Success

'ow's about you take just a little bite out of the frog?

The Page of Teeth's few friends accost the target with their practiced enthusiasm and politeness. Afterwards, he's parted with any valuables on his person; more important for the purposes of the game, he's ingested a few selected poisons.

Failure

Overexcited

The umpires watch with horror as the Page's friends simply stab the target repeatedly and run off with his pocketwatch. This is very much not counted as a valid strike, and in fact causes a prolonged stoppage of play.
