The One With the Losses In It
Nimue does not greet you the way she greets everyone else. The warmth is the same, but something underneath it stands down, the small permanent effort of explaining yourself to people who measure a life in decades.
"Say your line for me," she asks. "Not the short one. The one with the losses in it."
She is not testing your memory. She is asking whether you still carry it, because she has met plenty who put it down somewhere on the road and never noticed the weight leaving.
Make a Social(2) check.
Success: You give it to her whole, the branchings and the gaps and the names that end without issue, and she listens the way she prays. When you finish she presses a
| Token | - | - |  | Bag - 1 Use |
into your hand and says the answering line back to you, which nobody has done in a long time.
Failure: You get partway and lose the thread, and she waits, and it does not come. She tells you that happens, and that it comes back, and she does not sound like she is being kind about it. No reward, no cost.
