That's the spirit!  Flee the shadow by diving right into it...<br/><br/>And we get...<br/>Discipline 4, 1, 5<br/><em>Exhaustion 2</em><br/>Madness 4, 3, 3<br/><strong>PAIN 1, 1, 5, 3, 2, 4</strong><br/><br/>Player has 4 successes, Strength 5,4,1.  PAIN has 4 successes, Strength 5,4,3.  Player wins ties, PAIN dominates.  Despair Bank is up to 4.  I really ought to spend one or two of these.<br/><br/>Note that I will still have to take your Madness Talent into consideration when I describe what happens, but you win so you'll get away.
