@@ Line 13: / Line 14: @@

 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
-Supply Swap Heist – PCs must replace poisoned/expired packs in a remote cache without alerting locals.
+==== Adventure Hook Example: ====
-Flavor War – A black-market chemist offers taste cartridges; Federal agents want the operation shut.
