# Seems like a /troublesome/ journey. Do we want to mark with a table? Generate with a Snippet?
# Undertake a Journey ... Strong hit :: 10 (6 + 4) → 6 / 3 - small glade
Followed the path through the forest described to me by Kendi, the Circle's shaman, and arrived at a /small glade/. The place was idyllic.
# Undertake a Journey ... Weak hit :: 9 (6 + 3) → 10 / 3 - abandoned river ford
My path reached a rapidly moving river that was too treacherous to ford. I found a place to cross further downstream, and back-tracked to the path to continue on my journey.
# Undertake a Journey ... Weak hit :: 8 (5 + 3) → 9 / 3 - Occupied Cliff
The path passed underneath a towering cliff swarming with ravens roosting in natural holes near the ridgeline... Odin's Voice. I am getting close. On the ground, I found a near-dead baby bird. I first caught a cricket, and made it into a paste with water, and attempted to feed the baby bird, as I walked.
# Reach Your Destination ... Strong hit :: 9 (9 + 0) → 4 / 5
The first person I met outside of Cinderhome was Katania, a warrior with a strong shield and spear. I told her of my journey, and she told me to go to the Long House and introduce myself there, and that I might be welcomed.
*** The People of Cinderhome
(Note: This just /came to me/ and I didn't roll anything, but names)
I had wrapped Mimir in a cloth, but was careful when dropping my pack, my bow and quiver before going through the door. The Long House was nicely furnished, much nicer than ours in Elkfield. A woman, dressed in darker shades, greeted me. I told of my uneventful journey from Elkfield. She saw my kindness with the baby bird in my hand, and welcomed me to stay.
She was Kori, and her tattoos hinted at her journeys behind the veil. She reached out and blessed Mimir, and I noticed the outstretched flying raven on her forearm.
I offered to help the Circle during my stay, and was quickly shown a pot of yams to peel.
That evening, after eating at the long table and meeting many residents, we entertained ourselves by telling stories and singing songs. I told a story, popular in Elkfield, of the three boys crossing the bridge own by a troll.
As the fire died down, and many left to their own lodgings, I retrieved my mother's disk from around my neck, and asked *Kori* if she knew of a man with a connection to it.
"You do not see it. Do you?" she touched my eyes, and when I saw the disk again, three intertwined symbols blazed on its surface. "The man you seek, is not here. But you will know where to go when the moon is full again."
I stayed in Cinderhome, hunting in the forest and weeding the gardens, until the moon, once again, was full.
That night, I slept outdoors, wracked with dreams. In the morning, one word stood out to me: Redcrest.
Kori told me that Redcrest is a village perched on an island in the Barrier Islands, and that perhaps my father was there.

# Undertake a Journey ... Weak hit :: 6 (2 + 4) → 6 / 1 - Ruined Moor
Cinderhome, on the edge of a large clearing in the forest, shows the remains of a huge fire. While this happened a long time ago, as the greenery has crept back, I could still see the charred remains of stone walls.
# Undertake a Journey ... Weak hit :: 8 (5 + 3) → 3 / 10 - Diverse Hill
The moor gave way to a collection of hills, and the path west became vague. The people of Cinderhome had said to walk between the hills that look like two hares, but I must have wandered around like one, before I recognized the hills that they meant. Burning up time, as the sun past it zenith.
# Undertake a Journey ... Weak hit :: 8 (5 + 3) → 6 / 9 - Withered Village
It was way past sunset when I arrived in the shambles of a village, Whitebridge. The name sounded much better than its appearance, but I felt it safer than sleeping out in the woods. I knocked on the door of the large structure, hoping for the typical community of a Circle.
# Sojourn ... Miss :: 2 (1 + 1) → 10 / 2
But no one answered my knock. I swear I could hear voices within. I called out that I was a traveler from Cinderhome looking for shelter for the night. I might have heard someone within say that only the roofless barn would accept me. I saw the walls of what might be a unfinished or abandoned barn near a stream, and made a bit of a camp there.
# Make Camp ... Miss :: 6 (3 + 3) → 9 / 6
I tucked myself in a corner behind some growth, and placed /Curio/ on a branch of a shrub near me. Attempted to take solace, however, I could barely rest wondering what the denizens of this dilapidated village feared. I soon found out.

My raven, Curio, was looking around suspiciously ... I grab my dagger and swing out towards the first movement I see.
# Strike ... Weak hit :: 3 (1 + 2) → 1 / 3
The strike hits the crustacean sending it flying, but I loose my balance, and fall into the undergrowth as I see more of them.
# Clash ... Miss :: 3 (2 + 1) → 8 / 9
One of the scorpion-like creatures appears next to me, I try to swat it away with a branch, but miss, as a bugger I didn't see stings me.
The pain is intense, and I realize I have to get out of here.

** Face Danger
When you attempt something risky or react to an imminent threat, envision your action and roll. If you act...
- With speed, agility, or precision: Roll +edge.
- With charm, loyalty, or courage: Roll +heart.
- With aggressive action, forceful defense, strength, or endurance: Roll +iron.
- With deception, stealth, or trickery: Roll +shadow.
- With expertise, insight, or observation: Roll +wits.
On a *strong hit*, you are successful. Take +1 momentum.
On a *weak hit*, you succeed, but face a troublesome cost. Choose one.
- You are delayed, lose advantage, or face a new danger: Suffer -1 momentum.
- You are tired or hurt: [[file:../suffer/endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]] (1 harm).
- You are dispirited or afraid: [[file:../suffer/endure-stress.org][Endure Stress]] (1 stress).

The Face Danger move is a catch-all for risky, dramatic, or complex actions not covered by another move. If you’re trying to overcome an obstacle or resist a threat, make this move to see what happens. You select which stat to roll based on how you address the challenge.
A *strong hit* means you succeed. You are in control. What do you do next?
A *weak hit* means you overcome the obstacle or avoid the threat, but not without cost. Choose an option and envision what happens next. You don’t have complete control. Consider how the situation might escalate, perhaps forcing you to react with another move.
A miss means you are thwarted in your action, fail to oppose the threat, or make some progress but at great cost. You must [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]].

** Gather Information
When you search an area, ask questions, conduct an investigation, or follow a track, roll +wits. If you act within a community or ask questions of a person with whom you share a bond, add +1.
On a *strong hit*, you discover something helpful and specific. The path you must follow or action you must take to make progress is made clear. Envision what you learn ([[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] if unsure), and take +2 momentum.

A *weak hit* means what you learned is unsettling or ambiguous. To move forward, you need to overcome new obstacles and see where the clues leads.
On a *miss*, some event or person acts against you, a dangerous new threat is revealed, or you learn of something which contradicts previous information or severely complicates your quest.

On a *strong hit*, your care is helpful. If you (or the ally under your care) have the wounded condition, you may clear it. Then, take or give up to +2 health.

When you tend to physical damage or sickness—for yourself, an ally, or an NPC—make this move. Healing might be represented by staunching bleeding, binding wounds, applying salves, or using herbs to brew a tonic.
Healing takes time. A few minutes for a quick treatment to get someone on their feet. Hours or perhaps days for more severe injuries. Use what seems appropriate to the circumstances, and consider how this downtime affects your quests and other things going on in your world.
A miss can mean you’ve caused harm rather than helping, or some perilous event interrupts your care.
NPCs who are not companions do not have a health track. When you attempt to Heal them, make this move and apply the result through the fiction. They will improve, or not, as appropriate to the move’s outcome.

Making camp can be a purely narrative activity and can be abstracted or roleplayed as you like. However, if you need to recover from the struggle of your adventures while traveling through the wilds, make this move.
Unlike most moves, you will not roll + a stat. Instead, you roll +supply. This represents your access to provisions and gear. Huddling in your cloak on the cold ground is a different experience than a warm fire, good food, and a dry tent.
On a *strong hit*, choose two from the list. You may not select a single option more than once. On a *weak hit*, choose one. If you recuperate or partake, you can also apply those benefits to your companions (NPC assets).
If you are traveling with allies, only one of you makes this roll for the group. Each of you may then choose your own benefits on a strong or *weak hit*.
On a *miss*, you gain no benefits of your downtime. Perhaps you suffered troubling dreams ([[file:../suffer/endure-stress.org][Endure Stress]]). Poor weather may have left you weary and cold ([[file:../suffer/endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]]). Or, you were attacked. If in doubt, roll on the [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]] table or [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] for inspiration. Depending on what you envision, you can play to see what happens, or jump to the next day as you continue on your journey the worse for wear.

** Reach Your Destination

When your journey comes to an end, roll the challenge dice and compare to your progress. Momentum is ignored on this roll.
On a *strong hit*, the situation at your destination favors you. Choose one.
- Make another move now (not a progress move), and add +1.

When you have made progress on your journey progress track and are ready to complete your expedition, make this move. Since this is a progress move, you tally the number of filled boxes on your progress track. This is your progress score. Only add fully filled boxes (those with four ticks). Then, roll your challenge dice, compare to your progress score, and resolve a *strong hit*, *weak hit*, or miss as normal. You may not burn momentum on this roll, and you are not affected by negative momentum.
When you score a *strong hit*, you arrive at your destination and are well-positioned for success. This should be reflected in the mechanical benefit offered by the move, but also in how you envision your arrival. If this has been a long, arduous journey, make this moment feel rewarding.
On a *weak hit*, something complicates your arrival or your next steps. Things are not what you expected, or a new danger reveals itself. Perhaps the village is occupied by a raiding party, or the mystic whose council you sought is initially hostile to you. Envision what you find and play to see what happens.
On a *miss*, something has gone horribly wrong. You realize you are off-course, you had bad information about your destination, or you face a turn of events undermining your purpose here. Depending on the circumstances, this might mean your journey ends in failure, or that you must push on while clearing all but one of your filled progress and raising the journey’s rank.
If you are traveling with allies, one of you makes this move. Each of you benefit (or suffer) from the narrative outcome of the roll. Only the character making the move gets the mechanical benefit of a *strong hit*.

The structure of *Secure an Advantage* is similar to [[file:face-danger.org][Face Danger]]. You envision your action and roll + your most relevant stat. This move, however, is proactive rather than reactive. You’re evaluating the situation or strengthening your position.
This move gives you an opportunity to build your momentum or improve your chance of success on a subsequent move. It’s a good move to make if you want to take a moment to size up the situation, or if you’re acting to gain control. It will often encompass a moment in time—such as shoving your foe with your shield to setup an attack. Or, it can represent preparation or evaluation spanning minutes, hours, or even days, depending on the narrative circumstances.
A *strong hit* means you’ve identified an opportunity or gained the upper hand. You knocked your enemy down. You moved into position for an arrow shot. You built your trap. You scouted the best path through the mountains. Now it’s time to build on your success.
A *weak hit* means your action has helped, but your advantage is fleeting or a new danger or complication is revealed. You pushed, and the world pushes back. What happens next?
A miss means your attempt to gain advantage has backfired. You acted too slowly, presumed too much, or were outwitted or outmatched. [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]].

** Undertake a Journey
When you travel across hazardous or unfamiliar lands, first set the rank of your journey.
- Troublesome journey :: 3 progress per waypoint.
- Dangerous journey :: 2 progress per waypoint.
- Formidable journey :: 1 progress per waypoint.
- Extreme journey :: 2 ticks per waypoint.
- Epic journey :: 1 tick per waypoint.
Then, for each segment of your journey, roll +wits. If you are setting off from a community with which you share a bond, add +1 to your initial roll.
On a *strong hit*, you reach a waypoint. If the waypoint is unknown to you, envision it or roll the [[elisp:(rpgdm-tables-choose "locations")][locations]] or [[elisp:(rpgdm-tables-choose "location-descriptors")][descriptors]] tables (or [[elisp:(kill-new (format "- %s %s" (rpgdm-tables-choose "location-descriptors") (rpgdm-tables-choose "locations")))][both]]), or even the site-specific [[elisp:(rpgdm-tables-choose "site-name-detail")][detail]] or [[elisp:(rpgdm-tables-choose "site-name-description")][description]]s, to help describe the waypoint. Then, choose one:
- You make good use of your resources: Mark progress.
- You move at speed: Mark progress and take +1 momentum, but suffer -1 supply.
On a *weak hit*, you reach a waypoint and mark progress, but suffer -1 supply.

This is Ironsworn’s travel move. When you set off or push on toward a destination, make this move.
First, give your journey a rank. Decide how far—and how hazardous—it is based on the established fiction. If you’re unsure, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]]. Most of your journeys should be troublesome or dangerous. Formidable or extreme journeys might require weeks within your narrative, with appropriate stops, side quests, and adventures along the way. An epic journey is one of months, or even years. It is the journey of a lifetime.
If the journey is mundane—a relatively short distance through safe territory, —don’t make this move. Just narrate the trip and jump to what happens or what you do when you arrive.
**** Along for the Ride?
If you are part of a caravan or party of NPCs, and aren’t an active participant in the planning or execution of the journey, you won’t make this move or track progress. The journey will be resolved in the fiction. You can [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] to determine what happens en route or when you arrive.
**** Allies and Journeys
If you are traveling with allies, one of you makes the *Undertake a Journey* roll for each segment, and you share a progress track. The responsibility for leading the journey can switch from segment to segment as you like.
Your fellow travelers can assist by making the [[file:../relationship/aid-your-ally.org][Aid Your Ally]] move. Perhaps they are scouting ahead or sustaining you with a lively song. They can also Resupply to represent foraging or hunting for supplies en route. Everyone should offer narrative color for what they do and see on the journey, even if they are not making moves.
Only the character making the move takes the momentum bonus on a *strong hit*. But, because your supply track is shared, each of you mark -1 supply when the acting character makes that choice on a *strong hit* or when they suffer a *weak hit*.
**** Waypoints
If you score a strong or *weak hit* on this move, you reach a waypoint. A waypoint is a feature of the landscape, a settlement, or a point-of-interest. Depending on the information you have or whether you have traveled this area before, a specific waypoint may be known to you. If it isn’t, envision what you find. If you need inspiration, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]].
Depending on the pace of your story and your current situation, you may choose to focus on this waypoint. A settlement can offer roleplay opportunities or provide a chance to recuperate and provision via the [[file:../relationship/sojourn.org][Sojourn]] move. In the wilds, you might make moves such as [[file:make-camp.org][Make Camp]], Resupply, or [[file:../secure-an-advantage][Secure an Advantage]]. Or, you can play out a scene not involving moves as you interact with your allies or the world. Mix it up. Some waypoints will pass as a cinematic montage (doubtlessly depicted in a soaring helicopter shot as you trudge over jagged hills). Other waypoints offer opportunities to zoom in, enriching your story and your world.
When you roll a match, take the opportunity to introduce something unexpected. This could be an encounter, a surprising or dramatic feature of the landscape, or a turn of events in your current quest.
**** Marking Progress
When you score a hit and reach a waypoint, you mark progress per the rank of the journey. For example, on a dangerous journey you mark 2 progress (filling two boxes on your progress track) for each waypoint. When you feel you have accumulated enough progress and are ready to make a final push towards your destination, make the [[file:reach-your-destination.org][Reach Your Destination]] move.
**** Travel Time
Travel time can largely be abstracted. The time between waypoints might be hours or days, depending on the terrain and the distance. If it’s important, make a judgment call based on what you know of your journey, or [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]].
**** Mounts and Transport
Horses, mules, and transport (such as boats) influence the fiction of your journey—the logistics of travel and how long it takes. They do not provide a mechanical benefit unless you have an asset which gives you a bonus (such as a Horse companion).
**** Managing Resources
You can intersperse Resupply or [[file:make-camp.org][Make Camp]] moves during your journey to manage your health, spirit and supply, or to create new scenes as diversions. Don’t be concerned with using the [[file:make-camp.org][Make Camp]] move as an automatic capstone to a day of travel. You can be assumed to rest and camp as appropriate without making the move, and you can roleplay out those scenes or gloss over them as you like. When you want the mechanical benefit of the [[file:make-camp.org][Make Camp]] move, or you’re interested in playing the move out through the fiction, then do it.
**** On a Miss...
You do not mark progress on a *miss*. Instead, you encounter a new danger. You might face hazards through the weather, the terrain, encounters with creatures or people, attacks from your enemies, strange discoveries, or supernatural events. Decide what happens based on your current circumstances and surroundings, roll on the [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]] table, or [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] for inspiration. Depending on your desired narrative pace, you can then play out the event to see what happens, or summarize and apply the consequences immediately.
For example, you roll a *miss* and decide you encounter a broad, wild river which must be crossed to continue on your journey. If you want to focus on how you deal with the situation, play to see what happens by making moves. You might [[file:../secure-an-advantage][Secure an Advantage]] by exploring upriver for a ford and then [[file:face-danger.org][Face Danger]] to cross. Or, if want to quickly push the story forward, you could fast-forward to a perilous outcome such as losing some provisions during the crossing (suffer -supply). Mix things up, especially on long journeys.

** Battle
When you fight a battle, and it happens in a blur, envision your objective and roll. If you primarily…
- Fight at range, or using your speed and the terrain to your advantage: Roll +edge.
- Fight depending on your courage, allies, or companions: Roll +heart.
- Fight in close to overpower your opponents: Roll +iron.
- Fight using trickery to befuddle your opponents: Roll +shadow.
- Fight using careful tactics to outsmart your opponents: Roll +wits.
On a *strong hit*, you achieve your objective unconditionally. Take +2 momentum.
On a *weak hit*, you achieve your objective, but not without cost. [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]].
On a *miss*, you are defeated and the objective is lost to you. [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]].

:END:
This move is used as an alternative to a detailed combat scene. When you want to zoom out and resolve a fight in a single roll, make this move.
First, consider your objective. Are you trying to defeat your foes? Hold them off until reinforcements arrive? Defend a person or place? Reach a position? Envision the situation, your strategy, and what you intend to gain or avoid.
Then, roll and envision the outcome. A *strong hit* is unconditional success. Your foes are defeated, surrender, flee, or give up their objectives as appropriate to the situation and your goals for the fight.
A *weak hit* means you’ve achieved your overall objective, but at some cost. Since this is the resolution of an extended scene, the price you pay should be dramatic and meaningful. This can include suffering a significant amount of harm, failing to achieve a secondary goal, or encountering a new danger or complication. If in doubt, roll on the [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]] table, or you may pick from the *weak hit* options in the [[file:end-the-fight.org][End the Fight]] move.
A miss on the Battle move should have dire ramifications on your character and your quest. This objective is lost to you. What does that mean? Are you captured? Gravely wounded? Have you failed to save a loved one? Is the settlement overrun by raiders? Must you [[file:../quest/forsake-your-vow.org][Forsake Your Vow]]? Consider the situation and the intent of your foe, and [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]]. Make it hurt.
Use the Battle move as you like. If your story doesn’t emphasize fighting, or you’d rather generally abstract combat encounters, you can use this move exclusively. You can also drop it into some portion of a larger scene. Perhaps you Battle to quickly deal with lesser foes, then handle the fight against their leader with standard combat moves. The mix of Battle moves and more detailed fight scenes can help you pace your gaming sessions and let you focus on what is interesting or important.
Battling Alongside Allies
When you and your allies fight together, only one of you makes the move. Others can make the [[file:../relationship/aid-your-ally.org][Aid Your Ally]] move, using stats as detailed in Battle. Resolve those moves first, and then Battle.
On a *strong hit*, all of you benefit from the narrative success, but only the character making the move gains the momentum bonus. On a *weak hit* or miss, all of you suffer an outcome as appropriate to the situation. When in doubt, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]].

When your foe has initiative and attacks, and you choose to fight back, make this move.
First, envision your action and the fiction of the exchange. Is this a focused, dramatic moment where you each seek an opening? Or is it a flurry of attacks and parries, advances and retreats? The outcome of the *Clash* determines if your foe presses their advantage, or if you take control of the fight.
On a *strong hit*, you inflict your harm and steal back initiative. On a *weak hit*, you manage to inflict harm, but your foe retains initiative and you must [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]]. The price might be that you [[file:../suffer/endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]] as your foe counters. Or, you may face some other dramatic outcome as appropriate to the current situation and your foe’s intent.
On a *miss*, you fail to inflict harm and must [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]]. This fight is turning against you.
As with the [[file:strike.org][Strike]] move, each point of harm you inflict is marked on your foe’s progress track, as appropriate to their rank.
If you aren’t actively fighting back—you’re just trying to avoid the attack or seeking cover—you should [[file:../adventure/face-danger.org][Face Danger]] instead of *Clash*. Using that move gives you more flexibility to bring a favored stat into play, and you suffer a relatively minor cost on a weak hit. Unfortunately, you also give up the opportunity to inflict harm on your foe.
If you ever respond to an attack by just taking the hit, that’s not a move. The outcome isn’t in much doubt. [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]].

** End the Fight
/Progress Move/
When you make a move to take decisive action, and score a *strong hit*, you may resolve the outcome of this fight. If you do, roll the challenge dice and compare to your progress. Momentum is ignored on this roll.
On a *strong hit*, this foe is no longer in the fight. They are killed, out of action, flee, or surrender as appropriate to the situation and your intent ([[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] if unsure).
On a *weak hit*, as above, but you must also choose one.
- It’s worse than you thought: [[file:../suffer/endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]].
- You are overcome: [[file:../suffer/endure-stress.org][Endure Stress]].
- Your victory is short-lived: A new danger or foe appears, or an existing danger worsens.
- You suffer collateral damage: Something of value is lost or broken, or someone important must pay the cost.
- You’ll pay for it: An objective falls out of reach.
- Others won’t forget: You are marked for vengeance.
On a *miss*, you have lost this fight. [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]].

*End the Fight* fulfills your previous moves and the progress you have made in this scene. This is the all-or-nothing moment where the fight is decided. Is your foe defeated? Is your victory a pyrrhic one, and tastes of ash? Does your foe suddenly turn your assumed advantage against you?
Since this is a progress move, you add the number of filled boxes on your progress track for this foe, whether it’s a single enemy or a pack. This is your progress score. Only add fully filled boxes (those with four ticks). Then, roll your challenge dice, compare to your progress score, and resolve a *strong hit*, *weak hit*, or miss as normal. You may not burn momentum on this roll, and you are not affected by negative momentum.
You can End the Fight only after you score a *strong hit* on a preceding move. Your setup move can be any action, but should be framed as a decisive maneuver or response, intended to bring the fight to a close.
If you find yourself struggling against a tide of *weak hit*s and misses, unable to make this move, consider building and then burning momentum to get back control. Use your favored stats and assets to improve your chances. However, keep in mind that End the Fight is not the only way to resolve a combat scene. You can flee. You can give up. You can negotiate or force a surrender. End the Fight represents the conclusion of a bloody, desperate combat, with both sides committed to see it through.
On a *strong hit*, envision how this foe is defeated. If you still face other foes (using separate progress tracks), you have initiative and the fight continues.
If you score a *weak hit*, your victory comes at a cost. Choose a listed outcome as appropriate to the circumstances. Then, consider the narrative implications of your choice and how it impacts what happens next.
On a *miss*, you should face a dramatic and dire consequence. Are you captured? Mortally wounded and left for dead? Is someone under your protection killed? Is an important objective or vow now lost to you? Make a choice as appropriate to the situation and the intent of your foe, or roll on the [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]] table and interpret the result as severe. /Make it hurt/.
When you and your allies are fighting against a common foe, you share a progress track. Any of you may attempt to End the Fight. If you then score a *weak hit* or miss, consider how your choice impacts the group and who suffers the cost as appropriate to the situation.

Make this move when combat is joined. Set up your progress tracks for your foes and roll to see who is initially in control. Then, play to see what happens.
If you are fighting with allies, each of you make your own move to Enter the Fray. The outcome determines your initial positioning and readiness. You and the other players then envision the scene and make moves as appropriate. If you have initiative, you are positioned to make proactive moves. If not, you make moves to defend against attacks or get into position. If you and your allies are fighting against common enemies, you share progress tracks and mark the harm you each inflict.
If you are fighting a group of troublesome or dangerous foes, you can combine them into a single progress track. This is called a pack. Managing your progress against a pack is easier than tracking them as individuals, and will make combat go a bit faster. For a small pack (about 3 to 5), increase the rank by one. For a large pack (about 6 to 10) increase the rank by two. If you are facing more than 10 troublesome or dangerous foes, group them into smaller packs and associated progress tracks as appropriate.

On a *strong hit*, you strike true. By default you inflict 2 harm if you are armed with a deadly weapon (such as a sword, axe, spear, or bow), and 1 harm if not. A *strong hit* on this move gives you an additional +1 harm (so, 3 harm with a deadly weapon). You may also have additional bonuses provided by assets.
Each point of harm you inflict is marked as progress on your foe’s progress track, as appropriate to their rank. For example, each point of harm equals 2 ticks when fighting an extreme enemy, or 2 full progress boxes when fighting a dangerous enemy.

** Ask the Oracle
When you seek to resolve questions, discover details in the world, determine how other characters respond, or trigger encounters or events, you may…

- Spark an idea :: Brainstorm or use a random prompt.
| Odds | The answer is ‘yes’ if you roll... |

:VISIBILITY: folded
:END:
In solo or co-op play, use this move when you have a question or want to reveal details about your world. In guided play, the GM may use this move to answer their own questions or inspire the story of your game session.
**** Draw a Conclusion
The most basic use of this move is to simply decide the answer. Think it over for a moment (or talk it out with others at your table), and go with what seems most appropriate to the current situation and introduces the most potential for drama and excitement.
Your first instinct is often the right one. If it leapt to mind, it’s probably a good fit for the current situation. But, if your initial impulse doesn’t really excite or interest you, give it more thought. Wait for an “aha” moment.
If you’re still not sure of the answer, or want to put things in the hand of fate, you have some other options...
**** Ask a Yes/NO question
You can ask a binary yes/no question and leave the answer open to fate.
- “Is this steading inhabited?”
- “Do I drop my sword?”
- “Is there somewhere I can hide?”
- “Do I know the way?”
- “Would she consider this trade?”
Decide the likeliness of a ‘yes’ answer, and roll your oracle dice to get the result. For example, if you rate the chance of a ‘yes’ as ‘unlikely’, you must roll 76-100 for a yes. Otherwise, the answer is no.
**** Pick Two
The next option is to ask a question and pick two viable results.
- “Do I drop my sword or my shield?”
- “Is it in the forest or the hills?”
- “Does the elder bear try to pin me down, or does it bite?”
- “Am I attacked by a horror, or a beast?”
- “Is this a formidable foe, or a dangerous one?”
You rate one of those as ‘likely’, and roll on the table. If it’s a ‘yes’, the answer is your likely pick. If not, it’s the other. Use this approach when the answer is more open-ended, but you have a couple of options in mind.
**** Spark an Idea
The final option is to seek inspiration through an open-ended question.
- “What happens next?”
- “What does she want?”
- “What’s this place look like?”
- “What do I find?”
- “Who or what attacks?”
If you’re in a game with other players, you can talk it out. Brainstorming together will lead you to interesting answers you might not have thought of on your own.
You can also use random generators to help inspire an answer. See chapter 6 for creative prompts and random results. Or, use your preferred tools, such as an online generator for interesting names, or a set of tarot cards or rune stones for visual inspiration. When asking an open-ended question, use tools which offer a spark of inspiration instead of a definitive response. Your creative mind will lead you naturally from an abstract concept to a relevant answer, adding exciting and surprising dimension to your story.
**** Questions Upon Questions
You can come back to the yes/no table and ask a follow-up question to clarify or affirm a result. However, you should avoid leaning too heavily on asking questions (or this move in general). Don’t let one question snowball into a series of more specific questions. Even when playing solo, oracles should be the spice of your game, not the main course. Ask a question or two, decide what it means, and move on. When in doubt, follow your gut. Your first instinct is probably the right one. Go with it.
**** Rolling A Match
A match on your oracle dice when rolling on the yes/no table should trigger an extreme result or narrative twist. This can mean an all-caps “HELL YES!” or “HELL NO!”, or a yes or no but with an interesting or dramatic complication.
When you’re unsure what a match might mean, you can roll on another oracle table for inspiration. If you’re still left scratching your head, just move on. Resolving a match is not a requirement. It’s just a way to introduce narrative turning points that lead you along unexpected paths. Head down the rabbit hole, but don’t get stuck in it.
**** Oracles and Guided Play
In guided play, your GM is the oracle. You won’t make this move unless you are talking things out and need a random result or a bit of inspiration. Your GM can use this move (or ask you to make it) to help guide the story.

** Pay the Price
When you *suffer the outcome of a move*, choose one.
- Make the most obvious negative outcome happen.

- [[elisp:(rpgdm-tables-choose "pay-the-price")][Roll on the following table]]. If you have difficulty interpreting the result to fit the current situation, roll again.

:END:
This is one of the most common moves in Ironsworn. Make this move when directed to by the outcome of another move, or when the current situation naturally leads to a cost through your choices or actions.
First, choose an option as described in the move. You may determine the outcome yourself, [[file:ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] to decide between two options, or roll on the table. In guided play, you look to your GM for a ruling. Whatever choice you make, always follow the fiction. If a dramatic outcome springs to mind immediately, go with it.
Next, envision the outcome. What happens? How does it impact the current situation and your character? Apply the outcome to the fiction of your scene before you determine any mechanical impact. Focusing on the narrative cost leads to deeper, more dramatic stories.
Finally, apply any appropriate mechanical penalty:
- If you face a physical hardship or injury, [[file:../suffer/endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]] and suffer -health.
- If you are disheartened or frightened, [[file:../suffer/endure-stress.org][Endure Stress]] and suffer -spirit.
- If you lose equipment or exhaust resources, suffer -supply.
- If you waste precious moments or are put in an unfavorable position, suffer -momentum.
- If an ally or companion is put in harm’s way, apply the cost to them.
When in doubt, suffer -2 from the appropriate track.
Most situations can impact both the narrative situation and your mechanical status. But, a result might also be purely narrative without an immediate mechanical cost. An initial failure might introduce a complication or force a reactive move (such as [[file:../adventure/face-danger.org][Face Danger]]). A failure on a subsequent move can then introduce a mechanical penalty. In this way, failures build on each other, and the situation gets riskier and more intense.
The narrative and mechanical costs you endure should be appropriate to the circumstances and the move you are making. Scoring a *miss* on [[file:../combat/end-the-fight.org][End the Fight]] implies a greater cost than if you fail to [[file:../combat/clash.org][Clash]] within that scene. For dramatic moments and decisive moves, up the stakes.
Once you’ve resolved the outcome, envision what happens next and how you react. You are not in control. The situation is more complex and dangerous. You may need to respond with another move to restore your advantage and avoid further cost.
**** Rolling Matches
If you rolled a match on a move, and the outcome of that move tells you to Pay the Price, you can consider rolling on the table instead of just choosing an outcome. This fulfills the promise of the match by introducing a result you might otherwise not have considered. When in doubt about what a result on the table might represent (for example, “a new danger or foe is revealed”), you can [[file:ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]]. However, rolling a match on the Pay the Price table itself doesn’t have any special significance.

Make this move when you decide to abandon a quest, or if circumstances leave your goal seemingly unobtainable.
For an Ironsworn, realizing you must Forsake Your Vow is a dramatic and disheartening decision. Tradition says the item upon which you swore your vow—your sword, your armor, the iron coin—is discarded. Some clans even believe you must cast away all of your weapons and armor and bear no iron until you redeem yourself.
Mechanically, you [[file:../suffer/endure-stress.org][Endure Stress]], reducing your spirit track by an amount equal to the rank of your quest (troublesome=1; dangerous=2; formidable=3; extreme=4; epic=5). Narratively, you should consider how your failure affects your story and what you do to put yourself back on the proper path. Did you swear this vow in service to others? How does this impact your relationship with them? If your vow was a personal quest, how does this failure force you to rethink the path your life has taken? Where do you go from here?
If you have abandoned a quest which is central to your character’s motivations, you may decide your life as an Ironsworn is done. If so, [[file:../relationship/write-your-epilogue.org][Write Your Epilogue]] to determine your fate.

** Fulfill Your Vow
/Progress Move/
When you achieve what you believe to be the fulfillment of your vow, roll the challenge dice and compare to your progress. Momentum is ignored on this roll.
On a *strong hit*, your quest is complete. Mark experience (troublesome=1; dangerous=2; formidable=3; extreme=4; epic=5).
On a *weak hit*, there is more to be done or you realize the truth of your quest. Envision what you discover ([[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] if unsure). Then, mark experience (troublesome=0; dangerous=1; formidable=2; extreme=3; epic=4). You may [[file:swear-an-iron-vow.org][Swear an Iron Vow]] to set things right. If you do, add +1.
On a *miss*, your quest is undone. Envision what happens ([[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] if unsure), and choose one.
You recommit: Clear all but one filled progress, and raise the quest’s rank by one (if not already epic).
You give up: [[file:forsake-your-vow.org][Forsake Your Vow]]

Your path leads here. Your foe is defeated. The relic is found. Your training is complete. The village is saved. The beast is killed. The murder is avenged. Your family’s honor is restored. You are triumphant.
Or are you? Make this move to find out.
Since this is a progress move, you tally the number of filled boxes on your progress track for this quest. This is your progress score. Only add fully filled boxes (those with four ticks). Then, roll your challenge dice, compare to your progress score, and resolve a strong hit, weak hit, or miss as normal. You may not burn momentum on this roll, and you are not affected by negative momentum.
When you and your allies are working to fulfill a common vow, you share a progress track. When it is time to see the vow done, one of you represents the group and make the Fulfill a Vow move. The outcome affects everyone involved.
On a *strong hit*, your vow is fulfilled. Mark your experience, clear the vow, and decide what you do next. Do other quests call you into the wilds? Or, do you [[file:../relationship/write-your-epilogue.org][Write Your Epilogue]], never again to return to your life as Ironsworn?
On a *weak hit*, you discover or realize something which leaves your quest unfinished or undermines your success. Envision what you learn (or [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]]), make your choice, and play to see what happens. Whether you leave this behind or take on a new quest should be driven by the fiction and your choices as the character. Have you defeated your foe in a bloody fight, but they use their dying breath to say your true enemy still lives? You might [[file:swear-an-iron-vow.org][Swear an Iron Vow]] to hunt them down. Have you helped return the clan chief to power, only to learn his promises were lies? You can *Swear an Iron Vow* to usurp this deceiver, or simply leave this place, promising never to return.
On a *miss*, a turn of events finds you defeated or your true goal is suddenly beyond reach. The band of raiders were a diversion, and a more dangerous force has stolen away with the winter stores. The crown of kings is found, but it is a forgery. You’ve hunted and defeated the wyvern, but discover it was only one of a large flock of beasts. If you choose to press on, the nature of your quest remains the same—protect the village, find the crown, stop the ravages of the wyverns—but most of your progress is undone through this dramatic realization.

You will face obstacles as you strive to complete quests. Some of these obstacles arise naturally out of the fiction of the situation. Overcoming one challenge leads naturally to the next. Others represent narrative twists introduced when you interpret the result of a move, or when you [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] for inspiration. When you overcome one of these obstacles, and it was a notable challenge, make this move and mark progress on your quest.
Not every step on this path is worthy of a milestone. Did it put you in great danger? Did it cost you something significant? Did you unravel a complex web of clues and motivations? Was it dramatic and narratively interesting? Most importantly, was it directly related to your quest, and not a random or unconnected event?
How you define milestones determines the pace of your game. You need to overcome challenges to *Reach a Milestone* and mark progress. You can’t (with confidence) [[file:fulfill-your-vow.org][Fulfill Your Vow]] unless you’ve marked progress. You don’t gain experience unless *Fulfill Your Vow* You can’t add new assets to your character unless you gain experience. That’s the broad flow of how quests drive gameplay and character improvement, the tempo of which is determined by you and others at your table. If you come up against relatively simple obstacles and call them milestones, you’ll mark progress and move quickly toward completing the quest. But, if you do, you’ll miss out on storytelling opportunities and the satisfaction earned when you prevail against a worthy challenge.
Not sure if something is worthy as a milestone? If you’re playing co-op or guided, talk it out at the table. If you’re playing solo, trust your instincts and the type of play experience you want to create. In the end, it’s your game.

When you encounter a wrong that must be made right, seek to fulfill a personal ambition, or give your word to serve someone, make this move.
Fictionally, an iron vow is ceremonial. You touch a piece of iron and speak your vow. Don’t just make the move. Envision how your character enacts the ceremony. What do you do? What do you say? Is this a moment of grudging acceptance or one of fiery determination?
Set the rank of your quest based on what you know of the challenges you will face, or [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]]. Higher ranked quests require more effort (both in your narrative and through session-time and focus), but offer greater experience rewards. An epic quest could be the endeavor of a lifetime, while a troublesome quest might be resolved in a few scenes.
It is not necessary to resolve one vow before swearing another. In fact, the intent of these rules is for your character to run afoul of new situations and get side-tracked with new vows even while attempting to complete a separate quest. This is the life of the Ironsworn.
Based on the results of this move, your path may be clear (a *strong hit*), or more investigation may be required to identify your next steps (a *weak hit*).
On a *miss*, you face a serious obstacle at the very start which prevents you from undertaking this quest. It might be a sudden event, someone working against you or refusing your aid, or a personal conviction which must be overcome. When in doubt about what happens, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]]. It should be significant and not easily dealt with. Also, when you resolve this obstacle, you won’t [[file:reach-a-milestone.org][Reach a Milestone]] for your quest.

You also have the option, on a *miss*, to come to the realization that your vow was made impulsively or without support, and you may simply give up. If you do, [[file:forsake-your-vow.org][Forsake Your Vow]].
When allies join together to *Swear an Iron Vow*, one of you speaks for the group and makes the move.

You might be distracting a foe in combat, scouting ahead on a journey, or giving them encouragement as you stand against a dire threat.

When you act to persuade someone to do as you ask, or give you something, make this move. It might be through bargaining, or intimidation, charm, diplomacy, or trickery. Use the appropriate stat based on your approach, and roll to see what happens.
This move doesn’t give you free rein to control the actions of other characters in your world. Remember: Fiction first. Consider their motivations. What is your leverage over them? What do they stand to gain or avoid? Do you have an existing relationship? If your argument has no merit, or your threat or promise carries no weight, you can’t make this move. You can’t intimidate your way out of a situation where you are at a clear disadvantage. You can’t barter when you have nothing of value to offer. If you are unsure, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]], “Would they consider this?” If the answer is yes, make the move.
On the other hand, if their positive response is all but guaranteed—you are acting obviously in their best interest or offering a trade of fair value—don’t make this move. Just make it happen. Save the move for times when the situation is uncertain and dramatic.
On a *weak hit*, success is hinged on their counter-proposal. Again, look to the fiction. What would they want? What would satisfy their concerns or motivate them to comply? If you accept their offer, you gain ground. If not, you’ve encountered an obstacle in your quest and need to find another path forward.
If you promise them something as part of this move, but then fail to do as you promised, they should respond accordingly. Perhaps it means a rude welcome when next you return to this community. If they are powerful, they may even act against you. If you share a bond, you would most certainly [[file:test-your-bond.org][Test Your Bond]]. Your actions, good or bad, should have ramifications for your story beyond the scope of the move.
On a *miss*, they are insulted, angered, inflexible, see through your lies, or demand something of you which costs you dearly. Their response should introduce new dangers or complications.
Compel may also be used to bring combat to a non-violent conclusion. Your approach dictates the stat you use—typically +iron when you threaten with further violence, +heart when you attempt to surrender or reason with them, and +shadow when you use trickery. Your foe must have a reason to be open to your approach. If unsure, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]].

Also, respect the narrative weight of a bond. Don’t declare a bond with everyone in sight to add more ticks to your bond progress track. Your bonds represent true, deep connections.

If you are successful, each of you may mark a tick on your bond progress track. Only the character making the move takes the mechanical benefits of a *strong hit* (+1 spirit or +2 momentum).
Bonds can also be made between allies. One of you makes the move, and both of you may mark the bond on a hit. If you score a *weak hit*, your ally may decide what they ask of you. On a *miss*, something still stands between you. What is it? What must you do to form a deeper connection?

** Companion Endure Harm
When your companion faces physical damage, they suffer -health equal to the amount of harm inflicted. If your companion’s health is 0, exchange any leftover -health for -momentum.
Then, roll +heart or +your companion’s health, whichever is higher.
On a *strong hit*, your companion rallies. Give them +1 health.
On a *weak hit*, your companion is battered. If their health is 0, they cannot assist you until they gain at least +1 health.
On a *miss*, also suffer -1 momentum. If your companion’s health is 0, they are gravely wounded and out of action. Without aid, they die in an hour or two.
If you roll a *miss* with a 1 on your action die, and your companion’s health is 0, they are now dead. Take 1 experience for each marked ability on your companion asset, and remove it.

:END:
A companion is an NPC asset which complements your abilities and can help support your actions. When you leverage a companion on a move, you are inherently putting them at risk. If you roll a 1 on your action die when using a companion ability, you should make the companion the focus of any negative outcome for that move. Depending on the fiction of the current situation, this might include harm.
Inflicting harm on your companion might also happen as a reasonable outcome of any move, or through a roll on the [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]] table.
Your companion asset has a health track which functions the same as your own. If they face physical damage, reduce the health track as appropriate to the circumstances or the rank of your foe, and take any leftover as -momentum. Then, roll this move.
When your companion’s health is at 0 and you score a *weak hit* or miss, you cannot use their abilities until they gain at least +1 health. To aid your companion, make an appropriate move, such as [[file:../adventure/heal.org][Heal]], [[file:../adventure/make-camp.org][Make Camp]], or [[file:../relationship/sojourn.org][Sojourn]].
If your companion is killed, give yourself 1 experience point for each marked ability. Then, remove the asset. If you acquire the same type of companion through the narrative of your quest and journeys, you are free to rebuy the asset at the normal cost.
You should also [[file:endure-stress.org][Endure Stress]] and suffer -spirit as appropriate to the fiction when your companion is wounded or dies.

** Endure Harm
When you face physical damage, suffer -health equal to your foe’s rank or as appropriate to the situation. If your health is 0, suffer -momentum equal to any remaining -health.
Then, roll +health or +iron, whichever is higher.
On a *strong hit*, choose one.
- Shake it off :: If your health is greater than 0, suffer -1 momentum in exchange for +1 health.
- Embrace the pain :: Take +1 momentum.
On a *weak hit*, you press on.
On a *miss*, also suffer -1 momentum. If you are at 0 health, you must mark wounded or maimed (if currently unmarked) or roll on the following table.
| Roll | Result |
|-------+--------------------------------------------------|
| 1-10 | The harm is mortal. Face Death. |
| 11-20 | You are dying.¹ |
| 21-35 | You are unconscious and out of action.² |
| 36-50 | You are reeling and fighting to stay conscious.³ |
| 51-00 | You are battered but still standing. |
¹ You need to Heal within an hour or two, or [[file:face-death.org][Face Death]].
² If left alone, you come back to your senses in an hour or two. If you are vulnerable to a foe not inclined to show mercy, [[file:face-death.org][Face Death]].
³ If you engage in any vigorous activity (such as running or fighting) before taking a breather for a few minutes, roll on this table again (before resolving the other move).

If you fail to defend against an attack, suffer an injury, are stricken with disease or sickness, or bear the brunt of an arduous action, make this move.
When you are forced to [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]], you should *Endure Harm* if physical damage is an obvious and dramatic outcome of the current situation. Also, some moves and assets will direct you to Endure Harm as a cost or concession, and may indicate a specific amount of harm to suffer.
If you face an attack by an NPC foe, you use their rank to determine the amount of harm dealt. If the amount of harm is not indicated or obvious, use the following guidelines.
- Troublesome (1 harm) :: An attack by a minor foe, a painful injury, or a tiring effort.
- Dangerous (2 harm) :: An attack by a skilled foe or deadly creature, a nasty injury, or a demanding effort.
- Formidable (3 harm) :: An attack by an exceptional foe or mighty creature, a serious injury, or an exhausting effort.
- Extreme (4 harm) :: An overwhelming attack by a monster or beast, a grievous injury, or a debilitating effort.
- Epic (5 harm) :: An attack by a legendary foe of mythic power, a horrific injury, or a consuming effort.
If in doubt, make it dangerous (2 harm).
Next, reduce your health track by the amount suffered. If your health is at 0, apply any remaining -health to your momentum track. Then, roll.
On a *strong hit*, you are undaunted. You can regain 1 health or take +1 momentum.
On a *weak hit*, you are battered but manage to persevere.
When you score a *miss*, you need to make an important decision. Do you risk the potential for death by rolling on the oracle table, or mark a debility? The wounded debility is temporary and can be dealt with through the [[file:../adventure/heal.org][Heal]] or [[file:../relationship/sojourn.org][Sojourn]] moves, but becoming maimed is a permanent, life-altering event.
If you score a *miss* and your debilities are already marked, you have no choice. Roll the dice and hope for the best.

** Endure Stress
When you face mental shock or despair, suffer -spirit equal to your foe’s rank or as appropriate to the situation. If your spirit is 0, suffer -momentum equal to any remaining -spirit.
Then, roll +heart or +spirit, whichever is higher.
On a *strong hit*, choose one.
- Shake it off: If your spirit is greater than 0, suffer -1 momentum in exchange for +1 spirit
- Embrace the darkness: Take +1 momentum
On a *weak hit*, you press on.
On a *miss*, also suffer -1 momentum. If you are at 0 spirit, you must mark shaken or corrupted (if currently unmarked) or roll on the following table:

Make this move when your courage fails you, when you are unnerved or disheartened, or when you act against your best intentions.
When you are forced to [[file:../fate/pay-the-price.org][Pay the Price]], you should *Endure Stress* if mental hardship is an obvious and dramatic outcome of the current situation. Also, some moves and assets will direct you to Endure Stress as a cost or concession, and may indicate a specific amount of stress to suffer.
If you are demoralized or frightened by an NPC foe, you can use their rank to determine amount of stress you must suffer. If the amount of stress is not provided or obvious, use the following guidelines.
- Troublesome (1 stress) :: An unsettling incident or a frustrating failure.
- Dangerous (2 stress) :: A distressing incident or an upsetting failure.
- Formidable (3 stress) :: A horrifying incident or a demoralizing failure.
- Extreme (4 stress) :: A heart-rending incident or traumatic failure.
- Epic (5 stress) :: A soul-shattering incident or the loss of all hope.
If in doubt, make it dangerous (2 stress).
Next, reduce your spirit track by the amount suffered. If your spirit is at 0, apply any remaining -spirit to your momentum track. Then, roll.
On a *strong hit*, you are unfazed. You can suffer 1 less spirit or take +1 momentum. On a *weak hit*, you are rattled but carry on.
As with the [[file:endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]] move, when you score a *miss* you need to make an important decision. Do you risk the potential for desolation by rolling on the oracle table, or mark a debility? The shaken debility is temporary and can be dealt with through the [[file:../adventure/heal.org][Heal]] or [[file:../relationship/sojourn.org][Sojourn]] moves, but becoming corrupted is a permanent, life-altering event.
If you’ve scored a *miss* and your debilities are both marked, you must roll on the table to determine your fate.

** Face a Setback
When *your momentum is at its minimum* (-6), and you suffer additional -momentum, choose one.
- Exchange each additional -momentum for any combination of -health, -spirit, or -supply as appropriate to the circumstances.
- Envision an event or discovery ([[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] if unsure) which undermines your progress in a current quest, journey, or fight.

** Face Death
When you are brought to the brink of death, and glimpse the world beyond, roll +heart.
On a *strong hit*, death rejects you. You are cast back into the mortal world.
On a *weak hit*, choose one.
- You die, but not before making a noble sacrifice. Envision your final moments.
- Death desires something of you in exchange for your life. Envision what it wants ([[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]] if unsure), and [[file:../quest/swear-an-iron-vow.org][Swear an Iron Vow]] (formidable or extreme) to complete that quest. If you fail to score a hit when you *Swear an Iron Vow*, or refuse the quest, you are dead. Otherwise, you return to the mortal world and are now cursed. You may only clear the cursed debility by completing the quest.

You make this move when forced to *Face Death* as a result of a *miss* on the [[file:endure-harm.org][Endure Harm]] move, or when you face a physical trauma so horrific that death is the only reasonable outcome. This move is (hopefully) rarely made and a chance for storytelling and for enriching your world and its myths. Make it dramatic and personal.
When you first make this move, you should envision how the afterlife is represented in your setting, or specifically to your character. What do you see and experience? Is it only blackness and void? Do you see iron gates parting before you? Does a ferryman guide you across a blood-red river? Do you hear the songs of your kin calling you to the feast hall? On a *strong hit*, you might only catch glimpses of what lay beyond. Does your experience support your beliefs or call them into question? If in doubt, [[file:../fate/ask-the-oracle.org][Ask the Oracle]].
There is also the personage of death to consider. Does death take form, or is it nameless and unknowable? Is it beautiful and welcoming? Sly and full of guile? As grim as the coldest night? On a *weak hit*, you may decide what death asks of you, which leads to a new quest and the cursed debility as you return to the mortal world.
On a *miss*, you are dead. Envision what awaits you. You may begin again with a new character, or explore your current world and storyline from a new perspective. Perhaps your kin will avenge you?
