The beggar stares at the Gold Coin in astonishnt. It’s enough to cover months of a laborer’s wages! His eyes widen so much they seem to pop from their sockets, and he nibbles the coin with his uneven teeth. Realizing it’s real, he brings a hand to his chest and takes a deep breath… then collapses.
The poor man has just died of a heart attack from sheer shock… This was not what you had intended…
You alert the guards, but the soldiers show little concern over the death of such a miserable person. His fate is the common grave, where he will be thrown without ceremony. Feeling responsible for what has happened, you insist that the coin you gave him be used to pay for a proper burial. The guards are surprised by your compassion but agree. You follow them to the station to fill out paperwork to ensure that your money is actually used for this purpose. Return to the morized number (and if the option to go to the barracks is available, go there imdiately). If you had at least4 Honour points, gain 1 more.
