Inspired by this passage of the Novgorod Chronicle:
Image: "GFX_evt_mongols"
Trigger:
A Mongol Tengri army leader wins the siege of a bishopric held by an Orthodox Bishop.
More likely to occur if the Bishop has the Craven trait
Event Text:
"Your armies have breached the defenses of the bishopric, ravaging the city with fire and sword. The cowardly Bishop has barricaded himself within the church rather than face your wrath. You notice a ready supply of wood that might be stacked against the church and burned, leaving the Bishop unable to escape; a victim of his own cowardice."
Option A: "Burn it down!"
+25 prestige
The Bishop dies
25% chance of gaining the Cruel trait
Kind characters do not get this option
Option B: "Leave him be"
-25 prestige
25% chance of gaining the Kind trait
Cruel characters do not get this option
And when the lawless ones had already come near and set up battering rams, and took the town and fired it on Friday before Sexagesima Sunday, the [Prince] and Knyaginya and [Arch-bishop], seeing that the town was on fire and that the people were already perishing, some by fire and others by sword, took refuge in the Church of the Holy Mother of God and shut themselves in the Sacristy. The pagans breaking down the doors, piled up wood and set fire to the sacred church; and slew all, thus they perished, giving up their souls to God
