| 2 | The Mammoth Reimbursement House: Reclaimed ivory goods pay double their value against your debt. |

| 4 | Moral Correction Bureau: Your debt is to pay for breakages you caused by some prank in your youth. You know a lot of dumb code words only you understand. |

| 6 | Flex Dining: You are blacklisted from every reputable eatery in Civilization until you pay. |
| 7 | The Constabulary Office: Until you pay off the debt you have a Loot Bounty on your head, meaning you can be stolen from without any illegality. |
| 8 | Lucky Mascots Co. You have shared ownership of a well-groomed but stupid donkey (1HP). No refunds. |
