From: A Coin in the Fountain


The tradition is to throw a coin in the fountain and then drink whatever liquor comes out of the nearest serpent. For luck, apparently.

Game Instructions: There are four possible outcomes here, each equally likely.

Unlocked with 50 x  Jade Fragments


Challenge information

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

Success

A glass of airag

The fermented mare's milk of the Mongols. A drink of the steppes, horses, and a sky wide enough to drown in.

Alternative Success

A glass of strong rice beer

This stuff will put hairs on your chest. And hairs on your rat's chest too. By the third glass, you've stopped worrying about tomorrow's headache. But what's this written on the beer-mat?


Failure

A drop of honey-mead

The mead is made from honey. Is it prisoner's honey? What madman would do such a thing?

When it comes, the dream is of a screaming city. Bats over the domed temples. Screaming as the earth opens.

Alternative Failure

A glass of zee-dark wine

Deep, dark and marvellous. You feel ready for anything.
