An adult potter accidentally traps a beginner dungeon inside her best teapot. Every cleared room improves the pottery, but the creatures living inside have their own crafting ambitions, turning a profitable discovery into a very small negotiation about whose home it is.
A village cobbler is the only adult denied a hero class at the kingdom's selection. Repairing abandoned equipment begins unlocking skills nobody has ranked, just as the celebrated chosen players return unable to face the damage their victories left behind.
