I use Remarkable Magic Mud-wise to know of a special kind of mud found along this riverbank that has healing properties - I want to use it to patch up my wounds.
You also recall that in order for the mud to work, you have to pass a test set by its guardian ogre.
I want to use my Wine-Tasting to sample the trader’s so-called Kalgan red and see if he really has access to restricted vintages—in which case I must know more!—or if he’s scamming me.
You can’t quite tell from the limited sample. If you really want to know, you have to steal or buy a full bottle of it.
I’ll write a devilish and anonymous piece of satire that will humiliate the governor into resigning or make the king recall him.
The satire gets into the wrong hands, and now the governor’s seen it–and nobody else has.
Intent: I win the loyalty of my reluctant companion.
Task: I cook a delicious meal.
