>>5359018>>5359025>>5359027> 3 SUCCESS: Competitive Pricing. In addition to securing a reliable translator, they offer a bargain rate to and are most accommodating in the provision of their services. -1 Sequin & bonus to subsequent Persuade Roll.You secure the services of a translator that seems legitimate, in fact they practically fall over one another declaring their trustworthiness and accuracy undercutting a less savoury hawker. You’re confident enough that they are competent in their role, not out of any sense of honour but they appear dreadfully conscious that word-of-mouth from satisfied customers is more important in the long run than a quick coin in the short term.
Still you hope that your purchase of their services, the equivalent of near a weeks wages for a butcher or tradesman in some places, goes beyond literal translation and provides your intel with some context.

0 = Misleading guide. In spite of the translation, you are misled as to the significance of certain parties and their roles in Langlish society.
1 = You get what you pay for. While the literal translation maintains its current accuracy, your purchase of their services did not extend to explaining matters beyond that.
2 = Some explanation. You are given some insight into who is who and the significance of certain characters, but how such sides interact with one another and where exactly the lines of allegiance are drawn you will have to figure out yourself.
3 = In the Know. This translator clearly makes it his business to not just offer literal translation but also keep abreast of the flows of Langlish politics and explain it in a manner understandable to an ignorant foreigner.
Double Pass = I’m Sir Emile Andrei and this is my favourite stall in Capara (reduction in random later purchase). +Favour bonus. 3 rolls of 1d100. You have TWO re-rolls. NEW ROLLERS PLEASE.
