OOC

Blue hiding, full with terror
"I... see... dead... peopleee..."
But, the one walking behind the window in the middle of the night was the laundry guy, it was bed-sheets 3x2 discount day.

Is it night right now, in-game?

Of course, any good ghost story takes place at night. You weren't the last performer, so let's say that it's around 8pm.

Roleplay it out, let's see what happens.

I've no good answer. The best way I've heard to handle it is to guess how many scenes you might experience in a single live session, and use that. Maybe that's four to six scenes, I don't know. "Scenes" are certainly something that we could count and exist somewhat unchanged between live and forum play.

Whoever has the Lie Whisperer stunt should get ready to try catching any lies during the incoming explanation.

I'm sorry if I made things boring by requesting more exposition and delaying our encounters with spooky stuff. I just like asking questions, I guess...

How to roll Fate. Fate dice are built into the site, just select Fate from the ADD NEW ROLL drop-down, click ADD, type in a TRAIN and add your MODIFIER.

Should be interesting to play with.

Oh, thanks!

Edit: If I roll Notice to try to find anyone moving in this room's shadows, will that rob someone else of the opportunity of doing the same? I ask this because my Notice is +0, in contrast to my +3 Investigate

My notice is +0, and investigation is+2. I'd rather you try, unless someone has better skills

My notice is a +2

Could you go first into the room for us then, and search the shadows?

Test. Woot. Expected results. :)

Maybe someone should try to sneak closer to the sounds... my Stealth is just +1, and I guess a failed Stealth roll might spook whoever is speaking into silence... unless it would mean something worse, like getting caught by something in the dark. Someone else might also try what I did and try to make out the words from this distance, I didn't get a lucky roll but others might.

Guess I'll be exchanging my +1 Drive for +1 Notice at the earliest opportunity.

I need to take a few days off or a week. Too much stress for me.

No problem, Gene. The Russian can take a much needed smoke break.

So, I rolled a +2. With two characters who have +1 or more helping (Blue and Burt both have +2 each), that's a +4 (2+1+1). If this will get us to a Success With Style, I will be spending a Fate point, bringing us to +6

I have a +4 in craft.

Did you mean to write Aspect instead of Stunt?

I would like a list of these murders and disappearances, unless you deliberately want to leave the details vague from our side of things (even though our characters would know the info themselves).

I would like to investigate the victims' backgrounds, see if we can find any connection between them, see if there's any locals who knew them who we can interview for info, see if there's non-locals who we could interview by phone or internet... there's gotta be someone hiding something somewhere (my characters are still going by the assumption that there are mundane explanations for all the spooky stuff that's been going on thus far, although I expect there are actual ghosts in this story).

Can I exchange Drive for Notice in my sheet?

I'd prefer to leave that vague and not have the PCs leave the resort during the night. If you do decide to leave the next morning to do such investigation, then we'll continue to keep it vague and simply resolve that with a couple rolls.

Unless... you let us stab the ghost... :v

Thanks a lot Qralloq for the quick introduction to the system.
I think we created characters For a longer adventure, but we did accomplished what was expected. So, I'm happy for the opportunity, and OK with closing it here.
Feel free to have Blue do or say whatever required to close it (as long as it makes sense with his personality).
And again, thanks for running this!!
