[OOC] Aqua Mortis

So Mask is a base easy, Additional Illusion effect would be +1 Difficulty die, Range would be another +1 so we can be at Short Range to one another and Realism would be another +1.....so that would be a Daunting difficulty.....going to flip a Story Point to use Brilliant Casting and get another 4 advantages so 6 in total....

Base success gives the mask on two of us, using 2 advantages to push that to all three (assuming we're leaving Janey at the hut). Also with the Realism would push the difficulty to see through the Mask to Hard, using the other 4 advantages to Increase it another 2 times up to Daunting (it specifically says "increase" additional effect and if I remember right that's add dice isn't it?)

That all looks good, mcneils5. I've been flying cross-country all day and am spent. I'll narrate the tavern tomorrow. What are you masking yourselves as?

3 humans would probably be best, make us look like people from the local area so we don’t attract too much notice

+5 XP for December! Please let me know if you spend any banked XP .

This is a very risky move, so let's hear from mcneils5 before we go down the suicide road :D

I have 85XP available to buy 5 levels of deceit and then we can use extra buffs. Nekurr the charming cat turns into a sneaky cat to replace Nera 😒

We're all currently human...

LOL. Yes, Mcneils5 seems to be out at the moment. Happy to hold tight a bit longer. Remember you can always augment yourself too to get an extra die to roll on any social checks coming up. :)

Love the name! :D

Been hoping to hear from @Remnant, but I fear the holiday slowness may be upon us. I'll update tomorrow.

New job, nothing to add really currently.

Ah, congrats on the new job! No worries at all. We got overly busy today. I'll try to get into the office tomorrow, which should spare me some time to post tomorrow.

hey congrats and delayed merry Christmas :D

I kinda wanted to say as to why I'm looking over her head is she's not on my level if we stall how much more grey hairs and coins per day are lost. Worse case after she's fired we can just pick up the project and request some tax free sanctioned transactions...

Hitting the rack I'll try to get something up in the morning.

No worries. I think @mcneils5 is still in the holiday slowdown, so we're not rushed. :)

So I'd likely have a clever retort before trying to negotiate but what are we trying to actually get out of this that's feasible. She has eggs claims deniable, can't look at the ledgers, can't be in the tunnels unsupervised/guarded. So Tronus angle for the negotiation will likely be the moneyball angle, she's not playing the game so she's not winning and she's not making money. No eggs? Can't get possible funds from magical or historical groups in the region for samples from mysterious artifacts. Can't look at the books, we've no idea if she's over budget, out of scope, and off schedule but Imma assume yes. We've no idea if we're signing on to someone embezzling her founding setting us up as the fall guy for this joint project. Guarded operations throw out a dangerous or shady operational activity inside. But I'd agree if negotiations work well stating our employees will deal with the problem and her from now on would be beneficial. Why would we do that? We trust those demi humans and we're not as heavily invested as to put our neck on the chopping block along side this woman since we've seen what she's incapable of.
