Success

Abstract toxins

The target is [...] eager to give up his soul [...] The King cups his head [...]

"Oh, my dear. [...] your soul is [...] not suitable." Their honeyed eyes are unfailingly kind. [...] the target is begging the King to reconsider. The umpire [...] concedes [...] not all poisons are chemical.


Failure

The indirect approach

The target proves surprisingly reluctant to surrender his [...] soul, no matter how many well-reasoned arguments or insidious rhetorical flourishes you present. You suggest [...] a more direct approach to poisoning[...]. The King[...]'s glare could wither a poppy field.
