Laws of Engagement

Declare yourself to worthy prey or strike unseen from shadow.
The middle path is dishonor and cowardice.

Use the cloak for stalking through darkness.
Never use it for striking the final blow.

Announce your presence to prey who have earned it.
Then accept their response with honor.

Know the difference between sacred duel and tactical ambush.
Choose one and honor your choice completely.

Once engaged in combat, retreat only to advance later with advantage.
Never retreat in surrender.

To wound and release is cruelty without purpose.
To kill cleanly is mercy with honor.

Prey that runs has made their choice to flee.
Hunt them accordingly without hesitation.

Leave no wounded enemy to suffer without purpose or lesson.
End them or heal them. Choose.

The hunt ends in death or escape complete.
There exists no middle ground between these fates.

If you cannot finish the kill with honor, you should never have started the hunt at all.
