Scorched and Parched

Our people suffer under the blazing heat of the merciless sun. What can we do about it?

Choices and Outcomes

Decision	Choose	Effect
Option 1	Encourage Them to Drink More	When it’s hot, your first impulse is to drink more. We make sure Booze is easily available. Unfortunately, many of our crewmates remain dazed and confused, this time from the alcohol.
Option 2	Distribute Cold Stew	On the best of days, Stew is not exactly a meal worthy of a gourmet’s table. Served cold and without any spices to ramp up the flavour, it’s barely edible. But at least it’s somewhat fresh, so there’s that.
Option 3	Mandatory Rest	The sun is not our friend, so let’s avoid its gaze whenever possible. We tell our people to stay indoors or in the shade when the sun is up, and work only in the mornings and evenings. This makes the days more sufferable, although all activities are slowed.
Option 4	The work will not do itself.	With curses on their lips, the hands return to their work. Labour continues in the hellish heat, though the spirits are badly soured.
