Your soul has been sundered from your corporeal form,
ejected into the cosmic void and imbued into a vessel
somewhere in the Material Plane. This could be the result of
a ritual gone awry, or it could be the meddling of an eldritch
entity. The circumstances of your situation aren't important -
your consciousness is stuck in an inanimate object.
A NEw VESSEL
You need a body. Without one, you're trapped wherever your
vessel may be. You soon discover that, from your prison,
you're able to exert your will on a passerby. By happenstance,
