5) Flexible plays: Your plays attempt to maximize your flexibility on the board. This requires a Water/Games at TN 2. On the next round, you may reduce the TN of any Games action by 1
1) The killing blow: Defeat them with one dramatic move! This requires an Any/Games roll. This requires two successes and two opportunities. However, depending on the opponent, after a certain round it only requires two successes. Beginner in round 3 and beyond, Casual in round 4 and beyond, Intermediate in round 5 and beyond. However, failing this maneuver is quite embarrassing, and perhaps fatal to one’s game. You take one strife for each symbol you are short.
I assume these two are not supposed to work together?

If we have more sucesses then we need for the killing blow but less opportunities, can we downgrade sucesses to still suceed?
Ie I roll 4 sucess , but 1 opportunity there , can I turn 1 sucess into the second opportunity that I need?

Related to love is a battlefield, am I right in reading that the only way to win against an opponent is to land a killing blow?

What happens if we beat a opponent and are compromised after the check, as you can not have a draw in go?

Yes, this is the guard that has reported made the "haunted" painting./

Update: Day 13. Koi is wearing a kimono in much higher quality, lilac in hues with green lunar moths and silver lanterns. She is wearing a jade green choker. She is wearing a katana that largely is peace tied, and at night has a very fine lantern. She is being followed at all times by a Shika Guard at a distances. She wears a fine wooden carved bracelet with the Moth Clan symbol on it.
