See the series overview

Need to make a choice during a journey? Search for a character or detail: sign, trap, donation, beast, treasure, mercenaries… Then make sure the offered actions match your encounter.

Scope of these answers. The information below comes from player records and community directories. The English wording describes what each action means; it is not a verified quotation of English buttons. A reported reward is not a promise for every version of the game.

Advice about Manuscripts compares only that reward, under comparable conditions. Other gains, especially Affinity, may also apply. We do not assume that the supply costs are equal: read any cost shown before choosing. Incomplete and conflicting scenes are identified without an invented answer.

Before following an answer

The same character does not mean the same encounter. Roman has a trade awarding 80 versus 50 Manuscripts and an item scene awarding 150 versus 100. A beast you can hunt is not necessarily a beast blocking the path.

An unreported outcome remains unknown. We do not infer the best answer from a button's color or how brave an action sounds.

29 · Roman

Roman: go for broke or test their nerve

2 Roman Emblems
Test their nerve

Supply cost has not been established for this entry. The exact date of the observed session is unavailable; sources were reviewed for this edition.

Your encounter is not listed?

That does not mean it is bad or rare. This directory is limited to the documented scenes selected for this edition, mainly regular encounters and the initial three Masters.

Save a screenshot of the full dialogue, choices, counters before and after, and reward. Prepare a contribution report: a precise observation is more useful than an invented answer.
