If the Margin is high, they should confidently roleplay someone saying just what the situation appears to demand.
On the other hand, if the roll was not only a failure but had a high Failure Margin, they should attempt to roleplay the worst kinds of insults -- perhaps because the character is genuinely mean-spirited, perhaps because they are making persistent, accidental faux-pas.

The gods are most popular with humans and gnolls. Most dwarven settlements have a temple of some kind but it is not something all dwarves take much interest in except during odd times when they want to pay for a blessing. Gnomes' interactions with the gods mainly consists in chronicling legends about them and debating the nature of divinity, but not actively worshipping them. Elves, it is said, do not have the humility to worship anything.
The gods presented here are the most important -- they are the ones featured in the larger tales and who have the most prominent holy days. There are, however, many more. Each region or individual tribe has its own little god. Players are encouraged to create their own.
