Not quite. You are suggesting an extended contest for preparation,
followed by a simple contest for the termination. I'm suggesting that
the whole thing could be one extended contest. Although, for your
specific example, unless the characters were extremely powerful, I'd
probably want to make assassinating Fazzur a series of episodes
rather than only one scene (contest).
