On the Road (OOC)

There is nothing wrong with posting twice in a row.

I was going to just do a "Alycine tries to interpret the map" then do a Decipher skill roll, am I supposed to decide what is actually on the map instead of the GM? Same with the tattoo thing.

It is up to you how much you want to decide. We will try to incorporate as much of it as possible, but many things we say can later turn out not to be true.
If you want you can use the roll to suggest how much you get, or even how extraordinary your findings are.

If you can't think of anything, you can roll and will come up with something for you to learn.

Nanoka: Decipher would probably be +INT, especially with the way you described it. You can type 2d6+1 in the dice box to have it include that stat.

That makes it a 7, so a partial success, and at something you are good at, to boot.

Do you want to say what you find? Or at least start us off, we can always add more and even refer back to this later to be help in times of trouble.

Tried something, let me know if that's fine :)

Remember: The Captain's dismissiveness does not equate to the GM's attitude, she is just an NPC. :)

Cook will hold off his apperance until the rest find the bandit camp.

GM, has Meht noticed anything from watching the way the others react to the information, now he's trying to understand people, or does everyone seem to be sincere (which is how it seems from the text, so perhaps there's nothing to find)? Happy to roll if necessary.

The captain definitely is worried about something the others don't know about. It appears she might know (or suspect) something from the tattoo.

She is the only one with any experience venturing away from the civilised areas, so it makes sense she may have encountered things like this before. She does not seem to like what she thinks is going on, and seems genuine in her desire to put a stop to it.

All your characters are welcome to pick up on this if you think they pay attention to that sort of thing, or to miss this if they are not (yet) good at reading people. Either way, there is not enough here for you to know anything for sure, if you want to follow up on this be prepared to get shot down for being presumptuous.

Hey guys. I've been a bit crook the last few days. Look I might pull out of this. I don't think this play by post sort of thing is really my cup of tea.

Sorry to hear that, but we completely understand, it does not work for everyone.

You are welcome come back again if you ever want to try again. There may also be other games around that suit you better.

Go well.

Rook: Maybe toss us a Charisma roll to see how they take your mercenary suggestion? :)
6- would get a negative reaction and move you down in their estimation. 7-9 would either get you some coin or avoid a negative reaction (choose after rolling), and a 10+ would have them agree and pay everyone d6x10 silver (netting you good will from the others getting paid), a 12 would get you four times that much silver (and thrill everyone).

Got a 7 - If it looks like the Captain or the Merchant are reacting poorly, Rook will let the matter drop rather than piss anyone off. He's not too hopeful about the bandits having worthwhile loot, considering how poorly they were armed, but figures there's always a chance he'll stumble across something and either way he gets away from the camp for a while.
