Okay, so with Channeling, I will choose to mark a corruption for rolling 9 ...
Hmm... We need a place to mark Corruption on our sheets.

Where do we think it should go? In the Corruption section (as the PDF sheets do it) or up with the Advancement? Scrolling down to the Corruption could become a pain, so it might be better to have it up with the rest of the things we reference often and in similar situations (Advancement, Harm, Stats).

Between "Circles" and "Harm" seems a good place, if you ask me.

That is what I am thinking. I don't really want another whole section with a header, though, and it does not quite feel right to have it 'in' the Circles section. I definitely don't want to put it in the Harm section, since that implies negative connotations and Corruption is a totally valid character choice.

Hmmm... true. What abou within Stats then? It's weird, but doesn't feel as odd as in Circles or Hurt. After all, Corruption could be understood as a kind of "meta stat" as it somehow defines the character.

Maybe something like one of the three options now in the Test Sheet?

Note the upside-down check-marks in the Circles example. :)

I like the one in the stats area better

Why? Because it is in the Stats area? Or because it is 'right way up'?

Did you see the one in the Corruption area? While it is more scrolling, there is value in being consistent with the official sheets. I am pretty much 50/50 on there vs. Stats area.

(in RP) ... Maybe it’s time to ask questions before I end this last one hmm?" ... she has her chain wrapped around her and can go ahead and use it to keep the thing still and then maybe get some answers.
OOC:
Using the ‘Figure someone out’ action as tying it up and asking questions.
The roll is a bit premature, but we can work with it this time.

Read up on Triggering Moves on page 37, and Rolling Dice on page 38, and then read the Trigger for Figure Someone Out in the Notes on page 80 (and in the Moves reference thread). You first need to establish what you are doing, and that it is even possible (can these guys speak? A language any of you can understand? ...) and only then roll dice.

The roll is done, so we are committed, but your results may be limited. This is just a goon, so it does not know much and "I dunno" is a valid answer (you can only learn about the goon, and its lack of knowledge is relevant).

The questions it/I can ask you in return are similarly limited, and may get uncomfortable (there is a cost on a 7-9), but we will have to see how the conversation goes.

Describe what you do next, how you go about trying to get answers from this goon.

@oopsylon: Benji took 2 Harm as the obvious consequence of your Miss on Lend a Hand while combating heavy-hitters [ref], that is Serious and 'needs medical attention'. See Harm and Healing. This does not need immediate attention, though.

The nature of harm and how it gets worse (if untreated) depends on the fiction where that becomes relevant. This is mainly internal and probably a concussion.

As a Vamp you have options available to you outside of hospitals (feeding? magic? who knows what else:).

Healing 1 Harm would bring you back down to Faint Harm, which will heal on its own in a few days.

Looks like the demons got shattered into rocks; is there any rock remaining on the alley floor? A demonic body part can always be used in magical rituals, I guess. Can I collect some?

By all means, grab some rock litter.

Are you guys planning on leaving the rest of the mess out there?

Someone who cares can also roll 1d4 to see now many of the staves are unbroken. The still-standing demon still has its weapon, which is why the 1d4 can't go to 'none', but it may not be happy to give it up. It depends on what is done with that demon.

Whoops I will read up more tomorrow.

@gnomius: Are you going to allow Rhiannon to bring the demon inside your establishment?

Ysolde says:

No worries. It is early days and we are learning the system.

Your miss on Persuade will make it harder to get answers, but it does not invalidate the two questions you still get to ask because of your previous success. It does limit them to ones that still make sense after you see the consequences of this miss; it mainly means that Persuasion and conversation is probably not the way to those questions.

Persuade clearly Triggered with you threatening it (viable because it is obviously scared of you). And rolling the Move is also the logical way to further your Figure Someone Out, but every time we roll there is the chance of a miss and consequence that can change the landscape.

Yes, better inside than outside.

(OOC in RP) I'll grab the intact wand in the floor and bring it inside too (I'm assuming the other one is with the demon left)
Just two 'wands', the one Mark picked up and the one the 'remaining' demon still has.

For the record, as the consequence for the 4 on Persuading the demon, I am using the GM Move for Wild 'Pull Something from One Realm into Another', to have it get pulled 'home'.

@gnomius In what form do you think Jacob provides blood to Benji? Is it Jacob’s own blood or someone else’s?
