Extra

Truth Revealed
You and Faris review the evidence together, both falling silent.

Now, there's only one answer, one neither wants to voice, one painfully obvious, one cruelly clear...

"So that's it," Faris says hoarsely, "it was him all along. No wonder this dog-fighting pit has operated so long..."

You nod. Then ask what he plans to do.

"What to do... of course I want to avenge my Luna, but behind this is - is..." he takes a deep breath through clenched teeth, "the Sultan himself! He owns everything - the entire country - yet still takes what little we have... a handful of gold, one wonderful dog... we can't possess anything he doesn't... his greed truly has no end - none!"

The conversation halts abruptly, leaving you deep in thought...

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Speechless Response
After speaking, he deflates like punctured skin, taking a moment before bowing to you.

"At least now I know the truth," he sighs wearily. "From now on, [player.name], whatever you need, I'll find a way to help."

Conditions:

Treasonous Boundary
Hearing your dangerous thoughts, Faris remains silent for a long time. Darkness flickers in his eyes - seemingly moved yet hesitant. Finally, he offers no response.

"Except that," he sighs wearily. "Except that, [player.name]. Anything else, I can help with."

Conditions:

Dark Seduction
You exploit his grief and the betrayal by his master to corrupt his soul

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You suggest finding peace through prayer
He nods, perhaps he'll follow your advice.

Conditions:

Result:

Loyalty Challenged
You reveal your Bloodshed Card alongside your blade

Conditions:

You lost
He cleaves open your chest, then your abdomen, your head... striking repeatedly, as if you embodied someone else deserving his boundless rage.

Conditions:

Action:

You won
You present Faris's severed head to the Sultan, faithfully recounting his words - cleverly omitting your knowledge of the Sultan's connection to the dog-fighting pit.

The Sultan appears briefly regretful before smiling. "I see." Moved by your loyalty, he waves dismissively, gifting you the axe from Faris's possessions.

Conditions:

Result:

The next day, he arrives at your household - a capable new assistant.
