Rites

A Bloody Diamond Pit

This is a secret diamond mine unknown to the Sultan. The miners are gaunt, hollow-eyed, their strength sapped. Overseers crack whips without mercy, trampling those who collapse until they no longer cry out. It is plain to see: these people are expendable. To keep the mine's location secret, the workforce is meant to be consumed and then silenced. Buying slaves would be cheaper than these losses. Most of these wretches were seized from the Dark Alley by the mine's owners.

Without Mercy
Although the diamond merchant hates the idea of bloodshed, he hates the thought of being beheaded by the Sultan for hoarding mines even more...

[s4.name]'s blood makes the diamonds redder.

Conditions:

Result:

You succeeded
You overpower the guards and force them to lead you to the mine-owner's crude tent.

Seeing you—and the blood on your blade—he crumples in terror. Worthless creature. You do not hesitate. You kill him, then sweep your gaze over the tent piled high with newly unearthed crystals... Possessing this vein would yield diamonds without limit. The profit is tempting, but ownership brings terrible risk.

Conditions:

Result:

Loyal as a Diamond
The Sultan laughs aloud, even deigning to step down from the golden stair and clap you on the shoulder. "Excellent! Excellent!" he proclaims, allowing you to break this card before leading the court to inspect his newly won treasures. For a moment, you stand in the very center of favor.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You fail to hide it from the Sultan.
You are still counting diamonds in your sleep and undecided on the mine's fate when the Sultan's army surround you.

How did he learn? Perhaps his spies watch your every move, or perhaps the pit lies too close to the capital. No matter how sweetly you swear the mine is yours to dedicate to the Sultan, he smiles thinly and orders his men to take the vein into custody.

...Alas! How much gold might that have been?

Conditions:

Result:

The Sultan's spies remain completely unaware of everything that has happened here.
The mine—stained with the mine-owner's blood, the guards' blood, and the dried blood of countless laborers—now falls entirely under your control. The guilty wealth lies at your feet. You may now decide the mine's fate.
