[ Yor would protest Phoenix is not Just Like This but...she also has been caught too many times Like This for it to be convincing. she's very sure that Phoenix, when not associated with her, is Like Something Else though! ]
Oh no, we don't want to keep you from your reading! Otherwise we would invite you to play but...it's only for two players...and we don't want to annoy you with bell noises even if they're the pretend kind. Again, I'm really sorry, Mr. Kim Dokja!
Personally, I'm just going to say "I end my turn" even if it makes me sound like a cartoon. If you want to say "ding"... sure. Whatever. I'll know what you mean.
I don't think it makes you sound like a cartoon. Those usually end with some kind of malevolent laughter or they trail off for some reason, like they want someone else to respond but aren't expecting it.
You're seriously not playing anything else? Eh, none of my business. The bell is the bell. No take-backs.
[1. It calculates damage, giving itself 1 more point of damage from Yor's Stoat (for 2 out of 5 damage). 2. It slides its Hawk forward to be on the field, in front of Yor's Warren. 3. It draws a squirrel and plays it on the back row. 4. It replaces it with a Warren which will appear in front of Yor's Stoat. 5. A Rabbit appears in its hand. It keeps the Rabbit for now.]
I end my turn.
[And finally, it calculates damage from the Hawk, rolling 3 points so that now it's 1 out of 5 damage on Yor's side of the scale.
Yor's hand is currently unless I messed up one Warren and one Rabbit. Do you draw a SQUIRREL, or draw from the MAIN DECK?]
Oh, right! You're saying that and not the bell noise.
[ she knows that apparently rabbits can't fight so drawing from the MAIN DECK which is the adder so she puts down the adder over the rabbit, then hesitates because it costs two blood? ]
So...I need to give you the warren and the rabbit to play the snake?
[ picking up the scattered cards and shuffling them from the floor...then shuffling them again in front of Stoat just so it knows she would never cheat! ]
Sorry, I'm really trying to get into this game! I guess I got a little too involved.
I can't believe they blocked off access to all the perfectly good bells. What a buzzkill.
[Time to move again!!
1. Calculating damage. The Hawk perishes from the poison. Yor's Stoat deals another point of direct damage. The scales are perfectly balanced again. 2. GM-Stoat's Warren card slides forward to sit in front of the Stoat. 3. It draws from the main deck.]
I end my turn.
[The scales remain balanced. Yor has one Warren in her hand. On the board she has an unopposed Adder, and a Stoat in front of GM-Stoat's Warren. She has TWO squirrels left in her squirrel pile, and THREE cards left in her main pile. Does she draw a squirrel, or a mystery main deck card??]
[ she draws a squirrel because she has grasped these are needed to feed other predator cards (even if a Warren is neither an animal or a predators home) ]
We can maybe look for a different kind of bell for the next game. I-if you want to play with me again that is...
[Attack phase: 1 point of direct damage to Stoat, and 1 HP taken off of the Warren. (The cards, through card game magic, display their damage without any tokens required.)
Draw phase: Stoat draws a squirrel. It is its last squirrel.
Stoat's drone picks up the damaged Warren in its claw.]
So... Since the GM doesn't usually pay cost, there's not really a protocol for me removing things from the board to sacrifice. But my options are too limited if I can't, so I'm gonna. I'll just keep playing things in the back row once I pay for them, OK?
[It moves both the Warren and the Squirrel to the discard pile. It plays an Adder in the back row, ready to move up to where the Warren was next turn, in front of Yor's Stoat.]
I end my turn.
[Yor has one Warren and one Squirrel in her hand. She has one Squirrel in her draw pile. An Adder is going to appear in front of her Stoat next turn!!]
[ said with the confidence of someone who has no idea what's going on. how do the means of production work in a squirrel-based economy. this is nuts. ]
And if we find a scale later then we can borrow it with no problems, since it doesn't summon anybody I think. There isn't a summoning item for any other teams, right? If there were, I'd guess...it would be Phoenix, right? It looks like a bird perch...
[ she draws from the non-squirrel pile and puts down her squirrel and rabbit, then sacrifices them. she puts her recently drawn card down on the furthest lane. ]

There are plenty of other options for the same effect as a bell around here.
And there are multiple bells in various locations, so please take care with any bells left out on surfaces.

...you don't get summoned if we make pretend bell noises though, do you?

Definitely don't use the clock tower bell.
Anyway, while I'm here, is there anything else needed or can I get back to my book?

I'm sure you're at an exciting part you really want to finish. Yuri was like that too, and he became so smart because of all the reading he did.
[ this one is more to Stoat ]
It doesn't have to be important or even fill out a bingo square as long as you're having fun with your hobby, right?

You countered the Hawk, so you cleared the most basic bar. Good job. But say "ding" more decisively next time!
