Description summary:
The last two paragraphs vary depending on Dagger or Flint and on your number of Bees Caught.
Dagger or Flint | Third Paragraph |
---|---|
0 – 19 | The shadows are full of candles. The Flint are confident in their supremacy. |
20 – 29 | The Daggers walk warily, fearful of ambushes in the light. They walk in twos, knives held front and back. |
30 – 39 | There are skirmishes in the shadows; bodies mount on the tiles. You hear rasping breaths as feet run through the dark, the dying pursuing those they would see dead. |
40 – 49 | The corridors and chambers are hushed. Eyes watch from behind bars. Breaths are held; all wait for the next move in the game. |
50 – 51 | The game stands on a knifepoint. Your contribution is noted. Emissaries from the other side draw near. Which side will see you as one of their own? |
52 – 69 | The game runs amok. Figures in ragged cloaks run pell-mell through the crumbling chambers of the prison. Daggers flash; bodies fall, lights race on through the dark. |
70 – 79 | Fighting is fierce in the refectory. The Flint ring bells in the chapel as a warning, but the bells are soon stilled. The Dagger encroaches; Flint holds its cells to the last man. |
80 – 89 | The Flint shutter their lamps and carry dim rushes. Their eyes are ever wary for blades in the dark. |
90 – 100 | Blood washes the tiles. Knives are carried openly. The Dagger are confident in their victory. |
Bees Caught | Fourth Paragraph |
---|---|
0 - 49 | Your cage of bees is practically empty. |
50 - 99 | Your cage of bees buzzes. There is room yet for more. |
100 - 599 | Your cage of bees grows heavy. But perhaps you could still fit more inside... |
600+ | Your cage of bees is like a lead weight on your arm. Surely this is bees enough. |
