Battle:Thy Will Be Done
Part of the Thy Kingdom Come Arc
How Does This Work?
For the final battle in Thy Kingdom Come, we'll be using the battle system devised during the Surface Tension arc.
Story Stakes
The stakes listed below are for story. Although some stakes may say "and allies dies" or "and people get pushed off a cliff" assume those are NPCs. Damage to characters is determined by the players themselves. If you want your character mortally wounded, go for it, regardless of outcome of the duel.
