What the hell...they are meant to be used:
Bennie Persuasion: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Bennie Wildcard: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
What I meant was: They are meant to be wasted. Of course I am using the first failure...I don't want him to scream for help...
WhtKnt |
Persuasion: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
Ace: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Wildcard: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Why not? Blow a Benny.
Persuasion (benny): 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Wildcard (benny): 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
::sigh:: Never mind.::
William 'Snuffy' Smith |
Hi Boss - Like to role play this...see what you think of this idea as far as getting rid of -2 to persuasion
"Herr Meister, I understand you hesitation to let strangers into you store, especially dressed this way. I have $50 US dollars hidden in my foot locker. If you will just let in the old man and the girl, I will give you the money. Surely they don't pose any threat to you"
Spend a Benny if the GM agrees with the approach
Persuasion: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Ace: 1d6 ⇒ 2 A raise
William 'Snuffy' Smith |
Do you have the money left over from character creation?
It depends on your definition of 'scrounge'. Snuffy scrounged his Lugar pistol in France. That's the only possible expense he should have had. Of course, even if Snuffy doesn't have money it doesn't mean that Meister would know that ;-)
GM Larkin |
It is true that he would not know now, but it will have repercussions later. You initially had $300 to spend, how much did the lugar cost? Did you buy anything else?
"These are hard times" the man thinks to himself out load, "But they are also dangerous times"
The elderly man disappears into the shop to return a moment later with a shotgun.
Snuffy and Andrew can make notice rolls to identify something about the shotgun. Andrew is on -1
He unlocks the door and steps back into the shop keeping his eyes you at all times
"You can all come in. But don't try anything funny! I'll be expecting that money tomorrow"
The keeper will take up position behind the till with his weapon on the counter.
Inside the shop there are several rows of books all on clearly labeled shelves. There is a raised area labelled "Bibliothek" populated by reference books for all sorts of trades.

Snuffy should have $100 left so he can keep his promise to the shopkeeper.

"Thank you Herr Meister. You'll get your money as promised." Turning to the hobo Snuffy adds, "We got you into some place warm as promised. Now spill it, what is 'it comes back."

"Herr Meister, wieder einmal, bitte verzeihen Sie unsere Grobheit. Wir würden nie geweckt haben Sie es nicht für eine gerechte Sache."

Searching the bookshop you will easily find books on Germanic history and Legend you will find the following on Teiwaz and the hound
Tyr is represented as a man with one hand, because his right hand was bitten off by the gigantic wolf Fenrir.
At the day of Ragnarok (the apocalypse), Tyr will kill the hound Garm, the guardian of the hell, but will die from the wounds inflicted by the animal.
If you want to know more about anything ask me. I may require roles to find more information in the shop

Rolling for understanding

"So, we're somehow living out German mythology? Okayyyyy....I've seen weird stuff before but this one is new."
Christel Wexler |
"I think we have all the information we will be getting from here. We should be going." Christel says to her companions.
"Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Zeit, Herr," she says to the shopkeeper.
William 'Snuffy' Smith |
Snuffy pulls Christel aside and whispers, "We promised to get the old man into someplace warm. I'm paying that shopkeeper 50 U.S. dollars. The least he can do is let the old man warm up, maybe even give him something to eat! Besides, the old man knows something about what's going on. We should talk to him here while he's in a nice warm spot."
Snuffy steers the old man to a chair and has him sit down. "Take a load off old-timer and warm up. I'm sure that our shopkeeper friend won't mind especially seeing how the US Army drove out the Nazi's a couple of days ago."
"Ok buddy, you said 'it starts again, when we were outside. Well, we've seen some down right weird crap going on and maybe our stuff is related to yours. What can you tell us about it and starting again?"
Persuasion: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Ha! Wierd? Yes Weird! The veil thinned by misery and bloodshed! It’s thinnest where those parts are worst. But something else stir the...” The man spins his figure around in a starring motion, seemingly lost for the correct word
He’s looks like he has more to say but I’ll give you some time to react to what he said so far first
Andrew Hauser |
I did not spend one dime above Andrews base equipment, so he should have some money...although I might have missed that part during character creation...correct me if I am wrong
Andrew steps between William and the old man on one and the shops owner on the other side, calmly (and with a $50 banknote in his hand) gesturing to the latter to give us time and space.
muttering to himselfHere I am, hoping that an old weirdo can help me make sense of last nights events...
GM Larkin |
The equipment list was equipment you just get, standard issue. That's why normally you wouldn't get any money. I gave everyone an extra $300 because of the change of format of this game. You didn't have to spend it. You would still have the $300 now. Well $250
"CONSTANTINE!" The homeless Belgian shot out of his seat as he shouted the name
"He saved before... Twice saved us..." the man stops in his tracks and begins to count on his fingers, mumbling to himself.
William 'Snuffy' Smith |
"Relax my friend, " Snuffy says as he helps the old man sit back down. "So the war is making the veil thin but something or someone else is making things worse. And this has happened before and someone named Constatine helped?"
William 'Snuffy' Smith |
The disheveled man ignores the question seemingly engroced in counting on his fingers. He gets to ten, stops a moment and then shakes his head.
Both Snuffy (with Knowledge(History)) and Christel (with Knowledge(Local)) will know that there was an Roman Emperor Constantine.
Snuffy taps his foot impatiently as the man counts.
"What does this have to do with the Hound and Tiewaz?"
GM Larkin |
The old man continues to gibber to himself starting to count over again. He gives Snuffy a quick sidelong glance but ultimately ignores the comment.
Suddenly he looks around as if seeing the room for the first time then he shouts out
before launching himself out of the chair and sprinting out of the shop.
A common knowledge roll will allow you to understand him/reveal the spoiler
William 'Snuffy' Smith |
Common Knowledge: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Snuffy has no idea what the old man is blithering on about and has gotten very tired of his antics. Despite that, Snuffy moves back into the street to see if he can spot where the old crazy one has gone.

Notice: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
Aced: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
Aced: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1Wildcard: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Aced: 1d6 ⇒ 3So, all said and done, I guess that's a success with one raise.
You really need to work on your dice rolls. This is what it should look like:
Notice: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
Aced: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Aced: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Total = 7
Wildcard: 1d6 -2 ⇒ 6 - 2 = 4
Aced: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Total = 7
It's just a success. I'll post what you see after Andrew's rolls
GM Larkin |
@Christel - I just noticed your last skill roll was a d6 rather than a d4 too! I'll keep the 1 you rolled!
So everyone passed but no raises
The sun is raising to shed a little light on the town of Kelmis. The sounds of wakefulness are in the air as people start their daily routines and birds begin to sing in the trees. From where the homeless man has curled back up you can clearly see the front of the Cathedral that is being used as a hospital.
On the ground the Belgian rummages in his pockets with his eyes on the ground.
