#### Personal Campfire Story

**Vow of Peace**: Ivan loses 50% Attack, but gains half his Armor as Speech. Ivan's Try to Excite hit chance increases to 100%\*. Gain an extra 1 Encounter if you resolve an encounter Friendly.

Upon playing the card, every other crew member will comment on Ivan's decision with predetermined reactions between giving positive support (which also gives an instant 'Likes Ivan' or upgrades 'Likes Ivan' to 'Admires Ivan' on that crew-member) through a neutral reaction to a negative reaction (which also gives that crew-member a 'Wary of Ivan' or upgrades a 'Wary of Ivan' to an 'Ivan's Opposite'). Regardless of his crew-member's reaction, Ivan decides to press on with his new, peaceful role.

Supportive and helpful crew-members will be enthusiastic about Ivan's decision, gaining 'Likes Ivan' or upgrading an existing like to an 'Admires Ivan'. Brave crew-members will disapprove of Ivan's decision. Gaining 'Wary of Ivan' or upgrading an existing wariness to 'Ivan's Opposite'.

Also results in multiple events during expeditions after playing it - these can occur anytime after playing the card upon moving to a new node. They appear to be randomly selected from +1 Campaign token, +2 Encounter tokens and +4 Encounter tokens each time. The +4 Encounter tokens event will also end the story, preventing any further events from this card and giving Ivan a 'Likes (Crew-Member)' for both of his companions. This will upgrade an existing 'Likes' to 'Admires' if Ivan already Likes that Crew Member.
