'''A Game of Cat and Mouse''' was a [[genetic memory]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]''</ref>

==Description==
''The Witnesses are a group of old companions of [[Eivor Varinsdottir|Eivor]], ''[[jarl]]skona'' of the [[Raven Clan]], sent to help her by [[Niamh of Argyll|Niamh]], the [[Women of the Mist|Woman of the Mists]]. Eivor recently returned from [[Ireland]] when worrying rumors reached her ears: a group of [[Mercenary|mercenaries]] led by a mysterious knight have been [[raid]]ing her territories. These raiders seem to be searching for Eivor herself.<br><br>Concerned about the situation, Eivor devises a plan to gather information. She allows herself to be captured by the mercenaries in order to discover their true motives..''

==Intro==
As your eyelids slowly open, you find yourself bound to a chair, your arms tightly secured behind your back. Your vision adjusts to the dimly lit surroundings, illuminated by the flickering flames of a small fire in the corner of the room. The air is filled with a cacophony of indistinct voices, muffled by a loud buzzing sound. You notice five people rummaging through your belongings, scattered on a nearby table, their chatter blending with the crackling of the fire. Suddenly, the creaking of the [[wood]]en door draws your attention, and a man enters the room. He is clearly a knight—his attire is lavish, his garments meticulously groomed, and a finely crafted [[sword]] hangs at his side. Engaging in a brief exchange of words with the other men, the distinguished figure directs his attention towards you, approaching with an air of mockery: "Ahahaha, well, well. It seems I was correct in my assumption. I always suspected that your reputation was nothing more than embellishments and the sweat of others.

Now, my [[Norse people|Norse]] friend, do enlighten me. Where is [[Excalibur]]?"

At that moment, the door swings open once more, revealing Niamh and your trusted companions standing at the threshold, ready to fight!

==Key objectives==
<tabber>
|-|1 - ELIMINATE THE OPPOSITION=
The knight draws his sword, and the mercenaries immediately ready their weapons and attack!
;Special
Eivor starts the fight restrained, therefore she must make a Challenge to free herself if she wants to join her friends.
;Challenges
*''Well-Armed Mercenaries:'' The mercenaries are capable and well-armed, and despite the initial surprise, they fight with ferocity, selling their lives dearly. Therefore defeating them requires 2 separate Approach checks.
*''Knight of the Round Table:'' The mysterious knight, [[Leofwine (Descendant)|Leofwine]], fights skillfully.
;Weaknesses
*''I don't want to die! (minor):'' Leofwine, surprised by the situation, will surrender at his opponents' first sign of martial superiority. Witnesses can easily overcome the ''Knight of the Round Table'' Challenge if they prove skilled and deadly, perhaps by effortlessly defeating the mercenaries.
|-|2 - RETRIEVE INFORMATIONS=
Once the Witnesses have defeated Leofwine and the mercenaries, a thorough search or [[interrogation]] will gather the information they need.
;Challenges
*''Thorough Search:'' Leofwine is carrying a medallion bearing a symbol that is easily identified as referencing the [[Knights of the Round Table]], the loyal servitors of the legendary King [[Arthur Pendragon|Arthur]] who is believed to have reigned over Britain in the fifth century. Yet, the symbol seems to be a variant, suggesting a reference to [[Mordred]], the traitorous son of King Arthur. Moreover, Leofwine arrived here on a [[horse]], that if inspected is burdened by saddlebags containing a few [[coin]]s from the kingdom of [[Wessex]], some [[wine]], and a map showing the route from [[Glastonbury]] to [[Ravensthorpe]].
*''Interrogation:'' If questioned, Leofwine reveals that he belongs to the '[[Descendants of the Round Table]]', a group serving a leader they call '[[Elaine Pendragon|Mordred]]', out of their headquarters at [[Glastonbury Abbey]]—their goal: recover the mythical sword Excalibur and conquer Britain.
;Weaknesses
*''[[Eagle Vision|Eagle Sense]] (major):'' If one of the Witnesses were to kill Leofwine and then use Eagle Sense (see Skill Cards), they can obtain all the necessary information, including the location of the knights at Glastonbury Abbey and their motives, as above.
