You approach the family, flash your badge a little too quickly, and explain yourself to the family. The father stops grilling to come over and see what is going on. When his wife explains what happened, the husband says, "Sir, you can't go pretending to be part of law enforcement. If you don't leave the park, I will have to call the cops."

This is the natural consequence for the failed roll. You don't make more rolls at this point unless you are doing something brand new. You have to decide if you want to let them see your badge fully and risk them finding out about the PESD or if you want to leave and hide t satisfy them, or if you refuse to leave and have 10ish minutes to stay until police arrive

Thanks for explaining that."I am a member of a special task force of the FBI that deals in disappearances like this one. I am advising you, for your and your family's safety, that you move to a different park just for right now." He then closes his badge up and puts it back in his pocket. He eyes the man to see what he will do next.

The man takes a solid look at the badge and seems to note some stuff about it. He then turns to his family and say, "We are going to finish thus elsewhere." they pack up ajf leave, but you get thr feeling thr father haf questions he may investigate later.

Ajay was looking at the webbed shape of a desicated deer corpse when Seth and Margaret went to deal with the stubborn family. His expression had fear mixed with awe and excitement. Reaching his pocket, he took out another cigarette and lit it up, taking a long drag. This was clearly a big monster. A big Arachnid? Or a mega-arthropod? Something that can release fluids to spin webs? And it's hunting big animals like deer? This is bad news! He needed to examine the corpse, and the best way would be to dissect it in the laboratory. If it is indeed an abnormal variant of Arthropod, it can mean many things. They can inject eggs into their prey or even paralyse the victim with potent neurotoxins.
He went back and called, "Seth, Maggie, come over here; you need to see this." He beckoned at both of them and pointed to the webbed deer corpse. "See that? its our monster's prey. My guess is that our monster is a big arachnid. At least that's what I can glean from this site. I need you to make a call and get that corpse down. We need to look into it back in our labs. In the meantime, let's visit another scene to cross-check and get more information about our monster."

Maggie hears the father imagining the badge as best he can and thinking about researching it. Normally a miss would mean he would have not left, but I changed it to "he is willing to leave but highly suspicious and may become a thorn in the future"OOC:

"Father's going to look up PESD. Might need to deal with him.
Meg heads over to check what Ajay is talking about. She stops and looks around hearing something big around.

You see a shape in the trees. Maggie spots a thin strand of a white substance shoot at Seth. In the amount of time before it hits Seth, Maggie is the only one who sees it in time to do something. What does Margaret do?

Could I Hex Seth or the Monster to make the "Web" stuff miss? Cause a Tree branch to move just right to intercept the web or cause Seth to "Stumble" on something so it misses.[ +- ] Jinx
You can encourage coincidences to occur, the way you want. When you jinx a target, roll +Weird.
On a 10+ hold 2 and on a 7-9 hold 1.
On a miss, the Keeper holds 2 over you to be used in the same way.
Spend your hold to:
• Interfere with a hunter, giving them -1 forward.
• Help a hunter, giving them +1 forward, by interfering with their enemy.
• Interfere with what a monster, minion, or bystander is trying to do.
• Inflict 1-harm on the target due to an accident.
• The target finds something you left for them.
• The target loses something that you will soon find

Sure, you can use one of your holds to cause the monster to miss, but the monster won't be harmed or such in the process. Please describe what it looks like when you Jinx. Do your eyes glow? Your hair float? anything like thatOne note: because you rolled 11, you get 2 holds, so you can do 1 other thing on that list (even the same thing again) later before needing to roll jinx again

you get one question from the read a bad situation list. As the game is very consistent about results, so if you know you get a 7-9 or 10+, go ahead and say which question you are asking specifically Dec 21, 2023 2:14 pm
OOC:
you can if you want. You don't have to. The original roll was because the monster was trying to ambush the party. Now, any roll of read a bad situation is an attempt to get a +1 on a future roll (as acting in the information gives you +1 ongoing if the information is relevant) at the risk of a failure which would cause you to completely misread what is happening and likely give the monster a free attackTLDR: yes if you want. You can do something else if you would prefer

Ajay noticed that Seth and Margaret were both taking time to come to him, so he went back looking for them. As he crossed the place where the civilian families were doing their picnic, he watched Meg standing and listening to something. At that moment, he heard the skittering sound above, which caused him to look up and survey the area. It was not a good sign; something was there.
OOC: Rolling for read a bad situation. With the monster on prowl, I am guessing Seth will choose something else, I am going to choose 'What's my best way out?' question.

Ajay notices that the monster seems to like to be high up and in trees. As such, the best course of action to get away would be back where the families were, as it was an open area with nothing overhead.
Ajay has +1 ongoing (meaning +1 to all rolls) if the roll has anything to do with getting away from the monster during this scene
