RATATOSKR

[soulping]

[ You find yourself sequestered in a cave deep within Waldemar's mountain. A table and a set of chairs have been carved from the surrounding rock. Torches are set into the walls to provide light, while a faint breeze blows through cracks in the walls and ceiling to provide ventilation. There are no doors or windows to speak of.

In the center of the room are your (randomly assigned) gifts: AN ELEGANT SWORD WITH A BEJEWELED SHEATH and A VERY LARGE JEWEL.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring lush, rolling hills dotted with sheep. You are part of THE SHEPHERDS.

Resting on the table are the following: a sheet of parchment, a quill, and a capped jar of ink. Written on the parchment is a list and three words in bold lettering:

PROTECT
TARGET
DEFEND

Choose a role and a course of action.]

Thanks.

All right. So either we can defend for the rest of the game, ooooor we can try and steal and if we can do a successful steal this round, protect the next?

Re: DISCUSSION

[saiho]

Yeah. We should try for the second option since we can't lose anything from it. [...]

Waldemar, if a team is protected, but more than one team tries to steal from them, does that protect cover all attempts, or only one attempt?

[Once again, his voice comes from nowhere.]

Only one attempt. Luck itself decrees which thief will come away victorious.

Re: DISCUSSION

[saiho]

I see... Thanks again. [...] Do you wanna try stealing from Bards? They might have some stuff.

They are the best bet for havin' stuff. Let's give it a shot!
