Interesting. I just lost a Lankhor Mhy worshipper who was either
renowed or heroic in many things and a very important figure in the
clan to a sudden, tragic snake bite. He recited a poem on his
deathbed that we shared with the other clans, bringing our magic up
by a smaller but still very large boost of 14 points. It could be
because our recent luck at heroquesting had already raised our magic
to 14, or it could be because our stiff was not quite as epic as the
one who gave a 30-point boost.
Unfortunately, I still ended up quitting for the time being. Why?
Because we had just succeeded at tribe-making in unpromising
circumstances far better than I had done in previous games during
optimal times, and the man had risen to the rank of tribal king not
five minutes before.
Now excuse me while I go find out who's the patron deity of snakes
and open a can of Earthshaker on whatever she holds holy. If there is
no such thing, we'll make one up.
