Quote: font color="lightslategrey" face="Lucida Sans Unicode">First one must know the trap is there and that it is a trap.Perhaps, but Vinnie can be a little distracted sometimes, especially around Liu Xi. She can keep him from falling into traps during those times. Quote: font color="lightslategrey" face="Lucida Sans Unicode">That's the narrative problem, though. Villains like Grimpenghast can reasonably be expected to be cleverer at diabolicic contracts than even the brightest lay person. Liu Xi would be better in a situation like that to demand a different set of rules in a different game altogether.That's kind of what I meant. She wouldn't sign the contract, instead she would try to change the rules. But *if* she had to sign it for some reason, she would try and change those rules too, either by demanding a loophole she can use later, or by knowing that one exists.

He's made good.In that case Liu Xi's job becomes making sure he doesn't fall for it. | |||||||
