Challenge information

A matter of luck: It could go either way (success chance: 60%)

Success

Death and fame

"...and as a tomb-colonist, I was of course popular in the Presbyterate. It's like being a well-loved actor. Hardly anyone dies there, so we had a certain measure of celebrity..."

Rare Success

Oh dear

Plato the cave mynah squawks, "Thief! Villain! Liar!" at his owner. "Never been further than Spite! Awk! Just read books!" The Travel-Worn Antiquarian (who is perhaps simply Worn) is so flustered you get a much better deal than usual.


Failure

Tall tales of the Elder Continent

"...and I was in the Mortality College for a while. Interesting job, although one does get tired of the monkeys. We went through three Presbyters in a year..." What is he talking about?
