** Another event has a clanwoman come to you on matters of an unfaithful husband, and wants a divorce with the dowry price as recompense. What does your Trickster say about this?
-->'''Trickster:''' Told you it wouldn't last.



*One event has a Troll warrior come to your tula demanding a duel. After selecting your most skilled combatant, the Troll declares that the duel is an eating contest: Whoever eats the most wins. Trolls are serious [[BigEater Big Eaters]]. Several hours later, the troll is full and thanks you for the "snack". Meanwhile, whoever you sent in is too full to so much as talk.
-->'''The poor schmuck you sent in:''' Uhh... Ooh...
** If you have a Trickster and send him to the contest, he happily states "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" He proceeds to do exactly that, gulping down a whole horse before it can even whinney. Then he moves on to two cows, and does the same to them. It's left unclear if the Troll is outpaced by your Trickster's sudden bout of hunger, or just too bewildered to work up an appetite.



* If you are able to successfully train Earthshakers as war mounts, at least one of ring members are will react with a simple awestruck “Whoa”. This is especially funny if it comes from a [[NotSoStoic normally unflappable war general]] or a [[SarcasmFailure trickster.]]

* If you go to [[PlagueMaster Malia’s]] ritual screen to sacrifice to her and check on on your ring members, almost all of them are inevitably (and [[DealWithTheDevil understandably]]) going to be discourage it by giving panicked shouts of [[TheDreaded “Not Malia!”.]] Even tricksters, who normally joke around even in dark situations, will [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness seriously warn you]] that not even [[ChaoticStupid Eurmal]] would dare prank Malia.

** The Ducks in general can be one for those not familiar with ''TabletopGame/RuneQuest''. Imagine the stunned face of a new player expecting a somewhat normal game about managing a BarbarianTribe... only to meet Donald Duck's Bronze Age cousins. Welcome to Glorantha, we have much weirder stuff in store.

** Tricksters, and their patron god Eurmal, are generally CrazyAwesome. What can the Trickster do when your explorers find a Dragon's nest? Teach it to gamble and swindle wealth from it! That is, [[OutGambitted unless the dragon tricks the trickster]] and takes wealth from ''you''.

** There's an event where your ancestors rise from their graves to condemn the behavior of your clan. If you can't think of anything bad you've done, try scolding ''them'' right back-- they might sheepishly admit they can't think of anything, either, and back off.
* It is entirely possible to get a ring noble who has an inexplicable hatred for and paranoia toward undead, trolls, or elves, even when they're not your ancestral enemy. As a result, everything s/he says will involve worrying about or preparing to fight that enemy, even when you're asking for something like farming advice.

->text: Clan members were sad that we had no iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. But they praised the ring for finding another way.

The game says "Removes his clothes and enters the mountain, literally mating with the earth." It doesn't say "then literally mates". There's a difference. Grammar matters.


* One of the deeds your king must perform to impress the Feathered Horse Queen is to "mate with the earth". How is this achieved? [[spoiler:By taking her words ''literally''! The king actually drops his pants in a cave and fucks its wall.]] And if your diviners are powerful enough, they will advise you to do so! (A queen trying to impress the Luminous Stallion King does not get this option. Her diviners will tell her to [[spoiler: take a new name and be symbolically reborn as the daughter of Kero Fin]], although she can "enact a mating ritual" instead.)

* Tricksters can provide these. A classic example came in a LetsPlay, where the clan chief completed the heroquest to form a tribe, but was injured in the process. Afterward, the clan Trickster became the acting chief. And when you first form a tribe, the default option is to name it [[{{Egopolis}} after the chief]]...
