.”

[WP] The Goddess of Death appeared to the party of adventurers, the Bard stepped forward and said "We won your game, you have no claim on us". She smiled "Yes, you won. But a member of your party did more than that. He courted me, sang to me for you. I've come to tell him that he's a father."

[WP] “You revived and saved many people, using a bit of your life force every time, you’ve broken the Imp’s Rules of Life, your response?” “I-I… tried to do good?” “Oh no, you’re not on trial for that, you’re a total fuckin’ sweetheart. No, we just gotta figure out a proper paradise for you, hun.”

[WP] You ran with tears in your eyes, legs screaming in protest, lungs burning, but it was all for nothing. The monster was closing the distance. "RUN FASTER IT'LL CATCH US!" The eldritch abomination yelled as it picked you up and began sobbing, still sprinting.
