What Comes Next (OOC)

Go ahead and narrate it and describe the new cloak or, less interesting, whether she returns your old one... If she does not return your old cloak, maybe you have an idea about why not? If you need me to come up with something, I am happy to do so.

I gave him all that was left. Something like 10 silver for a basic sword.

10 Silver is exactly what you need for a 'Short Sword'. Let's see what Albert's blacksmith can do for us.

Don't forget to remove the Silver from your sheet.

Gonna try and work all this out this evening 🙂

Hilarious 😂

Very sorry for the delay again. 😖 Will post soon (I hope today)

@Airshark: Do you want to have more happen with the Lady-Kiss? Either now, while we wait, or later?

No. Not at the moment.
Roald will just wait for Albert to return.
Edit: and Daryl

Whahahaahahahaahahaaaa

Hey! Spoilers! :)

I can't think of anything right now. But you are welcome to find something of value. Maybe Albert's new perspective on life means something he previously thought worthless is now something he thinks will be useful? Maybe something was buried and is now exposed —though why the scavengers or kids did not take it is anyone's guess:). Or maybe he just did not have time to search properly before running off after the bandits?

Maybe you can find something that will be directly useful in your quest for travel arrangements? We can revisit this in a flashback and show how what you found pays off as we play that out.
I am sure we can find her, or her coach-driving husband. Do you have somewhere to stay tonight? Would she put you up? We can play it out if you like.

I'll have a think about that :)
I like that idea.

Not unless you want to play it out now. Which is fine, but any roll will be based on the actions you are taking, so we would need more description.

If we want to flashback to this when we find that something here proves to be useful in your dealings with caravan masters, or, though less likely, with Tina, or whatever comes next, then we can flesh out what happened here in as much detail as we need, and maybe roll for the effectiveness of what you find/found, that way we don't roll or spend too much time on it if it will not 'matter'.
We can play this out as much or as little as you like. If you want to just ask around and find her, and have her and her husband be happy to try help, that is fine. If you want there to be possible complications (maybe, on a Partial Success, you find her but she can't help right now, or she needs you to do something for her first, you know: standard PbtA fair:) then we can make a roll after we see a bit of the fiction of how you go about reconnecting with her.

You can also tell me, OOC, how much this subplot features, and how much I should make you do. It can be a big deal and, possibly, the main action your group takes to take the next step, or it can be a 'nothing-berger', or something in-between. Your call.

That would be cool. Then we can tailor it to what we might need at the time :)
I wouldn't play out the asking around. But this could be a CHA-roll. If we fail we'll need to find another way?
Then the conversation with Tina's husband, I'd like to play out.

Does that work?

We don't need to play out the conversations, but you do need to establish in the fiction what you are doing, so narrate your characters asking around, make the CHA roll and we can resolve it as suggested above.
Maybe. Though, if you fail you might not get a chance, something unforeseen might happen, but we will see how things go.
Agreed.

Not necessary, you showed us what happened in the fiction, we can react to that.
Since you didn't end up rolling a miss —and Skills only affect misses— we can ignore this question from 'mechanical point of view.
I did notice that 'intent' in the fiction you posted, and immediately thought about bringing that in as a consequence on the Partial Success. But since you expressed a possible desire to avoid such an outcome —due to your Skill— we can go another route, Albert is good at being circumspect.

---

I am inclined towards saying you find her, but there is a problem with finding her husband? This way we both have a classic 'they need something from you' and keep it focused on your immediate objective of talking to him.

Maybe she needs help finding where he has vanished to? (We can scale the scope the problem based on player interest. ('Reasons' could turn out to be one of the below examples.))
Maybe he left her and she wants you to convince him to come back? (Making his helping you not be contingent on your succeeding in her quest.)

If you guys have ideas, you can go ahead and narrate such an outcome and show us what she asks of you. Feel free to use any of the ideas above (I really thought my list would be longer:) or anything else. If you don't have ideas, I will probably go the above route.

Or he left with the coach transporting clients but has not returned. Maybe the coach broke down/robbers.
He might be held hostage until he discloses the location of the secret compartment of the coach. (Far fetched...)
His client didn't pay and he doesn't want to leave the location untill they do.

Happy holidays!

Indeed. I hear that's a thing. :)

I will wait another day or so for input, else then enact the above 'plan'.

Happy holidays! :)
I would turn it around. She kicked him out and could say something like "If you need him he's probably drinking at the inn again". But he doesn't want to help us until we convince the wife to take him back. The other way makes less sense to me.

Airshark's idea works for me too. I don't have a specific preference, really.
