13! I guess this guy is one hell of an athlete!
Indeed. Shall we assume your gallant moves serve as a successful 'charm' roll? Or do you want something else for you 12+ bonus?

That is fine by me.

(in RP)... My name is Roald, what is yours? ...
You are welcome to give any of these people names as you get to speak them. Else I will roll on some random table or the other.
Airshark says:
(in RP)... We are looking for our friends, they were last seen in this forest, do you know something about them? ...
Hmm... you have basically told her that you are her 'enemy', and that you are here to free their sacrifice. This right after you attacked her. This is the time you need to make your previously mentioned Charm roll, I think

The only reason you even have this chance is because you were nice to her, but your odds are not good.

On a 6- She reacts badly and you have to take steps to stop her from causing problems and possible alerting the camp.
On a 7-9 She is willing to speak to you, but is not your friend and you can't trust her words.
On a 10+ She is willing to speak to you, and will try to not lie to you if she can avoid betraying her friends, and you will have the chance to talk her round to your point of view.
On a 12+ She already has doubts and about what is happening and and will be willing to help you.

Does that sound appropriate?

I thought she wuld be easy to influence since she just arrived (scars on her feet). I guess I misjudged that, but so be it.
Kinda hoping people are not 'ok' with the sacrifice but go along and follow the leader. That will need a 12+ then! 😉

Or just recently took her shoes off a few hours ago.

Convincing them all --or enough of them-- of that will be one possible peaceful solution.

Indeed. An unlikely 12+ would make her one of the ones who is already leaning that way.

(in RP) ... "Should I try to sneek closer, Albert?" He asks well before they get to the stream.
Sneaking up to the cage area should be fairly easy. Sneaking up to (view) the camp will have more risks. Both would require a similar roll, but the outcomes would be on different scales:

If Sneaking to the cage:
A 6- would mean you can't get there, but don't get noticed and can back away and try another approach. It will also not take very long.
A 7-9 would mean you can get there if you take your time, or get there and risk being seen once there (another roll maybe?).
A 10+ would mean you can easily get to the cage and it does not take you very long.
A 12+ would be like the 10+, but with some extra that we can define once you get there, or if you have something reasonable you want to add to the scene.

If Sneaking to the camp:
A 6- would see you spotted or captured (depends on how you describe your approach and how close you want to get).
On a 7-9 you would spot any sentry before they spot you. You can then decide if you want to back away and try another approach or risk dealing with them to get closer.
On a 10+ you can get there, dealing with or avoiding sentries as you choose.
And on a 12+ you are ideally positioned to affect change or see what is going on.

Do you see Norbert's Survival Skill being a factor here? That can soften the above 6- on the camp options (the cage 6- is already pretty soft, but you could choose to get there with a cost).

If you choose to rejoin the others, no roll needed.

Airshark says:
(OOC in RP)... it probably won't change anything since I 'failed' the Cha roll. But you never know with a different approach.
Hmm... Since you changed from being nice to threatening her, that is different situation and you can roll again with different outcomes (a 6- on the previous would not have allowed that).

In this case I think:
A 6- would make her scared and angry enough to do something stupid. (Or would you prefer her to not take you seriously but remember you were mean in the future?)
On a 7-9 she will be scared enough by your threat to not cause problems, but you will have to push her harder to get useful information.
On a 10+ she will come clean and answer (some of) your questions.
On a 12+ she will actually decide to help you.

How does that sound?

Roald's intention was not to sound threatening but sad and realistic. As if he is sorry it has come to this and rather have it differently. But if she sees it as a threat I'll roll with that.

Doing something stupid (scream) might alert the camp but that's a risk we took trying to befriend her.

Telling a naked woman who has just been attacked by a group of men that they will 'take her a few days away and leave her without any clothes' is something she will interpret as a threat.

If you want to revise what you said, we can do that.
Airshark says:

Yep. When you roll the dice you always risk the 6-s. :)

No no. What's done is done.

Should I wait for Palemantle to do something?

I thought it was a pretty good intimidation attempt :D

Up to you. What's done is done and she will react. Olden's actions/reactions may adjust her reaction a bit. A good-cop-bad-cop routine could see him rolling instead?

That's how I interpreted it too. I did not think Roald would actually do it. :)
Jul 16, 2023 10:44 pm
I'm gonna give olden the time to do something if he wants to.

It was an intimidation in disguise. 😁

I suck. I completely failed to read the ooc thread today before posting and my roll was as suckerifically sucky as it's been lately. Should've run stuff past everyone before posting but what's done is done. Airshark, feel free to try more of that intimidation stuff unless the woman really puts paid to anything of that sort :)

Oh, don't worry about it :) We'll try work with whatever happens in the RP thread.
I've done the same in the past.

Though I do think every failed roll has a consequence. I'm sure vagueGM will let you know about that.

I'm not sure the 'survival' skill will help very much. Maybe to spot traps and the like. Norbert will get as close to the camp as possible and be racefull about it, knowing there might be other women around. He does not really expect a sentry, since the women seem to think there are no others in the woods. But he wil be carefull non the less.
