Outcome Actions

• Options:

  At a court meeting, a minister pleads for aid as disaster strikes his territory, seeking funds from the Sultan. The courtiers immediately mock him, saying he deserves his fate – years ago, after struggling with infertility, he made a sacred vow to a deity. He had promised to give up his third child in exchange for divine blessing. The deity answered his prayers, granting him children. But when his third child was finally born, a father's love stayed his hand from fulfilling the sacred vow. Now his lands suffer under divine wrath – punishment for his faithlessness!

  • op1: You must offer your second-born son to appease this divine wrath
  • op2: Bloody sacrifices must be prohibited
  • op3: I can help you communicate with the god
• Case #1:
  • Counter (7100002): Add 1
  • Counter (7100003): Add 1
  • Prompt:

    You told him it's too late to sacrifice a child's blood, as divine punishment has already been unleashed. He now has to kill two children to appease its wrath.
    
    The Sultan laughed, commending your wisdom, then commanded the minister to bring his two children immediately—he wanted to see their throats cut and their blood draining, staining the entire palace's lapis lazuli floor...
    
    As for whether the calamity on the minister's territory was averted by this sacrifice? Nobody cares.

• Case #2:
  • Card (Rationality)
  • Prompt:

    You decried the bloody sacrifice, deeming it too violent and primitive. If God were pure and benevolent, it wouldn't favor such methods. The zealot nearly jumped to argue, and you debated from dawn till dusk, growing more skeptical as you argued... What is the true face of God? If it can be defined and distorted by men, then how can it dare claim divinity?

• Case #3:
  • Rite: Conversations with God
  • Prompt:

    You suggested you could mediate his communication with God, offer a consultation, which enlightened the minister’s eyes, and he gratefully promised to reward you heavily upon success.
