Playtest LAST ADMISSION: five fixes, one new guard

Played it through in Foundry with the six on their civilian sheets. Five
defects, all of the house's favourite kind — a number written down that nothing
reads.

  1. Pollard and Agyeman were armed and armoured as CIVILIANS. The police trade
     kit carries a revolver and a stab vest, which is right for a serving
     officer and wrong for a British civilian, and it ended the scenario's only
     fight in a single round. expandFromRegister's civilian mode now strips
     firearms and body armour from trade kit as well as induction and standing
     issue, and the build throws if one gets through. Wren Finch keeps her
     knife — a knife is not an issued weapon.

  2. Old Marrow's shears were a utility knife. The page said 1d8+1; the actor
     in the pack held 1d4+2, so a GM running off the token had a different
     fight from the one written down. He now carries a billhook — an actual
     garden tool that is already in the catalogue — and the page says 1d8+2,
     which is what a billhook does.

  3. He was too soft to be the fight the scenario promises. At the original
     numbers he died in an average of 2.4 rounds and in 6 runs of 20 he was
     dead before he ever swung. Retuned over thirty runs to HP 20, armour 2:
     about four and a half rounds, somebody hurt in 28 of 30, somebody dropped
     in 9 of 30. The verification run took four rounds and left Pollard on
     eight hit points.

  4. Two stat lines disagreed with the generated sheets — Marrow 16 against 15,
     Enderby 13 against 12.

  5. Two rolls had no failure written: the body, and Sammy's ankle pull. The
     body is now marked "no roll" outright, because there is no better answer
     to buy. The pull has a fumble result.

New guard: check-behaviour parses the scenario's own fight line out of the page
HTML and compares it to the actor the build will generate — hit points against
hitPoints(CON,SIZ), armour against naturalArmour, and shear damage against the
catalogue entry for whatever he is actually holding. Verified it bites by
reverting the damage to 1d8+1.

+## Playtest note — one run, six characters, 12 August
+
+Played through in Foundry with the six on their civilian sheets. Five things came out
+of it, all now fixed:
+
+1. **Pollard and Agyeman were armed.** The `police` trade kit contains a revolver and a
+   stab vest — right for a serving officer, wrong for a British civilian, and it ended
+   the only fight in one round. The civilian build now strips firearms and body armour
+   from trade kit, and the build throws if one gets through. Finch keeps her knife.
+2. **Old Marrow's shears were a utility knife.** The page said 1d8+1; the actor in the
+   pack carried 1d4+2. He now carries a billhook — a real garden tool in the catalogue —
+   and the page says 1d8+2, which is what a billhook does.
+3. **He was too soft.** At the original numbers he died in 2.4 rounds and in 6 runs of
+   20 he was dead before he swung. At **HP 20, armour 2** he lasts about four and a half
+   rounds, somebody is hurt in 28 runs of 30, and somebody goes down in 9.
+4. **Two stat lines disagreed with the sheets** (Marrow 16 vs 15, Enderby 13 vs 12).
+   Both corrected, and `check-behaviour` now parses this document's fight line and
+   compares it to the actor the build generates.
+5. **Two rolls had no failure written.** The body (now marked *no roll*) and Sammy's
+   ankle pull (now has a fumble result).
+
+The run itself: Act One's optional Spot clues both missed and cost nothing, because the
+essentials are automatic. Ashcroft found Edith Crane on Research. Braithwaite failed the
+body twice, which no longer matters. Renshaw broke Sister Enderby by walking the sixth
+person back into the room without a die being rolled. Braithwaite fumbled the ankle pull
+on a 100 and Sharrock hauled him out. Marrow took four rounds and put Pollard on eight
+hit points. Renshaw talked Tunnicliffe down on a Persuade success. Panel down at 23:40.
