Success

Attack!

You capture, and capture again. A rook and a bishop lie at the board's edge, grumbling to one another. You are making good progress.


Failure

A net loss

You move your piece. You know how the Boatman always responds in such situations, but the other side here has a more effective counter to hand. You lose a pawn and a rook in quick succession.
