Alrighty, my page for Extra Life on Nov 7th & 8th is now up. Most of the rewards don't go live until game day, but some are available now. This is Team SENSIBLE SHOES' 10th anniversary, 10 years of doing this for my birthday, so there's a special list of heroes to pick from for us. For the kids!

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see a dragon sitting on a pile of treasure. A speech bubble pointing off panel reads, “Dragon, why do you have all this treasure?”
In the second panel we zoom in on the dragons face. He simply says “shiny”.
In the third panel we pan to the left and see that there is a crow standing next to the dragon on the treasure.
In the fourth panel we zoom in on the crows face. He says “hell yeah”.

"Mum, look!" She ignited the fire by pointing at it. "Ah. You are a sorceress. I did wonder." "Why?" "You're the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter." "I don't have six sisters. Or aunts." "They died. Most children do." "Oh." "Now, what will you do?" "I'll make sure no child dies."

You clearly were allowed to stop petting long enough to take that picture. True helping would have at least one hand mandatorily occupied with pets.

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, it's magic."
