Action “combo stride, ready, attack, put away”

For this attack to work, your weapon must not be ready. Declare an opponent, then exhaust this gift.

In one combination action, you ready your weapon, you move your Stride towards a target, you attack your target, and then put your weapon away. (Yes, you put your weapon away even if your attack fails, it’s that quick.)

Your other action this turn can be any other action, as long as it’s not “ready”, “attack”, or “put away”, since you can’t take the same action twice in the same turn.

Any witnesses to your attack must score two successes on a roll of Mind, Observation, and Species vs. 3, or they totally didn’t notice your attack. (They may claim a bonus d12 to this roll if they have Insider with the Forest Ghosts – they’re wise to your tricks.)
