Success

Making a little splash

Copper pots rattle against their stalls as you pass. The Clay Men crowd around, listening to your stories and observations[..] You try a joke, and are rewarded with a ripple of Clay laughter[..] People are starting to take notice.


Failure

Mixed signals

Clay Men aren't the easiest sorts to read. Are those expressions polite interest, or are you genuinely making an impression here? A pair of copper lanterns crash to the floor as you pass them. Is that good?
