I'm afraid Norbert is to flustered to get on a table or so. He will look to the older men for guidance.

Indeed. Waiting to see how Albert gets on in the kitchen (since you all waited for that before charging in?). Then we can resolve Roald's 6-
May 1, 2023 8:46 pm
Looks like the guy will help us. With those 6s, that's very welcome :D
May 1, 2023 9:58 pm
I thought 6s were bad? You mean two of a bad thing is a good thing? :)

Any bad stuff happening to Roald?

Roald waited a minute for Albert to enlist the barkeep, so those actions and 6s have not happened yet. Once we have the kitchen resolved we can see what happens to Roald.

But so did Norbert.

The idea was to wait a short while and then storm in, the two of us. Shock and awe.

Yes, but Norbert's answer was obvious and a simple copy/paste. :)

Yours was a little complicated by being a compound action of move-and-attack and only part of it being affected by the Athletics Skill. Your attack fails, but your movement does not?

Why don't you narrate what happens, based on what you are aiming to do. We can then treat that as the point Albert's negotiations end and they join you.

Would it be possible to start our own rebellion, let the men convince their friends of our good intentions and march on the baron?
Talking didn't do any good, right?

If they are farmers, they probably don't like the baron anyway and might root for the enemy they don't know instead of the one they do know 😉

... Would it be possible to start our own rebellion ...
Sure. Most things are possible to try.
Airshark says:
... let the men convince their friends of our good intentions ...
That might be a valid firebrand, but, as things stand, they don't yet trust your 'good intentions'. So the best you could hope for would be for them to slowly help defuse the direct accusations and hostilities. They don't know you didn't do it, they just aren't convince you did anymore.
Airshark says:
... and march on the baron? ...
To what end? Anyway, that could come later, but that is a big step. If you want it, we can work towards it.
Airshark says:
... If they are farmers, they probably don't like the baron anyway ...
Hmm... yeah, sure, but many people don't like their 'bosses', moving from that to outright rebellion is not a thing most people do.

Everyone is struggling a bit, but the barons are not putting huge demands on the farmers to produce, so the neglect in the fields is not directly the barons' fault. If anything, the barons should really be more harsh for the good of the valley. Until things get really bad the farmers might still like these absentee barons?
Airshark says:
... might root for the enemy they don't know instead of the one they do know ...
Might do. What would that actually achieve in the world? You want these people to put the other baron in charge instead? You think he is any better? If your characters believe that, you can make moves to do that.
Airshark says:
... Talking didn't do any good, right? ...
In what way? Talking is seldom the quickest 'solution'.

Did Daryl get kidnapped because of a bad roll somewhere a heap of posts ago? Just wondering :)

A combination of some bad Fate rolls, a string of middling character rolls, and ongoing decisions... like 6 months ago, yeah.

We will decide if they agree to come with and help you after we see how the offered healing goes.

The mayor is a pompous ass, he tried to name both his children after himself. :)

(in RP)"And when dit you guys leave from the little farm?" Norbert adds to Alberts question.
I am not quite sure what you are asking. Explain and I will post an answer.
May 15, 2023 8:34 am
Did they leave in the morning? Where they ambushed there? They were gone when we got back and I was wondering about their day.

Is Roald going to mention the gold to Albert?

It might be easier to justify 'spending' it to level up while you are at a 'shop' with some people. Before the climax of the adventure is also a time when you can more easily justify it to yourselves as 'for the greater good' and all that.

I am not saying you need to 'level up before what comes next'. That option has been on the table for months and is not specially related to these events.
