>3 SUCCESS: Congratulations, you passed! Impressed by your boldness, or perhaps intimidated, the Master of Spices attempts to pass the whole thing off as part of the test. Even without fighting the duel, you have the opportunity to cause the Merchanta significant embarrassment or to allow them to save face. Combat is avoided (if you permit).
>22 Double Pass: Imposing. The combat begins with a slight advantage to yourself. If no combat, your later choice will have an increased benefit.
Whelp, that was certainly a spaghetti’ing of my re-rolls. Since when did Emile get on top of this whole mingling with the rich and powerful business? Anons have been making bulk sacrifices to the dice gods, I know it.
It’s getting late here, and the tenor of the next content update depends very much on how anons wish to play it. This will be the last vote of this thread, I intend to start up a new thread in a few days time and (once we’ve done the verification POV choice, which I quite enjoy) we will kick straight into combat and/or realpolitik options depending on your choice here.
===================================================
>Cain will have his due. If you insist on proceeding with the challenge on the terms decreed, and win, the High Caste Merchanta will find themselves extremely embarrassed. This will elevate you significantly in the eyes of the Medusae Caste beyond another ordinary Dragon Guard. [Combat]
>All according to plan. The Divine Plan. As much as you love a challenge in honourable combat, there is some advantage to be had in having the High Caste Merchanta in your debt if you allow them to save face. Or by exposing their political overreach for what it is, without bloodshed, and still earning some recognition with the Medusae for doing so. [No Combat]
