| Situation | How to Play Willow | How to Play Alex | |-----------|--------------------|------------------| | | Ask probing questions, roll “Gather Info” or “Hacking” checks. Use her “instinct” to notice odd patterns (e.g., a glitch in an AR billboard). | Provide tactical support, set up perimeters, use “Surveillance” or “Combat” checks. Offer blunt assessments that can cut through red‑herring clues. | | Combat | Prefer agility and improvised weapons (e.g., a broken pipe, a fire‑extinguisher). Use “Distract” moves to give Alex an opening. | Take the lead on firepower, use cover, and coordinate “Suppressive Fire.” If Willow is in trouble, use “Cover” or “Rescue” actions. | | Dialogue | Slip in sarcasm, but let her show genuine concern when the stakes get personal. Use “Persuade” or “Intimidate” when dealing with informants. | Keep language concise, occasionally dropping a dry joke. Use “Intimidate” sparingly; rely more on “Command” or “Inspire” when leading a small team. | | Moral Dilemma | Push for the “right” answer even if it endangers her; she’ll argue for the truth. | Argue for the “pragmatic” answer; he may sacrifice a detail for safety. Use the clash to generate tension. | | Secret Reveal | Drop a cryptic clue about her past (e.g., “I once lost a friend to the Signal.”). | Reveal a hidden tattoo that matches a Syndicate emblem, hinting at deeper involvement. | The Holloway house was a sprawling Victorian structure
