         For an extra bit of tragedy, there is a cure for the disease, but it's a CA thing, and the Humakti a) doesn't know about it or b) won't ask for it or c) the local CA gyrda won't give it. The players (if they don't include the champion) are racing to get a cure, despite everyone involved, because either the trader or the champion has a different destiny (and if both destinies aren't fulfilled, it will hard on the clan). Do they arrive in time? Is it a question of honor or the lesser of two honors? Is a Humakti's honorable death in battle more important than an Issarian's last honorable deal? Isn't trading death for life another form of trade? Heh. You could have your players weeping yet.
