Success
The Marigold Methods
You have learned something of the business of contracts and obligations – in other places, far away. Perhaps they can serve you here today. Although, when have they truly served anyone?
- Examination of the witnesses is to begin. (Sets Progress of a Trial to 2)
- You've gained 3 x Prestige of a Legal Case
- You have changed the terms of this trial. It is now conducted under the methods of the Marigold. (Sets Format of Trial to 30)
