<h2>Opportunities</h2>
<p>
Opportunities are unexpected twists in the story — sometimes good, sometimes
bad.
</p>
<p>
When you spend an opportunity, you may pick an option from the list below or
come up with a different twist that fits the current scene. The Game Master
has final say on whether an opportunity is appropriate to the current
situation, and some spells and Skills will allow you to spend opportunities in
new and powerful ways.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Example:</strong> Valea the thief is hopping from roof to roof in an
attempt to shake off Count Eligor's mercenaries. The Game Master calls for a
<code>【DEX + MIG】</code> Check and Valea rolls a 7 and a 7, a critical
success! The Player controlling Valea describes how she loses her pursuers and
chooses the <cite>Favor</cite> opportunity: her daring performance will earn
her the sympathy of the villagers, who were already fed up with the Count's
tyranny!
