### Path of the Duck Outlaw
When Basket Duck is against the law, only outlaws will play Basket Duck.
And not even the angels will weep when this path eventually leads to your inevitable death.
Inspired by *juego del pato*, the traditional, much maligned, national sport of Argentina.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pato>.
Credit to ~mio for kicking off this idea.
- 0. **Basket Duck** (Given the opportunity to befriend a duck, trap it instead and keep it in a basket): You can whip a crowd into a frenzy. The very sight of your duck in a basket can provoke a knife fight.
- 1. **Gaucho** (Right 100 leagues on horseback with your basket duck): Your horsemanship is legendary. You can achieve feats of daring, strength, and agility while on horseback. And while you carry your basket duck.
- 1. **Pate-au-pato** (Fatten a duck for an abattoir): Your foie gras recipe impresses any guest you invite to dine, increasing the likelihood a request will be responded to in your favour.
- 2. **Pecking Duck** (Make a sauce 666 times): You gain a 2-dice Roasting skill with a chance of increased effectiveness on beasts and decreased effectiveness on humanoids.
- 2. **Duck Trap** (Trap 44 ducks each under 44 seconds): Your Trapping skills have improved, which is to say, they have gotten worse at trapping ducks and better at trapping other somethings and nothings. Increased chance of finding other things in any trap you set.
- 2. **Dog** (Trap 100 ducks): You gain a small but vicious dog who can help flush ducks out of the bush for you to trap. If you ever fail to trap one though, it will laugh at and demoralize you.
- 3. **Pants Is Overrated** (Refuse to wear pants for 30 days): For as long as you wear no pants, you can preen yourself to become waterproof. This effect also extends to any items you carry. People may not approve of your lack of attire. But you have a long poncho right?
- 3. **Feather Fall** (Survive a fall from over 20 feet high with your basket duck): You can pluck a feather from your basket duck and use it to slow your descent, landing safely on your feet.
- 4. **Pato** (Safely deliver your basket duck back to your home; along the way, offer it to everyone you meet but don't let them take it): From now on, basket duck is outlawed by the government wherever you go. At the same time, you are a hero of the people and can muster a small mob to your aide.
- 5. **Duck Typing** (Make an ink from the roasted beans of the java plant and a quill from a duck feather. Write on a parchment in *javascript* 100 times "Thou art a duck"): If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then---if you say it is---it is a duck.
- 5. **Arrogate** (Kill the person who has stolen your basket duck from you): The angels have turned their backs on you, leaving you free to claim more than what is rightfully yours. You are immune to the blessings and curses of any minor miracle worker.
