Legend
"The donations to our temple will be ten gold." You say still trying to think up which rival temple to claim you're from, fortunately the old man helps you.
"Ten gold? That's too much for an old man like me you're not from any Temple. They at least would leave me money for food! I bet you're from the Syndicate!"
"Am I now?"
"Yes! Only the Ebony Claw Syndicate would milk the poor so dry!"
You have heard of this Syndicate before during your time in the city. It's an extensive and violent criminal organization. If you weren't so dedicated to the Dark One, they might be your style! In any case, implicating them in Karnite business would certainly cause problems for their Temple.
"I don't have time for your sob stories old man! Give up the gold!"
"Alright, alright, here. I guess you're in charge of this area now. Can't say I'm happy about it, but maybe you and Karnites will kill each other and free all of us from both you thugs!"
You push the old man down after he gives you the gold and tell him to go tell his community about how this is Syndicate territory now, and if those weak minded fools of Karn know what's good for them, they'll hide behind the skirts of their precious god.
You spend the rest of the day continuing to get more familiar with the city, finding out that news travels fast. Apparently the Karnites have already found out what has happened and are extremely mad. They begin making announcements of how The Syndicate are a bunch of bloodthirsty thugs looking to take over Holgard and that the people should rally behind Karn for protection. Word on the street is the Syndicate knows someone has framed them, but the Karnites have publicly insulted them and as such that will not be forgiven without proper restitution.
Later you return to Reginald, who is not exactly impressed with your actions. Your job was to cause as much havoc as possible between the other temples, which you failed to do and possibly caused more trouble by involving the Ebony Claw Syndicate! He mutters some chant causing you to feel very sick and weak. You fall to the floor and receive multiple kicks to the face.
Lose 2 from your Initial STAMINA points and you can write down that you're "scarred" on your profile.
Immediately you try to explain that the Temple of Karn will most likely become a non-entity in the City now considering that the Syndicate will make an example out of most their priests and their flock. And the Syndicate, while not a Temple, its still a powerful entity in the city and needs to be weakened somewhat. Reginald isn't completely convinced, but it's enough to keep him from doing any more damage.
"Well, I suppose one less temple to deal with is a start and I still have use for you yet. Get off my floor and get out of here. I need to think of something that you might actually be competent in. Don't go too far."
You comply and crawl out of the room, realizing you're going to have to redouble your pitiful efforts if you hope to serve the Dark One better.
Add 6 CHAOS points for starting a war between the Temple of Karn and The Ebony Claw Syndicate.
