The Cthonic Overgod don't want a messy floor, do he? They said it'd be enlightenment and magic. Feh. It's bruised knees and dishpan hands. If only I'd been a cleric, instead.", "instinct": "To serve dutifully", "moves": ["Follow dogma", "Offer eternal reward for mortal deeds"]},

A troupe of armored men and women come sauntering into town, brandishing enough magical and mundane power to level the whole place, bringing with them bags and bags of loot, still dripping blood from whatever poor sod they had to kill to get it. Dangerous, unpredictable murder-hobos.", "instinct": "To adventure or die trying", "moves": ["Go on a fool's errand", "Act impulsively", "Share tales of past exploits"]},
    {"name": "Bandit", "tags": ["Horde", "Intelligent", "Organized"], "attack": "Dirk (d6 damage)", "hp": 3, "armor": 1, "range": ["Close"], "description": "Desperation is the watchword of banditry. When times are tough, what else is there to do but scavenge a weapon and take up with a clan of nasty men and women? Highway robbery, poaching, scams and cons and murder most foul but we've all got to eat so who can blame them?", "instinct": "To rob", "moves": ["Steal something", "Demand tribute"]},

    {"name": "Fool", "tags": [], "description": "There's not but one person in all the King's court allowed to speak the truth. The real, straight-and-honest truth about anything.

Falling shy of a noble knight, the proud town guard is an ancient profession nonetheless.

    {"name": "Hedge Wizard", "tags": ["Magical"], "description": "Not all those who wield the arcane arts are adventuring wizards. Nor necromancers in mausoleums or sorcerers of ancient bloodline.

    {"name": "High Priest", "tags": [], "description": "Respected by all who gaze upon them, the high priests and abbesses of Dungeon World are treated with a sort of reverence.

    {"name": "Noble", "tags": [], "description": "Are they granted their place by the gods, perhaps? The peasant bends his knee and scrapes and toils and the noble wears the finery of his place and, they say, we all have our burdens to bear.

    {"name": "Peasant", "tags": [], "description": "Covered in muck, downtrodden at the bottom of the great chain of being, we all stand on the backs of those who grow our food on their farms.

    {"name": "Spy", "tags": [], "description": "Beloved of kings but never truly trusted.

    {"name": "Tinkerer", "tags": [], "description": "It's said that if you see a tinker on the road and you don't offer him a swig of ale or some of your food that he'll leave a curse of bad luck behind.
