Dialogue[]
“ | A great thunder spirit appears before <Dresta/Doresa> as she drums before your shaman stones. It offers the king a blessing of wrath, to increase his might in battle. <Dresta/Doresa> counsels Venef to accept; to refuse risks angering the thunder. The king muses, "Offending the spirit could be costly. But accepting might reopen tensions between our pro- and anti-crown factions." Venef's critics grumble that his indecision once again complicates what should be a simple matter.

Consequences[]
If you convince Venef to accept the boon, the thunder spirit will pour lightning into Venef's sword arm. However, it is possible for Venef to go into a self-flagellating tirade that blunted the joy that the people would have otherwise taken in the spirit's gift. Alternatively, he may have been so swayed that he remains untroubled by his decision. If so, the people is relieved and Mood may rise.
