[OOC] Death & Taxes

To clarify, Remnant: SIR will burn Leadership, but your uncanceled successes will still contribute to the 20 successes needed. Are you planning to go that route? I think it would make total sense for Tronus to go first in that case, and I'm happy to retcon him in. It might push Hildar's roll over the edge to success.

To emsquared's point, yes, 1 advantage = 1 boost to your ally; 2 advantages = 1 boost to any specific person in the group. That means you can pass 2 boosts to any one specific person for 3 advantages (next ally + "specific" ally who happens to be next ally). SIR's effects stack onto this, of course.

In the olden days of Star Wars, people often interpreted the "pass 1 boost to the next person" as something you could choose multiple times, but I believe the devs have stated that it's only possible to choose that one time in Genesys to avoid the dice-snowball effect.

Well that works for me then. Cool cool I'm put something up in the thread ICly now.

I rolled an additional boost from Tronus and it got Hildar a success! Huzzah!!

April means +5 XP! Maybe enough to grant you an edge in the last hours of this adventure?

Beyond that, hope everyone had a nice restful holiday if you're in a place that observed it.

CESN, what's were-Nekurr doing to help evacuate the town?

OK, we can wrap the rest of the adventure up IC. Are you leading the refugees to the nearest town? Running ahead to get support for them? How many people can Hildar teleport?

Hildar can transport himself and up to 5 others but it really pushes the difficulty up (would be rolling against 4 x Difficulty and 5 X Setback dice) so it might not be viable. It was my last gasp, may as well try it, contingency if things really took a turn and it looked like we were all about to die

OK, then, sounds like it's a long slog back to Nornholt. I'll post a denouement early tomorrow. Let me know if there's anything specific any of you would do.

We can just walk/march them? Everyone's got feet, injured can be dragged... humans... its less than 60 miles we can make it within a week.

Yeah walking looks like our only option at this stage, at least until we get to some sort of civilisation. Once we hit a town the authorities there can deal with some of the refugees maybe, thinking those particularly old and young who aren't in any shape for a longer journey.

I think the only question is if we just take them to Tamalir because... closer?

That is an interesting question. I think you might have considered Tamalir, but you know the people there would have no obligation to offer the villagers refuge, since they're from a different barony. Nornholt is farther, but a safer bet.

I'll move to the conclusion soon, meeting back up with the client. But I wanted to give you a chance to strategize if you wish about what you want to tell her. She certainly didn't get her wish that this whole affair be kept hush-hush. :)

😱
A bird came and killed everyone? 🙄

LOL. Remember that there's apparently going to be an official inquiry into the whole matter, so what you tell your client may come back to haunt you when the baron's knights start looking into things. :)

I figure we go with the truth.

Hildar wouldn't sugar coat things, this may be a bitter pill to swallow but the client may be able to spin things to the duke that they suspected something iffy was going on and they sent us in to quietly investigate and deal with matters if things turned out to be bad.

Sorry for the delay, folks. Had a busy weekend, and wife was out for doctor's appointments all day (baby on the way), so I had to look after baby #1. I'll wrap things up soon!

Also... since everyone is dead, can't we just blame it all on Anzila, who actually escaped and should be captured?

I mean, we stoped an evil ritual worshiping dark gods. The mayor/villagers dying wasn't us, but Anzila's plotting?
Argus Inquiries' did nothing wrong :D

Mayor dying was backlash from late payment. Not a lot of 'innocent' villagers died. We're investigation specialists no inquisitionists... well not for the job, that's a higher rate. ;)

I mean I know Bruv's dead, but as a player I'm just here, sitting at the table until the "Session" is done, as it were...

So. since we're talking OOC I'd say we don't have to hide the reason for or justify the Mayor's death. He was sacrificing ppl, every year, for all of his adult life. He was evil. He tried to stop us from unearthing that. He died for it.
