Extra

Shift Pattern
The Purist Order's Aether is stored in a vault beside their temple. No one knows its interior structure; you'll have to improvise... [s2.name] loitered around the vault for hours, finally discovering the shift-change pattern.

Conditions:

High Security
The Purist Order's Aether is stored in a vault beside their temple. No one knows its interior structure; you'll have to improvise... Unfortunately, [s2.name] only circled the vault a few times before temple warriors arrested them as suspicious - suffering inevitable physical punishment... Perhaps next time you should be more cautious.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Non-Lethal Force
The vault guards wear bright silver armor - sufficiently ornate but not very flexible. [s3.name] will delay or neutralize these "iron turtles" during patrol, allowing others to slip inside.

Conditions:

Merciful Blades
The vault guards wear bright silver armor - sufficiently ornate but not very flexible. [s3.name] should have delayed these "iron turtles" during patrol, but clearly underestimated these ornamental warriors' swordsmanship. Fortunately, nobles often provoke the Order for sport, so the guards avoided causing deaths, leaving only two wounds on their posterior... Next time, find someone more capable for this job.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Returning Paint
The door's left side shows a pure white figure rendered in diamond powder - the Immaculate Purity's common image; the right shows water rendered in sapphire powder - the deity's first action upon earth is drinking the Aether prepared by followers... Despite the door's elaborate artwork, Mahir and [s4.name] opened it with just two wires and a magnet.

Inside really is a sapphire-like pool! All Aether! Countless golden pipes fill the room; according to Mahir, the Purist Order spent years concentrating this pure magical essence from followers' daily prayers... She's tempted to dive in but dares only fill a special bottle with a small amount.

Conditions:

Result:

God Disappointment
The door's left side shows a pure white figure rendered in diamond powder - the Immaculate Purity's common image; the right shows water rendered in sapphire powder - the god's first action upon earth is drinking the Aether prepared by followers... Despite the door's elaborate artwork, upon opening you discover the pool completely empty.

Oh, who could be so wicked as to steal all the deity's Aether?!

Conditions:

Returning Paint
The door's left side shows a pure white figure rendered in diamond powder - the Immaculate Purity's common image; the right shows water rendered in sapphire powder - the god's first action upon earth is drinking the Aether prepared by followers... Clearly not intended for mortals, you cannot open this door despite your best efforts and must return empty-handed... Mahir vows she'll crack this "stupid door" next time, but is it worth risking for her?

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

God's Cup
You have [s5.name] fabricate a scandal involving the True Faith, effectively covering your criminal and violent traces. The divine door remains locked, with no one wishing to open it.

Conditions:

Result:

Blasphemy Charges
Though your crime was nearly perfect, the Purist Order doesn't need much intelligence to sense someone targeting their Aether - and few in the city would dare steal sacred objects... You and Mahir quickly fall under suspicion; though they lack definitive evidence, the High Constable will certainly investigate further.

Conditions:

Result:

The Destroyer Surprise
The door's left side shows a pure white figure rendered in diamond powder - the Immaculate Purity's common image; the right shows water rendered in sapphire powder - the god's first action upon earth is drinking the Aether prepared by followers... They wish! When Mahir and [s4.name] force open the door, Badriyyah giggles as she walks step by step into this sapphire-like pool... Let this mortal woman soil the nectar prepared for the gods!

She removes her garments one by one; the fabrics quickly dissolve like ink in the azure pool... Then her tattoos begin fading - you've never seen her like this, naked and clean.

When her hair begins falling out, she smilingly prevents anyone from approaching, mischievously pressing her lower abdomen... Urine and blood flow down her legs into the pool, followed by nails, teeth, peeling skin and organs - black organs.

As her final skeleton collapses and dissolves in the pool, the formerly sapphire-clear water has become pitch-black, churning with foul bubbles... You'd better flee quickly, before the god realizes someone has spat in its refreshing treat.
