Are we waiting for anything from me? The characters are talking and I don't want to interrupt that, but it has gone silent mid-conversation. (I know it is weekend, so no stress.)

Let me know when we want to 'move on'.

I think we will go with the Corruption Advancement track near the Circles Advancement track.

Let me know when I can safely add that to your sheets (we don't my edits to overwrite anything you are doing).
If you want to make the edit yourself, you need to change the line:

[/table][/abilities][abilities="Circles"][table=rolls compact hl]

to

[/table][/abilities][abilities="Circles"]
[f=bold color:red background-color:transparent writing-mode:tb float-right]Corruption:
[f=accent-color:white filter:invert(85%)][_=0/5][/f][/f][table=rolls compact hl]


(Yes, the 'table=rolls' needs to be on the same line, else it adds a big blank space above the table.):

Mark done.

You can update mine too, or I will do it tomorrow when I get my hands on a computer, don't want to try from mobile!

In my case, I was waiting for the result of Benji's last Move "Put a face to a name" to see how we move forward with this Chaudry.

Yeah, confusions like that are why I asked. :)

On an 8 Benji only knows what most people know, so nothing new there and just the same as Rhiannon's 7. I indicated that everyone who wanted to roll should roll (after hearing the name), we can pool what we all know after everyone rolls.

Does Jacob not know them? No roll for you?

No, not really, I was thinking this time it would be more interesting if Jacob doesn't know a thing about them (as it seems he's the main target of whatever Chaudry is planning)

You’re welcome to update mine too whenever you get a chance! :)

I thought that might be the case. It makes sense that they would have tried to avoid your notice.

That is the assumption... but then, you know that they say... :)

Updated my sheet with Corruption track, BTW!

New Debts

Benji definitely did Jacob a favour by both alerting him to the danger and coming to his aid [ref]. It definitely seems that Jecob owes Benji a Debt for this action.

Mark and Rhiannon were tracking the demons for their own reasons (even if Mark does not yet know why). They just happened to be at Jacob's place when the action started.

Mark had no real reason to get involved in the fight, but I am not sure if Debts are involved, nor to whom. What do we think?

Jacob did call for help from Rhiannon, and she was instrumental in dispatching the threat outside. But she has not checked her messages yet and does not yet know that she was asked to help. When Rhiannon sees the message, will she claim to have been there to help Jacob and claim a Debt? If Jacob later finds out that she was already there for her own reasons and lied, it could swing the ledger the other way.
Update the Debt Ledger with any new Debts you agree on. Update both parties.

@Stalker05: Don't forget to add your own entry in the Debt Ledger

Jacob will gladly accept he owes one to Benji, I'll add it to my ledger.

As for Rhiannon, my understanding of our relationship is that we are partners: I provide her with material/support, and she protects me in exchange. So not sure if it makes sense to track all Debts with her, as we probably owe each other hundreds of them.

Hehehe, this was hilarious! :-) I was also thinking... "What? A crocodile?" ¬¬'

Noted it down in my ledger as well! :)

Any mutual arrangement does not incur Debts, they are only for when one person does something that benefits another for no recompense. Your business dealings are probably mutual, but you can still have Debts build up between the two of you when one does something purely to the others benefit (like Helping with a Move, or coming to their rescue).

We can see when that happens and deal with it then.

Nice, safe water... or wait, if not even the crocs are brave enough to swim there! Wow! :)

I guess Mark really came to Jacob for his own portent's reading but he did help even the odds of winning the combat with such a big hit squad. But, then again, he acted anonymously. We roleplayed it in such a way that almost nobody knew why did the demons froze. So, I don't know if a debt can be owned.

... Or to whom, since Mark sorta helped the ones outside more than he helped Jacob. He had his own reason for tackling the demons, so he was not acting purely to help the others, I think. We can always revisit these details, doing so is part of the End of Session Move, though that mechanic is more applicable to non-PbP games.

Debts have always been a struggle for players to get their heads around. They do become more important later when they become one of the primary driving forces for Advancement, in the early-game Put a Face to a Name is often the main way to level, but once the characters know the main players in the city that tapers off and Debts between PCs takes over (especially useful in a game where all four Circles are represented by PCs).
