13/16 Raspberry’s Family

13/16 Raspberry’s Family Recruit Raspberry first. A woman arrives wanting him to return to Ledetchko and care for the child she says is his. • Rule that he stays: Raspberry remains, you gain 5 groschen a day, and population and reputation do not change. • Pay her to leave: spend 1,000 groschen once. Raspberry stays, daily income and population do not change, and the reputation gain is uncertain. • Let them sort it out: Raspberry goes with her. You lose 40 groschen a day and 3 reputation. The ledger lists no population change. Raspberry already contributes 40 a day, so keeping him without paying adds 5 to that existing amount. Letting him leave removes the 40. An old guide gives an uncertain loss of 35 instead, but the newer tables agree on 40. And that dowry is 1,000 once, not every day.
