Downtime
Aftermath of the tundra: A Brilliant Discovery!
After my rather chilling experience in the Syberian tundra, I resumed my day-to-day work at the church. I was doing a routine cleaning of some of the runes of the ruin under the church when something cought my eye. In the corner of my eye, I spotted a small silvery shimmer of kind of object, illuminated by a slight glow, as if it was calling to me! I rushed over and carefully dug the object out of the ground, revealing a small silver ring. I dusted the ring off to find it covered in the same runes and inscriptions that lined the structure around me. Carefully, I slipped the ring onto my finger, and was shocked at how well it fit. It was like the ring had been fitted to my finger! As I equipped the ring, I felt that I had an intuitive understanding that the ring could be used to make form a protective barrier around anyone touched by it. I believe that this discovery will be extremely useful in the fututre.

Downtime
Cooling off
After my escapade in the desert, I took some time to cool off and collect my thoughts. I tried my best to go about my days normally, but something wasn't the same. Why did I keep getting trasported to these bizarre situations? How was I getting there? I had many more questions than answers. I looked through some of the books within my church's library trying to find something that could explain what was happening, but I found nothing. In the midst of this, I recieved a package in the mail. Within it was a coat like no other I had seen before. The fabric was mystifing, a black weave of a fabric I'd never seen before. I figured whoever or whatever was sending me on these missions had sent it as a reward .I decided to put the coat on, and to my suprise it fit perfectly. Apon donning the coat, I felt myself more agile than normal. Something about the coat allowed me to dash forth with a supernatural speed, almost instantly dashing nearly 60 feet forwards. I suppose if this is the reward for my troubles, maybe it's best I don't question where they come from.
Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
