Here's a ritual for the basic game!

Often when we're playing games and find ourselves in a spot unaddressed by the rules it is not because of the situation we are currently in, but because of some misunderstanding earlier in our play that sent us off course. It can take a while to notice something's gone awry and even longer to trace our footsteps back to the origin of our misadventure.

The purpose of this ritual is to give us room to make those mistakes and a way to right them once we realize we have. To let the stars guide us back to the path of our game.

The Ritual of the Astrolabe
When you notice that things have gone afoul of the rules and there is no clear path back to your original course, invoke the Ritual of the Astrolabe. The current phase ends immediately without concern for what is left to be done in the tale or at the table. Take a moment to stretch your thews and slake your thirsts. Once all the rogues have gathered again, the Overplayer makes a single Rogue Phase style demand of one of the Rogue Players that will show us how what was left unsaid is now resolved. Then start your new phase and proceed with confidence.
