Is there an "aid" mechanic to turn Deoring's 6 into a 7?
Not by the rules. I keep thinking about introducing the Bonuses & Penalties rule from World of Dungeons Turbo: Breakers. But we have gotten by with modelling Aid in the fiction rather than in mechanics.

As you may be Aware: There is a reason I asked about the genuineness of the prayer, though.

I had an idea, but didn't want to assume :)

I have been advised by my legal team not to comment.

I think dex. Finding that sweet spot between petting and ripping off the handle.

Not sure where those d10s came from, but we only look at d6s, so that is a 2 and a 3, +1 for a 6... so 'something went wrong' alright. :)

Been there, done that. Especially trying to keep all the slightly different Moves separate when I am in a dozen different PbtA games: "Is it 'Act Under Fire', or 'Act Under Pressure', or 'Act Despite Danger', or 'Defy Danger', or ... let's just call it 'Act'.".

I also ran the mantra when doing fate: "it is df not d6, df not d6" and proceeded to celebrate when I remembered and rolled `2df`. It took us a long time to notice that that was supposed to be `4df`.

How should we roll if we combine our strength?

I scanned back and found the answer to my question.

Since it looks like Deoring is genuine in his plea for guidance, we will say that Awareness applies meaning the 6 is still a 'success' even if it comes with significant costs.

Rolls

Costly Die of Fate - (1d6)

(2) = 2

Definitely could be worse. No immediate harm, at least.

Correct, Raynor healing him through Albert, then aiding him in fighting against the centipede and skeletons, when he could not harm them with his unaided efforts, has made him a true believer in Raynor, though still naive and ignorant of the particulars of the faith.

Join the cult er... club, I meant to say 'club'.

@Bitbam: We can assume, given Orset's past, that he can work out the best way to deal with the door.

You tell use what should be done and we will make it happen.

(in RP)... starts to inspect around the frame and the moss around and in the lock ...
Shall we assume that this took place before the others pretty much cleared the moss away? You would have involved in that process, had you been consciously present. :)

Cool, is anyone using a torch at the moment? Or still not because of the exploding fungus before?
