... sorry for being absent. ...
No worries.
Airshark says:
... If I'm too late with my reply, just ignore it. ...
What you said still fits with what we went with, and there are interesting tidbits on there that we can incorporate into their reactions.
Airshark says:
... they believe we will help the baron ...
With a Disposition of 2, that makes sense.
Airshark says:
... Everybody always assumes the worst ...
So true. Though what the 'worst' is can vary a lot. :)
Airshark says:
... up to us to change their mind ...
Pretty much. At least you have time to plan and prepare and arrange the best approach.
Airshark says:
... persuade them that they would be better off with a strong leader in a stable economy ...
True in theory, but you just don't know enough about the local politics to know if that means keeping or getting rid of this particular baron and risking it with 'the devil they don't know'.
Airshark says:
... And we will be trying to accomplish that. ...
Are you saying you will be trying, or that you are trying to convince them that you will be trying?

Hehe, the latter at first. And than we'll see how things work out. 😉

If there is a way to sneak up on them, Norbert will ask if anyone wants to tag along and he will check how big the group is and maybe get a feeling for the "vibe" in the mob.

Hopefully that is answered in the RP. If not, ask as many questions as you need about the fiction or the mechanics of how to do the sneaking (mechanically you probably 'just do it', but your actions in the fiction may call for rolls which we will deal with as they come up).

I would say Norbert does the talking at first, since he is a familiar face.

Is that ok?

We will all chime in afterwards anyway probably 🙂

It looked like you were thrusting Theo forward, but he can not roll dice, so one of the PCs needs to take responsibility for how it goes.

The dice roller does not need to be the person talking or taking the lead, but they do need to do something to alter/define the situation. Remember that farmers don't live in the village, and might not respect the village mayor, or his son, but if you roll well, then that approach will be a good one.

Roll it, fossball :)

The pressure!

Rolls

Does the resistance love us? - (D6)

(4) = 4

Fiction first though. :)

Norbert has a +1 on cha. But I don’t think he will be very close to Theo when they meet the resistance. So that might not help.

fossball says:
... Norbert has a +1 on cha ...
Most dice rolls are 2d6+1 (for CHA), those 1d6s we have been rolling since you joined are The Die of Fate, which is outside the normal resolution system and don't care about your character or their characteristics.

If you plan to roll plus Charisma, add another d6 to bring this up to 2d6, then we can add the +1 to that.
fossball says:
... I don’t think he will be very close to Theo when they meet ...
It does not have to be at the time the meet. Your roll can have bee to do something before we get there, anything to prepare things or change the situation.
fossball says:
... So that might not help ...
Tell us what you are doing, show us the fiction and then we can see how it helps, the dice will say how well it goes, but we can not judge that without knowing what you are trying to do.

Norbert will keep himself to the background for now.

If Albert introduces himself Roald will do so next. then the resistance can tell us their names. And spare Theo the embarrassment of not knowing who is who.

fossball says:
Albert moves among the resistance and nods to familiar faces. Once he gets to Olaf he asks in a conversational manner "We seem to be just in time. What is the plan?"
I think you used my character's name instead of yours. Haha! :D

Yeah, we ended up with lots of berts in various forms, I was getting worried when the innkeepers names came out of the generator, and then figured we should probably change his name after we got Norbert, the nearby baron's name as pronunciation changes that might help.

I often advise players not to pick names that start with similar sounds, as that regularly results in the wrong name being used, but similar endings should not be a problem once we get used to the names.

TheGenerator says:
(in RP)... Without giving Theo a chance to respond he continues ...
(Unsurprisingly) Albert is doing a lot of talking. Seems to be me we need a CHA roll to see how well he can cover for (poor confused?) Theo and get the lad to follow his lead, and whether the farmers are accepting of strangers at this crucial time of their man-oo-vers.

Hey, look at that, I didn't roll a 1 on either dice. It's a miracle! :D

I need more sleep, I guess. I believe next tuesday I have a few hours sheduled :)

I think we're going to need an NPC list in the wiki section. I'm starting to lose track of who is who.
Do you have an overview of he NPCs, vague? If not I'll try to make one this weekend.
Sep 22, 2022 7:33 am
I hope that helps.

I avoided actually doing introductions of all the farmers' resistance but we can get to know any of them as we need.
