Thema: [nWoD/CtL] Proverbial Monsters

[Nin]

In der PDF werden eine Reihe von Sprichwörtern aufgegriffen und für die nWoD aufgearbeitet. Dazu gibt es dann je ein Beispiel für eine passende Geschichte.

• You will have seven years of bad luck if you break a mirror. You might just call a strange creature to you.
• Step on a crack and break your mother’s back. The monster within the earth will hear you, and your mother will break her back carrying your dead body to its grave.
• Walking under a ladder is bad luck. It may not be a ladder you walk under – or through – and who knows what you will bring through with you.
• Picking a five-leaf clover brings bad luck. It doesn’t belong to you. Its owner wants it back, and it wants revenge for your theft as well.
• Unless you were born in October, the wearing of an opal will be ill-fated. Only the Children of Autumn may wear my sigil. Those who dare to wear what is not their birthright will pay.
• All that glitters is not gold. Greed calls to greed. Those who seek to steal my treasures will become my feast instead.
• It is bad luck to completely rake out a fire on the hearth – a few embers should always be left burning. Bright and shining, you call to me and I come. Snuff out the burning guardian and I will bring you a death of burning ash for my own pleasure.
• Never open an umbrella inside a house or you will draw back luck to you. Do you mock me, you mortal of flesh and bone? Do you think I do not care for you and this house well enough? Fine. I’ll show you what a cursed house can do.
• Never take flowers from a grave or you will be the next to be in a grave. Never take from the dead, for we are angry and vengeful and have long memories

Und dann steht da noch...
