The GM decides that being caught in the act is about as bad as things can get, so she assigns a 4-level penalty to Jack's Cowardice (now=7). He rolls 8 dice for Will, and does well, getting 5 Ss. Unfortunately, he needed 7 Ss, so he failed his Will roll by 2 Ss. Jack quickly assesses the situation. Big Pat, for all his size, is not a skilled fighter. He is also currently unarmed, while Jack himself is a skilled swordsman with his favorite weapon by his side. He does <strong>not</strong> feel that his life or career is likely to be in jeopardy, so even though he failed his Will roll, the situation sufficiently favors him that he is under no obligation to immediately take a cowardly action.		<blockquote>
