Run_risk

Definition:

A Protagonist is described as being exposed to a potentially dangerous situation that may end in a Bad_outcome for him- or herself. An Asset which is in danger of loss may stand in for the Bad_outcome. There is no implication that the Protagonist intentionally exposes themself to the risky situation. The Severity of risk involved may also be expressed.
