    The Fight is a non-lethal event. PCs can make action rolls using their highest trait to throw food up to Close range or narrate the use of their attacks, spells, or abilities within the fiction of a non-lethal Fight. PCs gain a Mess Token each time they are hit with food. Mess Tokens last until a PC takes the time to clean up or their next rest.

    Questions
    • What goal can be accomplished under the cover of chaos? Who do you really want to hit with some food? Who will be gunning for you?
  • Dirt Off Your Shoulders

    A PC can remove a Mess Token while under pressure by succeeding on a Finesse Roll to clean up.

    Questions
    • What do you use to frantically wipe the stains away?

Actions

action
  • Throw Food

    Target a PC with an attack (+0). On a success, they gain a Mess Token. On a failure, the food hits a nearby NPC instead.

    Questions
    • What food item was thrown? Who is the NPC and what's their response?
  • Edible Onslaught
    Fear 1

    Spend a Fear to have each PC make an Instinct or Agility Reaction Roll to avoid an onslaught of flying food. PCs who succeed gain a Hope but mark a Stress. Those who fail gain a Mess Token and become Dizzy. While Dizzy, they have disadvantage on their next action roll then the condition ends.

    Questions
    • Is this a coordinated effort by a rival? If so, what faction do they lead? What got thrown that you were unable to avoid?

Reactions

  • Record Scratch
    Fear 1

    When a PC throws food, you can spend a Fear to summon an Authority Figure that is hit by the PC’s toss. Each PC must mark a number of Stress equal to the amount of Mess Tokens they have and the Authority’s “Impressionable” Feature triggers for every Mess Token.

    Questions
    • What terrified sound escapes your mouth just as the projectile hits? What punishment will this Authority enforce?
