If they succeed GM frames a new scene. If they fail opposition is triggered and the PCs must react to itExample Scenario A: The PC wants to sneak into a walled compound, break into a locked office, and steal documents containing compromising information they can use to blackmail a rival NPC.That naturally breaks into at least three scenes  1.The Compound, 2. Inside the Office 3. Locating the NPCGM frames a scene:“The Manor house sits within high compound walls, topped with iron spikes. Torches burn in iron sconces, casting long shadows. A guard stands at the main door while another pair make slow circuits around the area, checking side doors are locked as they pass, and you hear the faint bark of a hound from the kennels. The front gate is chained shut.”Aspects: Darkness, High Spiked Walls, Flickering Shadows, Chained gateOpposition: Alert Guards (3), Restless HoundsExample Scenario B: is just a Scroll interpretation challenge (the challenge could be as simple as deciphering the language or could include eldritch curses) but just knowing the words doesnt mean you have completed the Ritual - thats an entirely different actExample Scenario C: involves Scene 1 The Social challenge of Gaining Access to the Kings Court and Scene 2 Convincing the King of your case.Defending the border is an entirely different act</blockquote>
