From 057b83679b2594b6126849cc6ad47beb11ecf2f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phillip Tarrant Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:18:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix(content): bonesetter fragment restated the blurb's central non-claim MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The fragment's closing clause — "you have stopped claiming to know whether it is your hands or the Warden that does the saving" — restated the thesis of the blurb the player is reading at the same moment, inches above it in the calling detail panel. The blurb's whole argument already IS the unresolved-Warden question: it states it outright ("distant and does not explain himself") and dramatises it with its doubled "Often enough." The fragment took that artful implicit doubt, said it flat, and put it in the emphatic final position of the composed DM line. Different words, same beat. It also collided lexically with the beastfolk race fragment, which the composition can place directly before it: "You stopped taking that personally" / "you have stopped claiming". Keep the front clause — "you are the one they wake at the third hour" is the best image in the set and gives the player a position in a village that nothing else on the screen supplies. Rewrite the back clause to say the next thing instead of the same thing: what the failed nights cost, and that the job does not release you for failing. The fragment no longer mentions the Warden at all, so it cannot re-argue him; it now makes a claim about the player's life rather than about a god. Also avoids "carry", which the composition template itself supplies ("Now you carry a Bonesetter's work"), so the rendered sentence no longer risks repeating its own verb.
