	Characters who are hostile to the individual making this call '''should''' where possible focus on the individual (or individuals) who have issued it, allowing all other characters friendly to the individual who is challenging with this call to make use of the distraction to escape, accomplish a goal, or whatever they need to do while hostile characters focus on the individual sacrificing their life to make this happen. This can be multiple individuals at which point hostile characters may split their attention between those two, but they should only pay attention to other characters in situations where they legitimately can't ignore them (such as bodily blocking them from moving towards the individual to attack them in melee) at which point they should fight them only to get them out of they way and pursue the individual who made the call instead.

			This can be multiple individuals at which point hostile characters may split their attention between those two, but they should only pay attention to other characters in situations where they legitimately can't ignore them (such as bodily blocking them from moving towards the individual to attack them in melee) at which point they should fight them only to get them out of they way and pursue the individual who made the call instead. This effect is '''narrative''' and as such takes precedent over what characters might logically do.

			Unlike in most situations where hostile NPCs will be briefed not to 'finish off' characters, it is encouraged for them to do so here as such challenges are only issued when a protagonist is about to die - especially so if roleplaying out death-blows would only further delay them from stopping the issuing characters allies escaping or achieving their goals.

			This has no effect on Player Characters as it can only be issued by one, this cue is a signal to NPCs that they '''should''' where possible focus on the individual (or individuals) who have issued this challenging call, allowing all other characters to make use of the distraction those individuals are causing with their heroic final stands - unlike in other circumstances, NPCs are encouraging to roleplay lethally ending the lives of characters who have done this ''especially'' where it would further delay them from paying attention to other characters.
