Trial of Champions shortest play ever?

After a month on other projects, I’m glad to crack open a game book again. Let’s go back to Trial of Champions!

I rolled the dice for a new character and… Skill 8 / Stamina 21 / Luck 10

With a skill of 8, I doubt that I’ll even survive the gladiatorial phase.

… And…

Yep, I’m dead.

The first trial is the foot race. I rolled against my skill, rolled a 9 which is higher than my 8, and was put to death over a sprained ankle. The end.

This book is really unsatisfying.
