The Shadow Carnevale (OOC)

The roll at the end of my last post was to determine whether or not Ezme accidentally stepped into the house during her doorway maneuver.

In my mind, it wasn't Ezme's physical actions that were critical to the story so much as the words she used, so that's why I didn't roll first to see how the maneuver went.

But anyway, that's all I had for my idea. You folks can take it from here!

Do you want to react to Lille's words [ref]?
Well, you do like creating problems for yourself. Delightful! :)

Well done. Go ahead and narrate successfully getting though, and what you find on the other side.

I imagined that Ezme heard Lille's words, but only in a subconscious way during her dream within a dream. (I was thinking that Lille's voice was actually the voice in the back of Ezme's head telling her that the dude wasn't real.)

Is Ezme's consciousness now back in the tent with Lille and Roald?

Oh yes, yes I dooooo. 😁

Can be. That was sorta my question about if you want to use Lille to draw your mind back here. I don't see anything interesting about your being in a different scene anymore, do you?

You are still wispy and out-of-phase with your companions, so touching is tricky.

Gotcha. I agree. I'll rejoin the group with my next post. In the real world, I'd better re-attempt sleep now, though. lol.

Thanks! I've done so. I can go ahead and continue on to Albeart's next action, but wanted to give you a chance to interject with any info you'd like to add :)
If not, let me know.

Okay, I'm guessing the anticipation has been built up enough at this point. You all ready for a boss confrontation of some sort??

Should we do some sort of swift montage to get us back to Albert's side? ... Other ideas??

Lille doesn’t have anything new or interesting to add before we get going. The main question is whether there will be any resistance or interference from the crowd. If not, I’m happy for someone to just montage us over to Albeart and whatever final confrontation is coming.

I think we may want a roll to hide?Oor we can just assume a large bear can not hide in a tent and give you something to do while the others make their way past the barrier-crowd [ref]?

No need to roll, I think. A bear will be easy to spot.

I‘m happy to have Roald or Ezme contribute to this effort. Either of you should feel free to make a CHA roll with whatever you think will convince them that we’re sufficiently awesome to escape this place. I’ll chime in as needed.

It was really Lille's words and idea, so it should kinda be her that makes the roll, unless someone else takes over and contributes significantly more.

The others can contribute in the fiction, this does not change the dice roll, but does change what each of the outcomes mean.

"We might need a persuasive roll" is very different from that. Also it wasn’t clear from your initial wording that she needed to be the one adding more, as opposed to a group effort. I will post with a roll in a bit.

Yeah, sorry about that. It was unclear. Someone else could have taken over, but so far it was Lille's idea and action we were judging.
We would kinda like to see that convincing argument. PbtA is Fiction First, and then we see if the dice bear out your words and what affect they have.

Ezme's Partial Success [ref] may allow you to try again from with a new approach [ref].
While the numbers might be the same, what Attribute you are rolling with still matters since it changes what the results mean and how people react. We can assume CHA here, I think.

lol. Yeah, normally I would be more specific, but since I don’t know what the Memory was about, I didn’t know what to pick! I figured I’d keep moving the story forward and we’d have this discussion after if necessary.

We will never know. :)

Aww! I was looking forward to having you tell me! :)

My first thought, since this is a coach, is something to do with a simulacrum of Humphrey. What do we think? We have seen his image here before.

Well, I wasn't sure whether or not the cords lead to the coach or beyond. That's why I thought you might want to define this. I'm happy to do it instead :)

Should this be the final stop?
