MdG,<br/><br/>I could be so far off base with this I can't see the playing field, but I think that your four point stress box can be used to absorb  up to 4 points of stress, according to my reading of page 166.  The example at the top of page 167 seems to support this, Og checks off his 3 point box to absorb three points of stress, leaving his 2 point box unused.<br/><br/>Eshalu can take up to 10 stress points, not four.<br/><br/>So, check off your one point box, not the 4 point!<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>edited for spelling.
