Stowaway puts a Plinth Mouse on the board at the start of the match. It is not drawn and does not take a place in the deck.
What it drops

The deck master
Orla, Keeper of the Trolley
CathryneDelamort on DeviantArtOrla hauls surviving treasures out of rooms that are falling apart, including treasures that object to being hauled. She carries her trolley’s missing wheel around her neck and refuses to abandon anything useful. A grand title will not get you out of lifting, and being an actual portrait is only a temporary excuse.

The 15 cards, two copies of each
- Plinth MouseStandard
A mouse lives beneath a salvaged plinth and considers its hollow base her home. She defends it with small, determined bites whenever somebody reaches underneath. Moving the plinth is perfectly acceptable, provided nobody expects her to help or contribute to the rent.

- Chosen-One UnderstudyStandard
An aspiring champion has inherited a ceremonial sword and instructions that disagree about nearly everything. She tackles mundane obstacles with the confidence of someone expecting destiny to mark her work. A stuck cupboard can keep her occupied for hours, especially if somebody suggests it will open for the worthy.

- Emergency TeacupStandard
A walking teacup guards the salvaged crockery against careless hands. She takes chipped china personally and meets anyone reaching for her companions with an angry little charge. Tea service continues under her supervision, although guests quickly learn to ask before picking anything up.

You crossed the rope, so apparently we’re doing swords now.
Minion⚔ 2♥ 2Velvet-Rope KnightStandardA knight has sworn to defend the exhibition carpet and takes its boundaries very seriously. She challenges trespassers, checks where their feet landed, and insists on a formal apology for each offence. Anyone hoping to pass quietly should start by removing their spurs.

It took a while to realize the bell itself was the doom.
Minion⚔ 3♥ 1Doom-Bell ApprenticeStandardAn apprentice bellringer rescued the warning bell from a ruined tower and now carries it herself. She swings hard enough to make sure everyone hears it. Stopping the bell is a separate skill, which nearby volunteers tend to learn with their foreheads.

- Loading-Bay MermaidStandard
A mermaid occupies the seawater that flooded the loading bay. Anything floating into it joins her collection, regardless of the delivery address. She is happy to receive cargo all day, but collecting it requires explaining to an angry mermaid why you think labels outrank possession.

- Still-Life GooseStandard
A goose has escaped from a still life and refuses to resume standing among the fruit. She patrols the abandoned arrangement, hissing at anyone who approaches with a replacement bowl. Restoring the exhibit requires handling an angry goose, which explains why the pears are now being displayed alone.

- Brooding Window SitterStandard
A melancholy heroine has claimed the gallery’s most comfortable window for private contemplation. She guards her solitude fiercely, especially when the moving crew needs the opening for large furniture. Offers to carry her cushion outside are received as proof that nobody understands her suffering.

- Exhibition DuelistStandard
A ceremonial swordswoman controls passage through the fencing exhibit. She greets intruders politely, explains the challenge, and gives them ample opportunity to turn around. Her courtesy lasts throughout the fight, making it particularly irritating to discover how much better she is at this.

- Gift-Shop MinotaurStandard
A minotaur has rebuilt the souvenir shelves into a labyrinth and knows every turn. Visitors trying to avoid the merchandise keep finding her waiting beside another display. Asking for directions gets you a perfectly accurate route with several opportunities to purchase a commemorative spoon.

They measured the statue and forgot to measure the door.
Minion⚔ 4♥ 4Unveiling GiantessStandardA monumental woman has stepped off her display to help move the collection. She can carry enormous loads, but the building was never arranged for its statues to walk around. The crew keeps asking her to turn sideways, an instruction she has begun repeating to the architect.

Touch the commemorative plate and become the next commemorative plate.
Minion⚔ 5♥ 3Apocalypse Souvenir DragonStandardA dragon hoards souvenirs of disasters their original owners survived. Cracked plates and ugly ornaments receive the fierce protection normally reserved for royal treasure. She can explain the significance of every piece at length, which makes stealing one a dangerous way to shorten the conversation.

- Doorstop GargoyleStandard
A small stone gargoyle wedges herself into openings and refuses to budge. Her weight makes her an excellent obstacle, even when the people trying to pass are much larger. She is deeply pleased to have found useful work that requires everyone else to do the lifting.

- Ceiling-Dusting WitchStandard
A witch cleans the upper galleries with a broom long enough to reach their highest corners. She works from the floor and prods anything that refuses to come down. Creatures hiding in the rafters should leave before she decides the noise means a larger brush is needed.

- A Very Small CollapseStandard
A plaster cherub breaks loose from the ceiling and falls on someone below. The impact leaves dust, a damaged ornament, and an excellent reason to stop admiring the architecture from directly underneath it. Nearby visitors become much more interested in the floor exhibits.
