Just ask the player for clarification of what s/he intended by his/her Belief!Also, as a side note, and alluding back to an earlier, semi-rhetorical question from [MENTION=6682826]CH[/MENTION]aocou, PCs in BW don't have "story arcs".Then the two of your roll dice against one another! That's the whole point!(And in fact the episoe of play we've just preluded is the same as that in The Sword, the introductory BW scenario discussed upthread, except that in that scenario the conflicting Beliefs aren't about rightful kingship but rather rightful ownership of the sword.)In one of the RM campaigns I GMed, one of the players had the (informally flagged) goal for his PC "I will rule the wizards by Vecna's side". Another player's goal for his PC was "Vecna will never conquer the empire". How were these resolved? The first PC stood by while allies of Vecna sacrificed the second PC to their dark gods - then struck a deal with those same Vecna-ites in which he sold out his home city in exchange for political privilege.There's no predetermined story arc here. There are PCs with goals, and players advocating for those PCs, and play. After play has happened, we know what the story of each PC was.Yes. As I put it upthread, the relationship between siege and city is an internal one - an essential constituent element of the siege.I'm puzzled by the fact that some posters seem to find this puzzling!</blockquote>
