This is your plan

  1. 1

    Ninja: Keep 4× Shuriken and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Walk the Line (4 dice).

    If after roll 1 4× Shuriken for Walk the Line are reachable.

    Walk the Line deals a documented 12 damage and bypasses the defence roll, so the 4 committed dice stay on the table.

    If fewer than 4 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Assassinate!.

  2. 2

    Cursed Pirate: Keep 5× Skull and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Pirate's Touch! (5 dice).

    If after roll 1 5× Skull for Pirate's Touch! are reachable.

    Pirate's Touch! deals a documented 12 damage and applies Parlay/Parlay/Powder Keg, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

    If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Black Spot.

  3. 3

    Cursed Pirate + Ninja: First Cursed Pirate, then Ninja: Parlay disrupts the opposing response to Shade Shift.

    Both documented effects are available for the same game situation.

    This coordination is documented as an interaction between both characters.
