Please read this post (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=204284.msg10386229#msg10386229) over in the narrative thread before posting here.<br/><br/>The Patrol has been ambushed by a milk snake, and now it has a choice to make. It can run and hide, ostensibly to regroup and make a plan for what to do next, or it can stay and fight the snake.<br/><br/>If the Patrol runs, DeeDee must make a Versus Test against the snake using Nature. The snake's Nature is 7; DeeDee's Nature is 5, but she can also accept Help, and even Tap her Nature in order to gain significant bonuses in this Test.<br/><br/>If the Patrol decides to fight the snake, it will lead to what's called a Conflict. We haven't covered Conflicts yet, but they are extended Tests with multiple skill rolls and characters based on the goals of each side. They are used in a variety of circumstances in Mouse Guard, this one being fighting an animal.
