Each have a rank representing the available number of actions of that type that guarantee success whenever she is <strong>challenged</strong>. When <strong>challenged</strong>, she may spend one of her points to succeed at her action without complication. <br/><br/>If she does not, her actions will succeed but trigger a disadvantage. If the effect is directed at herself, she may then spend another point to absorb or mitigate the effect or else lose a point of Stamina. And when Stamina reaches -1 or below she is immobile, and if Stamina drops to -5 or below she falls unconscious. <br/><br/>Stamina can be recovered by resting in a safe zone or with health potions. Any Gear whose condition reaches 0 must be discarded, though she may find other gear as loot to replace them.</div></div></div><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Enter Ravine Entrance, Forested Hills</strong><br/><br/>The caves were nearby for sure. There was a goblin, just as reported, keeping a lazy watch on the main road from a small boulder. He hasn't noticed Aya yet moving through the trees. The guild had sent group of novice adventurers out, goblins were easy prey after all, but they returned sobbing and crying through their report of an extensive nest in the hills. One of their members was taken by the goblins, and no one knows what became of her. But a goblin nest that wasn't just a hovel of three or four of the little beasts? That spelled treasure for sure, and before any other group could organize a raid one particularly brave rogue decided to try her luck.<br/><br/>The goblin in the distance yawned, wiping tears of boredom from his eyes. He had a sharpened stick for a weapon sitting on the rock next to him and a small animal horn at his rope belt. Most likely he was the runt of the pack, or the slowest. For a goblin he was quite portly, of average height at just shy of 4 feet tall, and probably kicked out of the cave on watch duty for getting too fat doing nothing, or having one too many goes at their captive breeders. If one did not work, one did not eat. Or fuck. Or whatever else goblins did when not getting burned and skewered alive by novices looking for an easy first mark.<br/><br/>Still, this one posed a<strong>challenge</strong>. He guarded the only path through the ravine and the caves beyond.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Enter Aya the Rogue:</strong><br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center"><strong>Aya the Rogue</strong><br/><strong>Stamina        5</strong><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/Yr8k5Ap.png)</div></td><td><strong>   Skills   </strong><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>  Libido  </td><td>    3    </td></tr><tr><td>  Flirt  </td><td>    6    </td></tr><tr><td>  Sneak  </td><td>    4    </td></tr><tr><td>  Lockpick  </td><td>    7    </td></tr><tr><td>  Melee  </td><td>    5    </td></tr></tbody></table><br/></td><td><strong>   Gear   </strong><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>  Sheer Robes  </td><td>    2    </td></tr><tr><td>  Leather Bodice  </td><td>    3    </td></tr><tr><td>  Twin Daggers  </td><td>    5    </td></tr><tr><td>  Thieves' Tools  </td><td>    3    </td></tr><tr><td>  Health Potion  </td><td>    1    </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
