RED SKY / BLACK LIGHT
Scenario 01. ARCHONS – An Elven Warrior encounters a Vampire and a Werewolf chasing a Maiden through a moonlit forest.
Who are you and how do you win?
This is a combat scenario played out between four characters over a series of three exchanges, 1. First Blood, 2. Dual Wield & 3. Double-Handed.
Each exchange allows for 3 moves; Strike, Jab or Block/Dodge. The second exchange allows for a strike with each hand, and the 3rd exchange awards double-points for two-handed strikes. Two consecutive hits double the score of the second strike, and 3 triples it. Any character sustaining 4 consecutive blows may withdraw between rounds. 5 hits equals a fatality.
In this scenario, if either the Werewolf or Vampire “Seize” the girl, [grab and hold her, requiring 1 move] and then “Bite” her, [also requiring 1 move], they win their “Perceived Objective.”
Cluine – the featured character of this campaign – is Divinely appointed to patrol Midgard and to “Deport,” (hunt and execute), demons and other-worldly fugitives of the Twilight Realms.
The Maiden wants to escape unmolested.

This may seem fanciful, but there is a secret for us muggles hidden in this image. You may not be a vampire, or a werewolf, or a lethal Elven assassin, but you may well stumble upon a helpless maiden beset by scoundrels. Play the scenario until you discover a winning strategy and you will have something you did not have before. There is Power here.
“Everything I have, I have taken by strategy.”
