Michael has Combat Paralysis=4 and Will=6. He and his friends are walking through the woods when a sizable force of mounted warriors begins charging toward them. Because Michael’s foes are well armed and armored, mounted, and trained, and because they outnumber his own group by at least 2-to-1, the GM assess a penalty of 6 to Michael’s Combat Paralysis (now=10). He rolls 6 dice for his Will, and does well, garnering 6 Ss. Unfortunately, he needed 11 Ss to act in the face of such an overwhelming foe. His failure by 5 Ss forces him to retreat. He doesn’t panic and run, but he cannot stand and fight, even if they were to catch up to him, which at this point seems likely.
