Available actions[]
1.
You travel across a manor fallen on hard times Wasting serfs stare at you from the stone-pocked fields.
Result: Skin and bone Ragged wool hangs from them. Some bear the livid red welts of barrow-sickness. Yet still they labour under the hard sun, to fulfil their obligations come harvest-time.
-2 Prosperity
→A Life of Toil
2.
You pass through a plague-village One door in three is daubed with a yellow circle.
Result: The village is quiet. The air is foul. Your companions cover their mouths and noses with the hem of their cloaks. Those villagers who aren't sick have locked themselves inside in the hope the disease can't find its way past a simple board of wood. You call for your physician.
-2 Prosperity
→Sickness at the Well
3.
As you cross the market/ride back to the castle someone jokes about your parentage He thought you'd ridden from earshot. He was wrong.
Result: Scandalous rumors "The old Marquis - this one's mother - was very friendly with the Cheery Baron. Very friendly. They hunted together often, just the two of them. Sometimes he'd spear the boar, and sometimes he'd spear her!" Silence falls across the crowd.
-2 Dignity
→Quick Wit in Low Places
4.
A coil of smoke rises over the trees There are homesteads in that direction, sprinkled among the emerald fringes of the Tirashan forest.
Result: The aftermath Fires still lick at the blackened ruin of the farmstead. The mud in the yard is grey with ash and churned by footprints. Some flee westward. Others, light and slender, circle the ruin. One of your guards pulls an arrowhead from the smoking wood. "Elfshot!" He hisses.
+2 Peril
→Sylvan Raids
Notes[]
At the start of the game before the missing merchant is found, selecting You pass through a plague-village does nothing.
