BONDS
D20 Bond
1 You dreamt one night of Princess Ozma. When you awoke, you looked under your pillow and found a jewelled pendant (worth 500gp). Next morning you read of a theft in the newspaper.
2 A distant cousin left you a small inheritance. Take 20GP and a Strange Compass (petty) that always points towards something deep somewhere in the Emerald Citadel.
3 You carry a Portrait in a locket (petty) of a past love who disappeared in the Emerald City long ago. Somehow you know that they are still alive.
4 You found a Tiny Crystal Prism (petty) in the gutter on the side of the orad. When held up to the light, it shows visions of an unknown location. Sometimes you feel a presence looking back at you.
5 You once freed a Winged Monkey from a net. In return, it gave you a whistle (petty). Blow it, and the creature will come, once, to repay its debt.
6 You inherited an old Journal, bound in green leather. Each evening, its pages are filled with the events of the day, crassly written from the journal’s perspective. The writing is crude but accurate.
7 You protect a long-dormant family secret. Take one half of an Ancient Key (petty). They say that if joined with its twin, it opens a Gate through any door.
8 You received a Letter (petty) detailing incontrovertible proof that your parents were upper order Zuminati. The note also indicates a date and location where you are to meet the letter’s author.
9 You owe a great debt to a member of the one of the personalities of Oz and carry a Ring (petty), which serves as proof of their protection as well as your obligation.
10 You were once lost in the woods as a child. This impressed upon you the importance of knowing your way. You always know which way is north, and know the number of hours until the next sunrise or sunset.
11 A roaming storyteller once spun you tales of great treasure hidden deep under the Emerald City. You thought it a tall tale, till they gave you A Rolled-Up Map (petty) marked with an X.
12 During your travels, you met a fading hunter who asked you to deliver a message to their loved ones. Take a Letter (petty), sealed with green glue. It is addressed only to the Lady of Ix.
13 You found a wounded beast in an alley but chose to ignore it. You see it everywhere now, but only when you’re alone. It looks sad but not angry. You cannot become panicked when acting alone.
14 You promised a childhood friend that you’d bring them back a rare gift, something unique in all the world. Take a Bracelet (petty) woven from twine and wildflowers.
15 You crossed a Nome, and it cursed you with a Stone Heart. With each passing month, the stone grows heavier by one slot. Until your debt is lifted, you cannot truly die.
16 You carved a flute (petty) from a tree in the Gargoyle Grove. Your act did not go unnoticed. You cannot seem to rid yourself of the whistle either.
17 The Army of Revolt did your family a service, giving you a dried Ozumbine flower (petty) as proof. When the flower turns white, it means the favor is owed.
18 An entertainer once visited your home, filling it with story and song. He left one day without a word, leaving behind only A Miniature Lute. Something rattles inside.
19 A white bird appeared to you in a dream, holding a twig in its mouth. You awoke the next morning with the Twig (petty) in your hand. You believe it brings you luck. It smells faintly of seaweed.
20 One of your ancestors wronged Verdella, who cursed their bloodline. Your visage causes mirrors to shatter. You’ve noticed that the shards can sometimes reveal illusions.

9 Secret Market. The wealthy streets of Emerald View play host to a so-called "black" market where buyers ask no questions and the goods for sale are unlike anything in the Emerald City.

15 Is This Your Spear? Watchers in Junction are looking for the owner of a very peculiar spear with the head of a yellow diamond.
16 Water Trouble in Thi. Water pipes in Thi have been subject to intermittant blockages and rattles coming from inside the pipes have caused speculation of a rattlesnake swarm.

18 Radium Keys for Reasonable Price. Apply c/o The Daily Gozette to Pug in Bricks. Set of three.

BACKGROUNDS

1. ASSASSIN

You are a specter in the night, a fleeting shadow that slips by its prey, unseen. Each kill you make is a test of cunning and animal determination, a contest between life and death. You know that one day you will lose. You look forward to it.

Guild Membership

You belong to the Union of Marshals Undertaking Regional Defence, Extermination, and Reprisal (U-MURDER). "The Marshals"

WHAT DID YOU LAST HUNT?
d6 What did you last hunt?
1 A mock firefly, baiting water carriers with its glowing lure. Take a Mechanical Limb (d8, petty when worn) to replace the one it tore off and an Oil Can (6 uses). The limb is immune to heat and poison. Needs to be oiled daily.
2 An ice nettle, trapping and draining sheep. You lost your commission when the fungus you introduced killed half the flock. Take a Rime Seed (1 use). It freezes any body of water, no matter the size. Don’t eat it.
3 A hullahbaloo that killed someone close to you. You now carry its Tooth (petty) on a chain around your neck as a warning to others of its kind. The tooth hums softly when something is stalking you.
4 A sand elemental that buried a homestead. You saved a seed of the homestead's Lunchbox Tree. (Plant it to grow a new one.) Also, take Iron Bracers (+1 Armor, bulky).
5 A hollow wolf that had been frightening travelers. You took pity on the half-starved creature and nursed it back to health. Now it is loyal to you unto death. It is also a great tunneler. 5 Guard, 11 Heart, 13 Brain, 8 Courage, teeth (d6).
6 A fluffy warblesinger. The eggs attract a sizeable profit but have to be skilfully extracted from the mother. Take a Paring Knife (d6), an extra 20gp, and a pang of regret.
WHAT TOOL IS ALWAYS IN YOUR PACK?
d6 What tool is always in your pack?
1 Fermented Spirits Keeps you warm at the best of times and as an explosive at the worst. 3 Uses.
2 Trail Shaker A noisy instrument that reveals nearby trails, even when deeply hidden.
3 Drowse Balm A wax bar. If boiled in water, the steam acts as a soporific agent.
4 Spike and Cord For traversing difficult terrain or for creating makeshift traps and structures.
5 Iron Rattle A noisemaker for distracting or scaring your quarry. Sounds convincingly like a snake.
6 Hardening Glue Makes any flat material (cloth, leather, sand) as hard as stone. Expensive (20gp a bottle, 3 uses).

2. AWAKENED

You used to be something else, something... not alive, until you suddenly were. Since that time, you've grown to enjoy the world of the living, even if the lessons have sometimes been painful. You don't need to eat, drink or breathe like ordinary people.

Guild Membership

You are a Node of the Inter-Oz Network of Thing-People (InterNet of Things).

HOW DID SOMEONE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR NAIVETE?

1 Tricked into servitude: Someone convinced you that you owed them a debt for bringing you to life and made you work for them without pay. Take a bucket (1 Armor) and cleaning rags (3 uses).
2 Sold for parts: You were deceived into believing you needed to help your so-called friend by selling parts of yourself. You're still not entirely whole. Take receipts of sale for your parts.
3 Used as bait: A supposed friend used you as bait in a trap for their enemy. You barely survived. Take an expensive-looking costume jacket and top hat or bonnet.
4 Bogus investment: You were persuaded to invest your savings in a fraudulent scheme, losing everything. Take 3d6 fraudulent green pennies.
5 Unfair trade: You were convinced to trade something of great value that you possessed for something worthless. Take a bottle of patent miracle medicine (no effect).
6 Test subject: A wizard tested spells on you. A prismatic duplicate of you appears sometimes under conditions of extreme stress, such as combat. It has your Attributes and Guard and attacks as you do. It disappears on Critical Damage (take 1d4 Courage damage).
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT THAN ORDINARY PEOPLE?
d6 What makes you different than ordinary people?
1 Replaceable head: You can replace your head with a substitute - say, a vegetable of the right size, or a wooden block with painted eyes, or a new paper silhouette or similar.
2 Extendable limbs: Your arms and legs can extend up to twice their normal length.
3 Detachable parts: You can detach and reattach your limbs at will.
4 Animated voice: Your voice can mimic any sound or voice you have heard.

3 To the death, always: You never back down from a fight, no matter the odds. Take a Death-Whistle, 1 charge. Its scream frightens away all who hear it (save Courage or flee). Recharge: Capture the final breath of a dying warrior.
4 Revere the dead: Death is a journey we all take, and it deserves respect. Take an extra 30gp. You always place two green pennies on the eyelids of a slain foe. Somehow, you always find the coin.
5 Loyalty to the work: Your word is your bond. Once you’ve accepted a job, you see it through to the end. Take a weathered Tally Stick. Once a vow is marked onto its face, the stick hardens (d8) until it is complete. The stick will snap in half if the vow is ever broken.
6 Always pay your debts: You always repay what you owe, whether in coin or in kind. You expect nothing less from all others. Take a Blacked-Out Ledger, then roll a second time on the Bonds table.

WHAT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG?
d6 What went horribly wrong?
1 There was an explosion, and you lost your sense of smell. Well, almost: you can sniff out gold as a pig does truffles. Take a Tin of Snuff (6 uses) to dampen the impact. Use it every day or become deprived.
2 You dematerialized a beloved pet. Now it follows you around, invisible but always present. Although it cannot interact with the physical realm, you are able to share its senses. (Add a Fatigue each time.) It follows basic commands.
3 You were exposed to a long-acting truth serum whose effects have yet to wear off. The disorder has its advantages: you cannot repeat lies you’ve heard, either.
4 You were adept at creating fake gold, which is almost as good. Eventually, your ruse was discovered, and you had to make a hasty retreat. Take a heavy Metal Ingot and Gold Powder (3 uses).
5 Your alchemical recipe worked, but a rival stole the blueprint before your claims could be proven. Take a prototype Blunderbuss (d12, blast, bulky) that takes one round to reload, and a taste for revenge.
6 Ridiculed for discovering how to turn gold into lead, you were a laughing stock. Take a bottle of Universal Solvent (2 uses) that dissolves anything it touches into its constituent parts.
WHAT MARVEL IS THE PRODUCT OF YOUR LATEST INGENUITY?
d6 What marvel is the product of your latest ingenuity?
1 Pyrophoric Gel A sticky green fluid that catches fire when exposed to air. It lasts for 8 hours and cannot be extinguished.
2 Blast Sphere A head-sized iron ball filled with explosive powder that detonates on impact. d12, blast, bulky.
3 Aqua Vita Purifies any liquid, converting it to pure water. Drinking it cures 1d6 Heart. 1 use.
4 Mimic Stone Records a short phrase that can later be played back.
5 Spark Dust Ignites easily and quickly. Useful for starting a fire or as an incendiary device. 3 uses.
6 Handy Helper A miniature clay replica of yourself that follows your every command. It hates being enthralled to you and complains bitterly whenever possible. Any damage done to the homunculus is also done to you. 3 Guard, 4 Heart, 13 Brain, 5 Courage

6. FARMER

Protectors of the harvest, defense against pests, thieves, and beasts. A position of great honor, while it lasts: many farmers do not live out their natural lives. Roll a second time on the Bonds table. You are a member of the Farmers' Union.

WHAT GOT THE BETTER OF YOU?
d6 What got the better of you?
1 A voracious swarm of pests that swallowed crops and animals alike. With nothing to defend, you left. Take Gale Seed Extract (3 uses). Ingesting it lets you sprint with a speed four times your regular rate. Afterward you add two Fatigue.
2 A playful fireling elemental. The fires consumed nearly everything, and afterward you were able to gather a pouch of Fireseeds (d8, blast, 4 uses).
3 An antlered, toothy phanfasm that nearly ended you. Take a blood-stained Bone Knife (d6). On Critical Damage, its next attack becomes enhanced from contact with blood.
4 The Withering, a type of stem rot. Take a Diseased Crop (6 uses) that quickly decays any plant it touches.
5 Wheelers, or so you thought. You are now a Freewheeler [8 Guard, 15 Heart, 14 Brain, claws (d6+d6), bite (d8)]. Your Courage remains the same. You can turn to a Wheeler at will (once per day) but must make a Courage save to revert. Anyone left alive from your attacks must make a Courage save to avoid Freewheeling themselves.
6 Crop thieves. Not all of them survived, but you were outnumbered. Start with +d4 Guard and a Bowie Knife (d8).
WHAT TOOL SAVED YOUR LIFE?
d6 What tool saved your life?
1 Bloodvine Whip d8 damage. On Critical Damage, it drains the target’s blood, granting the weapon’s next attack the blast quality
2 Clatter Keeper A hand-cranked device that emits a loud noise, frightening away most creatures.
3 Sun Stick Provides ample warmth and light for up to one hour. Recharge: Leave in heavy sunlight for a full day. 1 use.
4 Root Tether When thrown, binds a creature as large as a wolf to the soil for a short time.
5 Greenwhistle A small flute that calms plants, making passage through areas heavy with plant life a bit easier.
6 Everbloom Band A circlet adorned with flowers that never wilt. On Critical Damage, the flowers dissolve into dust, but you act as if your save succeeded (Heart loss still occurs).

7. FOREIGNER

An odd birthmark, a strange smell: somehow, the touch of elsewhere still lingers. Wherever you are, you have trouble fitting in. Roll on the Omens table (even if you’re not the youngest player), but keep the results private for now.

Guild Membership

WHO TOOK YOU IN?
d6 Who took you in?
1 A park ranger. You were both quite happy, until it all ended. Take a Rifle (d8) and a Leather Jacket (1 Armor).
2 A wizened apothecary, who taught you the healing arts but maintained a clinical detachment. Take a Healing Unguent (restores d4 Heart, 1 use).
3 A country club cook, who taught you about edible plants. When it came time to leave, you took with you only a Cast-Iron Frying Pan (d8) and left a promise that one day you would return.
4 A gruff dragon mechanic from Thi. You were always kept at arm’s length. Now the garage is shuttered, and you’ve moved on. Take a Mechanic’s Apron (petty) and a Welder's Outfit (2 Armor, bulky).
5 A troupe of traveling entertainers. For a time, they were like family to you. One day you woke up and they were gone with no explanation. Take a Storybook, a Dagger (d6), and some burning questions.
6 An assistant to the Gillikin Warden. When their rules became too strict, you snuck away. Take a Purple Cloak (warm, petty) and a Spellbook of Control Plants. Control Plants: Nearby plants and trees obey you and gain the ability to move at a slow pace. Leaves grow along the spine, and it smells faintly of decay.
WHAT KEEPS BAD TIDINGS AT BAY?
d6 What keeps bad tidings at bay?
1 Pipeweed Your good luck charm. Conversations tend to flow more easily after a smoke. 6 uses.
2 Stink Jar Shattering this jar releases an odor so foul all nearby must make a Heart save or immediately vomit. 1 use.
3 Ivy Worm A green worm often mistaken for a weed. Swallowed whole, it absorbs any toxins or rot in the body before exiting through the usual way.
4 Dream Stone A smooth blue stone that helps recall dreams more clearly. Overuse can cause dream-addiction.
5 Drowning Rod A finger-sized wooden stick that doubles in size each time it is fully submerged in water. It does not shrink down again.
6 Rabbit’s Foot You were wearing it when they found you. They say it is the foot of she who left you and that it protects you from witch magic. Petty.
