From: A dream about a cloister


These monks are in a hurry. It would be easy to trip one of them up and swap their books with yours.


Challenge information

A matter of luck: It could go either way (success chance: 50%)

Success

Nicely done

You stick out a foot, and a monk goes tumbling. [You] help him up, [exchanging your books for his...] another one of the group turns and says, 'Yes, well. He's going to have to go North now, thanks to you.'


Failure

Oops.

You stick out a foot, and monks tumble around you [...] you take advantage and gather up as many books as you can [...] you find yourself in your favourite Veilgarden tavern. A ginger cat offers to buy you a drink. You must be dreaming.
