Sub-Plots2

Nominate a single fighter at the start of the campaign, and set it the assassin's task. This sub-plot resolves when that fighter has taken an enemy Leader or Champion Out of Action in three separate battles and survived each of those battles, never itself taken Out of Action — three perfect strikes and three clean fades, the craft proven across a whole season.

When the third perfect kill is done, the craft is complete: the fighter earns The Unseen Blade honour for free, and the gang gains a permanent reputation bonus as the Chapter's proven assassin walks its line. Should the nominated fighter be taken Out of Action before the third kill, the count resets and the sub-plot may be attempted again. It can be claimed only once per campaign.

This sub-plot begins to close when, across the campaign, your gang has won three battles in which your Leader was never within an enemy fighter's line of sight at the end of any round — three victories commanded entirely from the dark, the enemy never once seeing the hand that beat them.

When the third such win is taken, the shadow-war is proven the only way to fight. Your gang gains a permanent hidden-deploy upgrade — one additional fighter may always be set up hidden — and a lasting reputation bonus as the Chapter that wins unseen. The count of qualifying wins carries across the campaign and cannot be lost once earned. This sub-plot can be claimed only once per campaign.
