/// It's not that complicated actually. Don't forget the HQ 2 rules allow for one exchange per round. There's no attack/defense followed by defense/attack, just one exchange each round. Each side states the "skill/trait/magic" they'll use first.

This contest could be run in several steps : - vivamort tries to reach Ernalda's body (does it get a good position to look at it or must it remain too far, or under it, if it loses this exchange ?)

• vivamort then looks / senses using its magics against Ernalda's defense ;
• if it wins, Ernalda strikes back with some other Trait / if it loses, Ernalda has a chance to "finish it off" by blinding it completely
• if 5 RP are still not inflicted to vivamort at this point, the last exchange is to see how it departs : making troubles or quickly.

Voilà, you have your "to and fro". The most important is to keep things interesting for the players and you !
