 * '''Affliction''': the character acquires an acute, mild form of stomach [[Disease|disease]], resulting in pain, forced bed rest and a 10% chance of the disease turning severe.  Otherwise, the character is affected for one week and cannot travel, while suffering from diarrhea. Carrying the character without a [[Litter|litter]] will cause 2-8 [[Hit Points|hit points]] [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] per day.  [[Strength (ability stat)|Strength]] and [[Constitution (ability stat)|constitution]] suffer a -3 penalty.
-* '''Diarrhea''': at first, this will have similar characteristics to "affliction," above, but the condition improves considerably after the first four hours.  Carrying the character without a litter only causes 1-4 damage, and after eight hours the character will be weakened, but otherwise restored.  The initial loss of 3 strength/constitution improves to only -2 after four hours, and -1 afterwards, until a full 24 hours has passed (the character will have no appetite for the next meal following that which produced the diarrhea).

 * '''Elated''': the character is in such a fine frame of mind that they feel an uncommon bravery or capability that they have not possessed since they were of a younger [[Aging|age]] category.  Thus, for the space of a full day (24 hours), a mature character's [[Ability Stats|ability stats]] should be adjusted as though they were a young adult; the middle aged are adjusted as though they were mature; the old should be adjusted as though they were middle aged and so on.  Moreover, any [[Aging#Death_Due_to_Age|death check]] made that day automatically succeeds. They also automatically [[Healing|heal]] 2 hit points of damage.

 Room for multiple cooks and preparers is available, creating a bustling and sometimes cluttered space due to the persons available and amount of rush to produce food.  The atmosphere is characterised by warmth, aromas and the clatter of pots and pans.  Bundles of dried herbs are hung from the walls, while various foods are stuffed into pantries or cold storage.  Water and other beverages can be accessed from barrels, which take up much space.
