RUBY
Inside the walls, the city itself springs up in colorful papier-mache. A small booklet on the ground before you explains the game.
PREMISE
You will be spending three rounds going on adventures to build your statistics as a team. In the final round, you will choose a role based on the statistics you've managed to increase in order to take part in a fight against the Darkness.
The adventures and the final fight alike will play out before you in paper and cardboard; no one will actually be harmed.
STATISTICS
PURITY - your ability to resist corruption and evil
FAITH - your continued belief and hope in the face of trial
COURAGE - your resolve and fortitude to take action even in the face of fear and danger
MERCY - your ability to show kindness to others
WISDOM - your capacity for good judgment
You will have an opportunity in each of the first three rounds to go on an adventure that can either increase or decrease two of your statistics up to two points each, depending on how you respond to the scenario you are presented.
In the final round, you will choose a role to take in fighting the Darkness; whether you are successful or not depends on if you have enough of the necessary statistics for that role.
LOCATIONS
These are the places in which you may adventure. You must choose a different one in each of the first three rounds.
♦ explore the DUNGEON (tests your Purity and Courage)
♦ walk in the GRAVEYARD (tests your Mercy and Courage)
♦ carouse in the TAVERN (tests your Purity and Wisdom)
♦ attend class at the UNIVERSITY (tests your Purity and Faith)
♦ tend to the GARDENS (tests your Purity and Mercy)
♦ venture into the FOREST (tests your Faith and Courage)
♦ shop in the MARKET (tests your Faith and Mercy)
♦ study in the LIBRARY (tests your Faith and Wisdom)
♦ clean the BELLTOWER (tests your Courage and Wisdom)
♦ help in the CLINIC (tests your Mercy and Wisdom)
GAMEPLAY
In rounds one through three, you start by choosing a place to adventure--keeping in mind you cannot adventure in the same place twice. You will be presented with a scenario to which you must respond. Acting with the virtues needed for a situation will increase your likelihood of a good outcome, as will thoughtfulness and creativity.
In the final round, you will pick from a list of ten roles and explain how you will fight the Darkness in that role. Depending on your statistics, choice of role, and explanation, you can receive bonus points here.
WIN CONDITIONS
The teams with the most accumulated points (total statistic points plus the bonus from the final round) win the game.
BONUS RESULTS
If enough teams raise their statistics enough to successfully fight the Darkness, it will be defeated, and something nice may happen...

The Darkness will be here very soon now.
The Darkness is upon you; there's no more time for adventures or preparation. Choose a role and explain how you use the statistics you've developed to carry it out.
The roles available are PALADIN (requires high Purity and Faith), BERSERKER (requires high Faith and Courage), MESSENGER (requires high Courage and Mercy), HEALER (requires high Mercy and Wisdom), SUMMONER (requires high Wisdom and Purity), KNIGHT (requires high Purity and Courage), GENERAL (requires high Courage and Wisdom), TACTICIAN (requires high Wisdom and Faith), BARD (requires high Faith and Mercy), and SCOUT (requires high Purity and Mercy).

First things first, we've gotta decide which stats seem most important to us.
[ Shinjiro nods. ]
That one's important... I think Wisdom is a good idea, too. That's the one I like most.

[blinks and looks around]
That's... new.
That's... new.
Mm... Wisdom is important, but I don't think I'm very good at that one, eheh. I might have trouble with those choices.
Oh, hello. You're playing with us today? Welcome to Ruby.
Hello. [waves!] I think I like courage, wisdom, and mercy all equally well.
Seems so. This is my first time filling in for a team, but I'll do the best I can. My name is Yarrow, by the way.
[ Shinjiro shrugs. ]
I don't know if I would be, either, but I'd be willing to give those choices a shot.

I'm Sora, it's a pleasure to meet you Yarrow. [Bows, and smiles at him] Don't worry, if we all work together I bet we'll do great.
Then let's do it! And maybe mercy too? I'm sure we'll be fine.
[ Shinjiro nods at him in greeting. ]
Hey. Well, if it's just going to be the three of us, then it seems fair that each of us has one stat we go for. Mercy works for me if it works for her.
