The Two Barons (OOC)

Little bump, I've been quite busy too. Will write something tomorrow.

Cool. No worries.

Sorry for the delay on my part as well. Been spending too much time with other hobbies. I'll do my best to post once a day again.

Is Olaf laughing off the mistake or is he angry?

Embarrassment leads to anger, not sure what anger leads to, but it can't be good.

I think I just broke my "words per sentence" record!

Question for @Airshark and @Fossball:
I'm thinking of having Albert snapping and letting it all out. That way we wouldn't have to tip-toe around 'the mission' anymore. But it might mean that Olaf, Chrisitan and Olga send us packing.

Do you guys think it's a good idea or not? I don't want to ruin things you may have planned.

I was hoping that Nixon would initiate such an event.

Like:
- Nixon doesn't know who we are
- the real adventurers are waiting at the right baron
- some other thing that would expose us.

But if that was not vague's plan, we can also get it over with now.

I am fine with Albert snapping.

Who is Nixon?

Sorry, I was a bit behind. Reading the forum explains the forum :)

Dunno

Any preference, vague?
Another person we'll have to pretend to know about? :P

Nope. I can cope with whatever you throw at me. :)

The truth is that there is no other set of 'real' adventurers, you are it. But that does not mean that there is no 'fake news' that you not them and that there is a real group out there. But I had not 'planned' anything of that sort, so that will only come to pass if you decide you want to make that into a thing (adding yet another complication that needs to be unwound:).
That will have implications. I am glad I did not get round to replying to Roal about the next meeting.

How you handle this will affect what happens next... significantly. Let me know OOC if you are not barging ahead with this lie.

I think we may need a poll

So Olaf knows Nixon.
Maybe comming clean will help.

From what Christian has said ([ref] and [ref] for instance) you get the impression that only Olaf knows Nixon. You may have to read into it a bit, but you get the impression that Christian slightly resents that he does not get to meet their informant.

Maybe Christian will be upset to learn that you also know Nixon, if you lie about that.
But Olaf might not be willing/happy to introduce you if you don't. He seems like the sort to value the power such a contact gives him.

Whatever you do, we will make it work. There may (finally) be some dice involved.

It has been done.
Do I need to make any rolls?

The only 'misread' is that no one implied that the mayor 'sent you to join the resistance'. That was speculated upon by the player's characters, and sorta agreed that you all wanted to continue with that mistake. Everyone pretty much claims the mayor does not know about them in any significant way.

If you still want to keep that bit in here, they will deny it. How big a deal it is is up to how you react to that denial.
Probably, but it depends on what you are trying to achieve. We may need a bit more before a roll is properly triggered, but I fear we may degenerate into a shouting match unless something calms the situation.

The best a roll could do now is reduce how pissed off everyone else is about your 'lies'. Maybe we need that to allow the scene to continue? Maybe +CHA; and on a 6- you get kicked out of the house (into the night and the rain); on a 7-9 you are allowed to spend the night in the barn and could try to talk again tomorrow and will have the night to maybe work out some more clues; on a 10+ you can continue the conversation now, but they are still pissed, or come back to it tomorrow morning when everyone is a little calmer; on a 12+ you can continue now and maybe they laugh off the misunderstanding?

Maybe someone else can add a bit more that changes the stakes and gives you a better roll?

I guess it's something Albert might believe to be true (up until now). If it gets denied, that's fine. I don't think it should be a big deal. It would also create more credibility towards Theo.

I like the idea of that CHA roll. I was thinking in the same direction :)
I'll add it to my post. I trust your judgement on the outcome.

I will be away for the next week and a don't know if I will have acces to the internet. It may sound weird but I guess Airshark and the Generator won't be too surprised to hear me utter these words. I'm still using 1990's tech for my socials :)

Norbert is off to bed, so I hope it doesn't is too much of a speedbump for you guys.

No worries. We will work around Norbert for now (mainly by just ignoring him:). Let us know when you get back and we can slot you back into the action and see what he may have been doing in the background-meantime.
