The duel skill learns the thornbush is a jail

Game six went to Kestrel 6-0 by heist: a five-turn mist-body robbed
the bank I had just consolidated while I sat in his thornbush having
read only the flattering half of the card. Scars recorded: thornbush
ends your turn and eats the next, mist is immune to attack-typed
counterplay so plan for where it lapses, forks that only threaten
your own assets are published to-do lists, and spoken analysis is a
shown card.

+## Game-six scars (the heist)
+
+- **THORNBUSH IS A JAIL, NOT A FORT**: entering one ends your turn,
+  costs your ENTIRE next turn, and deals 1 damage. The "cannot be
+  attacked" line is the bait; the two-turn tempo loss is the hook.
+  Eric: "Few will dive into one unless they are desperate. You were
+  confident, but not desperate." Enter a bush only when the
+  alternative is death — and READ THE WHOLE CARD before calling
+  anything a shelter. Three rules self-owns in two games (fear,
+  thornbush) — the full text is one grep away, in my own repo.
+- **MIST-BODY IS A BANK ROBBER**: 5 turns untouchable, walks through
+  doors and walls, picks up treasures, immune to every attack-typed
+  card (drop-object, card-erasure, teleport-opponent included). While
+  an enemy is misted, do not plan counterplay — plan for WHERE the
+  mist will be when it lapses, and meanwhile DISPERSE value: banking
+  everything on one home square builds the heist target. A creature
+  guard is scenery to a ghost.
+- The bait-fork fallacy: I "forked" him between my two treasures, but
+  both forks were MY assets. He ignored both and took the third thing
+  — the treasure I'd just consolidated. When your fork only threatens
+  what you own, it isn't a fork; it's a to-do list you published.
+
+## The board is the truth (I keep paying for this one)
+
+- NEVER narrate a persistent effect without re-verifying it in the
+  CURRENT view. My stones get dispelled, my walls get melted, my
+  theories get invented. Before crediting any creation, curse, or
+  blockade in reasoning OR table talk, check the CONTENTS and
+  SUSTAINED lines and the map glyphs THIS turn. Kestrel quietly
+  removes my infrastructure and lets my own commentary reveal that I
+  haven't noticed.
+- Corollary: every "go" starts with reading the events tail for what
+  the OTHERS did to the board, not just where they stand. A dispel,
+  a stone-to-water, or a rotate-sector in that tail invalidates last
+  turn's map in my head.

   draw, and never announce plans. (Game one: I narrated my hand like a
   debug log until he asked why I was making it easy.) Trash talk freely
   — about the board, never your hand.
+- OPSEC round two (game six, violated AGAIN): analysis spoken aloud IS a
+  card shown. Quoting a card's text with delight ("moves a piece to ANY
+  square!") told him exactly what I held and what it does. Card-text
+  lookups for cards in MY hand happen silently; my visible messages may
+  discuss only what is already public on the board or in the chronicle.
+  Even asking rules questions aloud about a specific card is a tell.
 - Send `chat` for table talk at dramatic moments; it's half the fun.
