TIAMAT

[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: A FINE CLOAK WITH A FUR TRIM and A BASKET OF FOODSTUFFS.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring masked performers engaging in comedic revelry for an audience. You are part of THE JESTERS.

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.]

[Vetoed looks over the rules, really carefully.]

...Huuuh.

So... if you defend, you get one... And if you steal, you get ten, plus another two, plus another five... but only if it hits, and if it fails, you get two, but you might lose five or ten... and if you protect, you lose five, gain fifteen and two if it works, or just two if it doesn't?

Th-that...

Well then.
