An Uninvited Feast

A hedge knight's camp, a spitted boar, and an invitation shouted before you can pass: eat, drink, and hear about his tournament in more detail than any tournament deserves.

Every choice, and exactly what it pays

The odds words are contracts, not atmosphere: safe is 85%, even is 55%, risky is 32%, and every one of those numbers is fixed and tested. Fortune then bends the roll by +4% per point, clamped at ±3 points, so a good early call buys slack later and two disasters make the rest of the road meaner. Nothing here is ever certain: the check is clamped to the 5%–95% band whatever your fortune.

What the chronicle records

Stay the evening (safe, 85%)

Success: The boar is excellent and the knight, three cups in, recommends you to a lord who pays well for escorts. → Food +40, Renown +2, Fortune +1

Failure: The story reaches its fourth hour. You escape at dawn, fed and hollow-eyed. → Food +30, Fortune -1

Trade stores for his spare gear (even, 55%)

Success: Tourney-grade tack for camp food — he's cheerful, you're armored. Everyone wins except his squire, who carries less now. → Food -30, Iron +90

Failure: His 'spare' gear turns out to be borrowed. Its owner arrives mid-handshake. → Renown -1, Fortune -1

Accept his friendly tilt (risky, 32%)

Success: You unhorse him gently. He's delighted — 'FINALLY somebody worth losing to' — and pays out a wager you didn't know was on. → Iron +60, Renown +4, Fortune +1

Failure: You sit down hard in front of everyone. The boar, at least, doesn't laugh. → Renown -2, Fortune -1
