Now we have our three teams, and goals for each team for this conflict:<br/><br/>Cyd and Lucretzia, Team A: Drive the raven off<br/><br/>Lucien, Goerge and Noreen, Team B: Protect the mail<br/><br/>Team Raven: Must have mailbag!<br/><br/>Now we need to determine Team Disposition. Disposition attaches a numerical value to the overall strength of the Team. When one side’s Disposition is reduced to 0, the conflict ends and a solution is negotiated with the defeated Team making an offer to the team with the highest remaining Disposition based on its goal for the conflict. More details on negotiation when we get there.<br/><br/>Disposition results from a Test by the Team’s Leader: Cyd, Lucien and the Raven in this case. In an Animal Conflict, Fighter or Hunter is tested, and added to the Tester’s Health rating. In the Raven’s case, it makes a Nature Test, and adds its Nature rating to the base.<br/><br/>So, Cyd will roll Fighter 5, and add 4 to the number of Successes<br/><br/>Lucien will roll Fighter 4, and add 4 to the number of Successes (and subtract one from Noreen's Thirsty condition)<br/><br/>The Raven will roll Nature 8, and add 8 to the number of Successes<br/><br/>As in other Tests, Help from other characters is possible, but not Traits and Wises. Therefore, we need the other characters to decide how they want to help in this conflict.<br/><br/><em>Mice are not natural fighters. The Fighter skill teaches them to overcome their natural inhibitions so they can capture, disable, or even kill an opponent – using their bare paws or any variety of weapons available.</em><br/><br/>Fighter can be helped by Fighter or Hunter. Noreen won’t be able to help on the Disposition roll, but if she wants to join the team she can voluntarily, and use her Nature during the Conflict proper.
