Since 2014, RPGaDay poses daily questions about RPGs in August.
Since 2015, we resist by delivering daily thematic material for RPGs in August.
This year, the theme of the alternate August activity was to be “allies”. Ally-a-Day.
But what is that? The enemy appears to lower their arms. Instead of posing questions, RPGaDay2019 presents single word prompts, suddenly opening a path leading past the About towards the For.
While we do not wish to ignore the hand so offered, neither do we wish to cast out our allies because the enemy for once appears conciliatory.
Neither just RPG-a-Day nor just Ally-a-Day.
Not or, but and.
Not minus. Plus.
RPG+Ally+a+Day
Day 23: Surprise + Allies
The Glint
The bag of this magical murderer contains 20 marbles: 5 red ones, 9 blue ones, and 6 white ones.
The Smile of the Glint: Whenever the Smile distracts a target with a successful skill contest, the Glint may immediately perform a surprise attack against the target, drawing a number of marbles equal to the number the Smile won the contest by. This is handled as a combat challenge resulting in a deathblow.

The Smile
The bag of this suave slitter of throats contains 20 marbles: 5 red ones, 9 green ones, and 6 white ones.
The Glint of a Smile: Whenever the Glint distracts a target with a successful magic contest, the Smile may immediately perform a surprise attack against the target, drawing a number of marbles equal to the number the Glint won the contest by. This is handled as a combat challenge resulting in a deathblow.
