Thank you very much! I wish you a lot of luck with your next play: Maybe you, too, will have the joust event pop up just so you can get a good laugh. Ha ha!

Great question! I tend to use up the 4 starting fate tokens pretty early on, typically about 1/3 to 2/3 of the way through the adventure. It’s not a great strategy, yet I usually try to save them for influence tests. No successes during the first attempt will turn a stranger into an enemy, so I try to avoid that situation if it makes sense!

I also forgot about the way rumors can be used as fate for my first few plays. It’s tricky to amass a lot of them unless there is some luck with encounters that involve the right weaknesses. Borrin didn’t get so lucky this time around!

I agree about focusing some more. Likely I’ll try to use fate more sparingly in the future, particularly to at least save something for the Ancient battle! My hands were tied here because it was the final day and I had to rush to complete the assault deed. Hopefully, I’ll be a little more efficient next time!
