Dialogue[]
“ | Your croplands flood, threatening your next harvest. Wakboth the Devil can be seen sitting in the river. Like a dam, his massive form causes its banks to overflow. Normally he cuts a swath of destruction wherever in Glorantha he appears. Now he simply sprawls, and waits, watching a slower destruction take its toll on the people of the valley.

Consequences[]
If you call on Urox, you will be prompted to select the size of your sacrifice and if you wish to risk the integrity of your shrine (should you have one) to increase the chances of success. If Urox responds, he will drive Wakboth away, and the river will safely recede. Your people will take heart in this, improving the clan's Mood. Urox always seems to respond, even with a single cow as a sacrifice.
If you alert wandering Uroxi, send a noble to look for them and their escort. You may find some who drive Wakboth away, with their leader demanding compensation for saving you. You have the option to give it or not. If you give it, they will not have to thank you, and will not, stating that summoning their god was more than enough.
