Rites

News in the Bathhouse

The warm flow of water soothes your tense nerves. In these moments of fatigue and relaxation, people are always more likely to let slip their secrets. Here, you can gather all kinds of rumors, as well as tales of unrest often dismissed by nobles with disdain – stories of bandits, adventurers, and demons.

Prior

Where's My Water
You brought the Little Crocodile to the Bathhouse just for fun, since it wasn't big enough to swallow a person yet! The Little Crocodile seemed happy too...



What you didn't anticipate was that someone, while you were turned around, slipped... certain vital parts into the Little Crocodile's mouth. He didn't die immediately, but amidst his screams and the blood causing chaos, at least three people were trampled to death...

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Madness, Sickness, and Taboos
You mashed together oil and exotic fermented ingredients, binding the mixture to your groin and thighs with bandages. In the bathhouse, the stench was unbearable. Horror filled every face as people recoiled from you. Despite your insistence that it was just a small problem, the bathers fled in panic. Days later, word spread throughout the court that you had contracted a filthy disease. Some even claimed their own rashes came from merely sharing the bath with you.



The Sultan was very pleased with the farce – after all, who would fear a man whose groin was seemingly rotting away?

Result:

The stares of people pierce your exposed skin. Even soaking in warm water, you can feel them, like a fisherman's thrown spears and ropes. When you rise from the pool, there is a feeling of more and more things tugging and pulling at you, like a voyaging ship pulling at a whale it is hunting.

When Maggie enters the bathhouse, she finds Adila sitting alone in the bath. The horrifying scars on Adila’s back have kept the other noblewomen from speaking to her. But as your wife, Maggie is not afraid of such things. She sits beside Adila and warmly praises her for her bravery as a warrior, as well as the graceful beauty of her figure. Her words earn Adila’s affection and respect. They agree to bathe together next time and plan to help each other care for their bodies with essential oils and delicate threads.
