Calamitous Carnage & Sagacious Swordcery

ASSUME ABSOLUTE COMPETENCE
BUT MERE COMPETENCE IS NEVER ENOUGH
IF YOU FIGHT YOU LOSE
IF YOU DON'T FIGHT YOU ALSO LOSE

WHEN CHAOS REIGNS AND COMPETENCE IS INSUFFICIENT
THESE RULES CANNOT HELP
DECLARE THE ODDS FOR MORTAL STRUGGLE
AND LET THE DICE FALL WHERE THEY MAY

THE WORLD IS ENDING
IT MAY ALREADY BE TOO LATE
THE CARNAGE WILL NEVER END
THE SWORDCERY IS NOT ENOUGH
