Field notes
The described combat includes roundtime, range, telegraphed heavy blows, and skills that grow through use. New players can try a training yard where deaths cost nothing, or skip it and return later. The page also describes optional group play, including a five-player raid, alongside solo encounters supported by a hired hand.
