The Rain Collector's Secret

The coming-shower clock has six work windows in the short game and eight in the full game. Travel and discussion are free; physically committing crews or equipment spends printed windows. Put one sleeve and three cart tokens on the table. Draining one cart plus fitting the sleeve restores the pipe; reserving two carts for a distribution circuit bypasses the pipe but postpones other deliveries. The high cistern must be relieved before either final supply action. Jun opens the valve house on arrival and explains the crack without a persuasion test. A dry inspection walkway links valve house and cistern after relief; before then use the cart depot and roof approaches. No success depends on dangerous climbing. At one window, bring both remaining supply choices into the conversation.

Truth and opening

Jun isolated a cracked low-district pipe and diverted too much flow into the high cistern. Draining excess into one cart buys the conditions for a sleeve repair. A two-cart distribution circuit also relieves the cistern, but those carts then cannot carry market goods. No one stole the water.

120-minute route

Compare records and hear both districts 20m → Assign carts and the roof watch 25m → Inspect, drain, and complete physical work 35m → Choose equal flow or a public delivery circuit 20m

Play Wren’s watch as a deliberate labor investment, and let the group negotiate which deliveries wait. Eight windows permit checking both approaches; the single sleeve and three carts still prevent unlimited experiments.

People

Asha: wants Provide a fair, visible water schedule. Offers Delivery records and access to the emergency reserve. Boundary: Will not promise equal pipe service while the crack remains open.

Bo: wants Fit the sleeve only after the branch is isolated. Offers One matching sleeve and practical labor. Boundary: Will not conceal the remaining crack under a supply announcement.

Wren: wants Keep the route and cistern level visible. Offers A warning watch and the cart allocation board. Boundary: Cannot watch the lip and drive a cart simultaneously.

Jun: wants Undo the unequal diversion and make its reason public. Offers Valve access, the crack map, and either supply plan. Boundary: Will not reopen the damaged branch before a sleeve is fitted.

Events and costs

Roof overflow watch posted is true and Work windows before the shower at most 3: Wren’s warning gives the crews one additional work window before they must shelter.

Work windows before the shower at most 1: One work window remains. Read out the available final supply choices and the reserve-water closure.

Closures

Two modest running taps: Sleeve fitted is true

Water takes the road: Distribution circuit reserved is true

A reserve and a repair date: Available

Recovery

The depot–cistern ground road bypasses a blocked roof walk. With the sleeve unavailable, cart-circuit followed by publish-rota provides water at a visible transport cost. With no carts or time, reserve-supply suspends normal collection and states that repair is unfinished.
