Conditions:

Result:

You missed
In your stroke of overconfidence, you made a grevious mistake with your first swing! The man dodged your sword, that scared sobered him up instantly. He threw all the chairs and vats he can catch and fled downstairs in a panic, shouting something when you barely escape from what he threw. You knew this was no longer a good opportunity for an assassination, so you had to scamper.



But did he see your face clearly just now? You don't know... That may lead to some troubles.

Action:

Extra

You bring news of the vineyard owner's death to Fatuna. The shadow that has loomed over her for so long finally dissipates. She exhales, slow and deep, and a relieved smile flickers across her lips. She thanks you and pays you handsomely.

Conditions:

Result:

Fatuna steps closer. Her fingers brush against your armor, wiping away a smear of blood. She asks you softly if you are hurt. You lower your gaze and tell her the blood is not yours, that you are well. Yet she does not release your wrist. Something unspoken coils between you... You wonder if you should allow it to grow.

Conditions:

Result:

The Sultan's Game absolves you from blame
Words of the commotion at the House of Delights quickly spreads among the nobles. You pull out a Bloodshed Card before they could utter more words of condemnation. They immediately shut up. Thank the poor unfortunate guy! He died so others may live.

Conditions:

Result:

Fatuna defends you
The commotion at the House of Delights spreads through the noble circles like wildfire. The nobles murmur, disapproving of your crude interference in their affairs. Fatuna stands before them, fearless, denouncing her brother-in-law’s insolence and praising your righteous aid. But the crowd sees only the curve of her lips, the weight of her wealth. As for the man who sought to ruin her? Well. He has only done what any men would have done in his place.

Conditions:

Result:

It's basically settled
The vineyard owner staggers from the House of Delights. Drunk on rage and wine, he gathers his men and storms to Fatuna’s doorstep, voice raw with fury. That woman! She dares to make an attempt on the life of her husband’s own brother! He only wanted a little money... And besides, why shouldn't his bother's woman also be his?



Fatuna watches this foaming joke of a man, her face impassive. She lets him rant, lets him unravel. And so, by the time the sun rises, the whole street has learned of what this ludicrous man has done. For goodness' sake, there is of course nothing shameful about what he has done, but how could he speak of these things in the open?



Having lost face like that, the man soon leaves the city. An acceptable outcome, all in all. Though the nobles still glance at Fatuna with knowing smiles, she does not care. She remains grateful for your help.
