Support Reactions

A9. Support Reactions — Table-Ready Examples

Support example format: • Situation • Support narration • What is discarded (Action Card) • Support die added • Fatigue cost (phase-weighted; Section 10.3) • Outcome interpretation

  • situation: "Day phase: opening a stuck floodgate at Cinderford." narration: "I brace the hinge with my crowbar and keep the chain from snapping." discard: "Hold Fast (discarded as Support)" support_die: "1d6 CONTROL" fatigue_cost: "+1 Fatigue (Day)" interpretation:

  • "CONTROL 5–6 means the gate opens cleanly; if CONTROL 1–2, it opens but causes collateral (water surge, noise)."

  • situation: "Dusk phase: fleeing patrols through alleys." narration: "I distract them with a false call and a thrown bottle." discard: "Slip Away (discarded as Support)" support_die: "1d10 DANGER (Risky Tag choice)" fatigue_cost: "+2 Fatigue (Dusk)" interpretation:

  • "Even if this helps, Dusk support is loud: DANGER will likely escalate pursuit or trigger Exposure on travel failure."
