They were a covenant somewhere in Hungary, I think, or near it; most of them were the more 'outre' types of wizards and had settled somewhere far away for the peace and quiet.A woman comes to them; she is a member of the lesser nobility and she has recently lost her husband. Now, one of the things magic cannot do in Ars Magica is raise the dead. She of course does not know this and has come to bargain for her husband's life, as she has heard wizards could do this.The member of the covenant are mostly sympathetic to her plight but of course cannot help her. She offers anything within her power to grant; she'll steal, she'll kill, she'll do anything to get him back. The Merita (I think that's the House name) member of the covenant (played by our lone female member at the time) takes the woman aside and tries to understand her fixation.She describes her love for her husband, and the wizardess presses her on what she loved most about her husband. She cannot say, insisting that she loved all parts of him equally. The wizardess presses again, and the woman says 'Does a miser love one coin above the others?'That set the player weeping and she had to go to the bathroom to compose herself <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
