Events & Confrontations

Sometimes the world forces a decision. A guard blocks your
path, bandits spring an ambush, or a citizen accuses you of a crime.
When this happens, normal commands are blocked — you MUST
choose from the numbered options before play resumes.

HOW IT WORKS:
  1. A scene is described with context and stakes.
  2. Numbered choices appear. Some may be greyed out
     if you lack the gold, skill, or stats required.
  3. Type a number (1, 2, 3...) or keyword to choose.
  4. Your choice plays out — combat, skill check, dialogue.
  5. Normal play resumes.

COMMON EVENTS:
  Guard arrest     — Surrender, fight, flee, bribe, talk
  Ambush            — Fight, surrender, flee, intimidate, pay
  Accusation        — Deny, confess, deflect, intimidate
  Story scenes      — Custom choices for quests and story arcs

GREYED-OUT CHOICES:
  Some options require gold, stats, or items you don't have.
  These appear dimmed with a reason (e.g. 'Not enough gold').
  You can see what you COULD do if you had the right stats.

SKILL CHECKS:
  Choices may show a skill hint like '(Agility 40)'.
  This means the game rolls against that stat to determine
  success or failure. Higher stats = better odds.

TIMEOUTS:
  Some events have a timer. If you don't choose in time,
  a default action is selected automatically.
