<h1>22 GAME RULES</h1>
<h2>KEEP THEM OUT</h2>
<p>
While facing off against a powerful necromancer, the heroes are swarmed by
hordes of zombies, making the battle much more dangerous. If only they could
get a couple of rounds without new undead arriving on the scene!
</p>
<p>
This is a minor goal and the Clock has 4 sections. Possible actions would
be...
</p>
<ul>
<li>Use 【DEX + MIG】 to quickly barricade a door to the room.</li>
<li>
If capable of casting light-type spells, use 【INS + WLP】 to keep the
undead at bay.
</li>
<li>Use 【MIG + MIG】 to physically block the zombies and push them back.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Most of the above Checks will be performed against the zombies, but the
necromancer might oppose the second approach with some magic of his own.
</p>
<h2>STOP THE RITUAL</h2>
<p>
This time, the heroes aren't pursuing a goal of their own — instead, they are
trying to stop a powerful witch from reaching the conclusion of a dangerous
Ritual, and all this while fighting against the witch's summoned beasts.
</p>
<p>
This is a resolutive goal for the witch, and the Clock has 10 sections. This
time, the Player Characters' goal is to prevent the Clock from filling while
they battle the witch. Possible actions would be...
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Use 【DEX + INS】 to line up a shot with an elemental bow or pistol and
disrupt the flow of soul energy.
</li>
<li>
If capable of casting spells, use 【INS + WLP】 to manipulate the magic of
the Ritual.
</li>
<li>
Use 【DEX + MIG】 to pick up one of the witch's minions and fling it towards
her or inside the magic circle, causing a distraction.
</li>
<li>
Use 【MIG + WLP】 to appear dangerous enough that the witch will momentarily
have you, and not the Ritual, as her top priority!
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Most of these Checks will be made directly against the witch, although the
third approach might instead be made against the minion; the witch herself is
so powerful that her Clock automatically fills by 1 section at the end of each
round — and she can also choose to Objective on her turn to speed things up.
