REFUGEVILLE

>Ask prices first on each of the four items in crumbits
>If the water is passable and not dangerous, set the grandfather and boy to a mixture of checking the water for silver for crumbits, and training Relief to hunt the rabbits across the water
>Ask Kori if she has any value on the poison berries, and if they could negotiate some poison berries and crumbits for a second of the four instead of one

Kori explains that each of the four items are of equal price, after giving an overly-detailed explanation of how the world market works and a short lecture on the principles of supply and demand. They are all worth 12 crumbits each.

The poisonous berries have a value of 1 crumbit for a fist-sized amount, but warns that holding them in one’s hands should be done carefully because the juice can penetrate skin.

The people look at the river, and considering the possible opportunity of getting more resources, test the waters. Luckily, the water’s flow is slow and it is only waist-deep. They tell Kori to wait, and they begin searching for more bits of silver as well as getting Relief to catch some rabbits.

Noon arrives, and the people manage to get silver worth 4 crumbits, poison berries worth 3, and rabbit fur worth 5 crumbits. 12 crumbits! They can get a second item today.

Take the Knife, offer the crumbits for the book on construction. You should probably build a new door, in case that can provide shelter in case of another attack.

Strategy wise we could grab the shrine, nab a rabbit via Relief, and sacrifice it to Rimewulf
All four items take a priority, but I'd agree with btp except more on....
>Fishing Rod, then do the negotiation for the shrine

The refugees get into an argument about what they should take. They compromise and decide to get the knife first, and then buy a shrine. They reasoned that with a god’s blessing, it could be just as beneficial as anything they can build right now.

Kori gives them the knife, which proves to be of high quality. They keep it in the stone house.

Kori also hands them the miniature crystal shrine. It bears a talisman, written by the monks who blessed it. They place it next to the house.



The people wonder if they should dedicate this shrine to a specific god for more powerful blessings. They try to recall the full pantheon, but can only remember the following…

Arara, the Ruined God of Fire. Though his brain was stolen by the Signet, his mind will slowly return through sacrifice, though the sacrifice must be great to replenish the mind of a god. Dedicating this shrine to him will allow the people to sacrifice for protection from fires and sunny days.

Rimewulf, the God of Dogs and Wolves. A constant companion to all who do good, Rimewulf will grant blessings to anyone kind to the canines. Dedicating a shrine to Rimewulf guarantees protection from all wild wolves and dogs, and allows those devoted to him to transform into wolves at night.

Zalana, the Goddess of Justice. She grants powerful blessings for fighting the undead and the Signet, but these blessings will only be upheld if the people do not commit the sin of taking slaves or murdering enemies that have surrendered, for Zalana despises these acts. Dedicating this shrine to her means that all undead will die at the first strike with a weapon, and the Signet cannot take anyone without them suffering casualties.

Orkonas, the Goddess of Wealth. She will only bless those who give her a piece of silver or gold every day, for that is her fee since the birth of time. Dedicating a shrine to her increases the chances of merchants to travel here and buy or sell goods. Her followers gain a permanent discount on all goods, the amount of which depends on the person selling.

Alstalti, Goddess of Healing. One of the newborn gods, Alstalti has only existed for two centuries. She grants protection from disease and the spoilage of food. She will also share the secrets of medicine to her most devout worshippers, granting them the ability to help people survive even the worst injury.

They could let the shrine remain free to all gods, but the blessings will not be as powerful… or even guaranteed to occur. The gods tend to dislike having to share a shrine.
