Antlered Warden still stands. The movement changes; the next exchange is yours to read.

Antlered Warden / 2 blood remaining

INTENT: OVERHEAD AXE

The antlers tilt back; both hands climb the haft. Ward turns the heavy blow aside.

Burn interrupts the enemy. Mend spends your turn: the enemy still attacks. Damage and costs are shown on each choice.

Your move

Strike / deal 1; take 3 blood

Ward / deal 0; take 0 blood

What you carry

No keys yet. A lantern, a weapon, and a road into the dark.

Mercies kept: 0 of 3. Weapon: hazel wand.
