TURQUOISE
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...

... This doesn't seem to be too bad, does it?
I'm Spider, by the way.

I would not know, it is my first game.
Nor can I offer you a name in return, as I do not know what to call me myself. [A brief smile of apology.] Though it is a pleasure to meet you all the same, Spider.
Shall we begin?

So really new if you don't have a name. . . Let's try to win you something. Um.
What kind of stats do you want to work on? I kind of like the idea of courage.

[A nod.] Four changes of the light I have seen since coming here. Though won't you win a prize as well if I do?
Courage sounds splendid indeed... [studying the booklet] Faith will complete it well, I think. What do you say?

That's how knighting works. I won't say no, but I probably have more stuff than you by now, so—it's more for you than it is for me.
If we're going to do faith and courage, then... let's head into the forest! Sound good?

I will not deny that.
[A nod] Let the forest be our first choice.

You decide to go on an adventure in the deep, dark forest. It truly is deep and dark, and in no time at all you are lost. Maybe you should have been paying attention more attention in class on the day they went over spooky forests? You're getting tired by the time a sinister witch appears out of the darkness and are hardly in any condition to fight. Fortunately for you, all she wants is for you to help walk her and her injured werewolf friend back to her cottage so that she can tend to his wounds. However, she is very spooky and sinister, and her werewolf friend, although injured, looks like he could deliver a mean bite. Still, she says she'll help you with directions if you help her out too...
Lost in the deep dark woods, what do you do?

[LET'S DO THE FOREST THING...]
We trust her, right? If this is testing our faith and courage, we should trust that she isn't gonna hurt us. It'd be courage to go with her, too.

[nod] And we have faith in our wit and strength to not fall to their ploy easily if it is one, and courage to take on her and her friend, if its wounds should be no more than deceit.
We agree to assist her in her need and ask in what manner we might aid her friend and her.
It's easy enough. We got lucky for the first thing.
