I'll go ahead and try the cards just because it is a little different.
Full succes! I 'll let you descreibe how that plays out (wihtin reason)
Will do. I've got to take our new pup to the vet in a bit, but will try and get something posted later this afternoon.
That's fine - it's almost 9 here so it'll be tomorow before I reaed what you put up, most likely :)
If you'r climing then I would suggest a group action - someone needs to lead and takes stress for eveyone who fails, but as long as *one* of you succeeds on the roll then the group succeeds.
If you have climbing gear I'll give you +1 dice for that but it takes up some of your precious gear slots - you picked a light load so you only have 3 slots each.
Casia will use one of her gear slots for light climbing gear.
Good plan! I'm assuming that as long as one of us has climbing gear, that's enough - we don't all need to carry it?
Oop. +1 stress for whoever was leading :(
Yes, that's right, you don't all need to carry it as long as soemeone has it.
Lolo takes 2 stress, which means she has now taken 5 stress total I think? But Jonah's 6 means that you all make it up without more trouble.
EDIT: yay for 300 gameplay posts! It toouk us a bit longer than I would haev liked but we are mvoing at a good pace again :)
By my calculations she was at 5 stress, so now she's at 7.
Tht seems like more than I thought you had. did you count the reduction you got during yuour downtime?
Oh, that's bad.
Yep, I didn't roll great on the reduction.
Hrmmm...can we reverse course and go over the roof after spotting the kids or do we have to go this way? I know it might be riskier to go back at this point, but Jonah would definitely be against messing with the kids.
BitD is teh *opposite* of a raileroad - you can do whatever you watn, with consequences :)
Yeah, messing with the kids is not something Lolo would choose to do either.
So I guess another group roll. I'm assuming we still get the equipment bonus. Since I'm still at full stress, I'm happy to be the lead this time.
Ugh...
Agreed with what they said ^^^
I assume we still get +1d6 from the climbing gear?
Clearly Finraeth is less distracted with Jonah leading than he was when it was Lolo; make of that what you will...
I'll gieve everyone a bit longer to post before moving tihngs along.

Casia will make note of it if no one else will. ;)
Ok, taht's a full scucess and Jonah takes 1 stress for his fail and possbly one for Lolo as and when she rolls.
You guys *cannot* catcha break here!
Right, which of you is carrying teh dagtger you're supposed to be putting here?
OK, no idea why you gave it to Lolo to hang on to but teher you go, teh dice don't lie. Taht should make this bit more intresting!
In case you ned it: a rminder of who Roric is/was
Ha, Finn!
EDIT: Ooof, OK. That is quite a turn of events.
Going to get a post up now, but work is burying me this week. I should be able to breathe again on Saturday. Lolo's intended action will be clear, so bot her if needed.
Oh, that's bad. Can we try and capture the ghost in a spirit bottle or something?
(And by "we," I mean Jonah)
Heh. That might work, if you've got the right gear, but genraly speaking it needs a rituale to trap a ghost - protective circle, time, that sort of thing. Trying to do it on the fly is going to be tough - at the very least you'd need a spirit bottle. Spirit mask and lightnig hook would help, too. All of that adds up to 3 load, adn because you took a light load that means not carrying anything else (liek a weapon).
It's not oging to be a single Action roll, either. It's probly a 4-clock at a Desperate position, so lots of things could go wrong. On the other hand, if it *works* then you potentially have something very useful indeed :)
OK, using Command to - as politely as possible - basically say "shoo! Go bother somebody else!"
Oh, thanks be to the Dead Gods.
Depending on the effect of Fin's Command, I could try and Compel it to give it another task. If possible, something like 'Place this stone beneath the third apple tree on the south side of the Imperial Governor's secret garden.' That should keep it busy for long enough for us to complete our task and get out again. But I'll wait and see what happens.

Jonah's reminded me - you didn't mention the Compel ability that he has. Would that help at all, if we wanted to trap it in a spirit bottle?
I had frogoten about the Compel ability - ok, I'll allow it, if only because trying to trap him in a bottle is jsut *cooler* tahn sending him away to plant rocks under a tree.
Okay, well here's an Attune roll. I guess I'm carrying a spirit bottle, spirit mask, and lightning hook. Let me know if that gives me a bonus die or not.
No bonus dice this time - the spirit bottle is what gieves you "permission" to try this at all, and the ligthnig hook means your position goes from Desperate to Risky. The spirit mask protects you (a bit) from the consequences.
Speaking of which - this is a bold move and it has big risks. *Everyone* takes Level 2 Harm electroplasmic shock as the ghost thrashes against the lightnhing hook before being caught in the bottle. You can resist down to level 1 Harm with Resolve.
Jonah - you take LEvel 1 Harm rather than level 2, and you cen resist down to nothing with Resolve. Thank your sprit mask :)
So no harm, no stress. Correct?
Yes, your ability to roll 6s on demand saeves you again ;) Well, taht and your spirit mask.
@everyone - you seem to be measuring stress in 2 diferent ways, either starting at 9/9 and counting down, liek hit points, or starting at 0/9 and working up, like insanity/corrption. I have trouble with reading at teh best of times so could you please have a talk among you and decide on which way you're goiing to do it? Thanks in advance :)
I've been moving up the scale. So, if I don't resist the level 2 harm I take no stress, right?
I've been moving up the scale, too: Stress is something you accumulate, not something you lose. But I'm happy to do it the other way.
1 more stress to add to the tally. Now at 5 accumulated.
@Lolo - that's right.
Could be I'm the only one doing it 'backwards'. I can switch it around easy enough.
I was counting up as well. And with Finraeth's logic, that seems like the way would should present.
With a 0 Resolve, I think Casia will just take the harm.
GM: can I flashback to getting a design layout of this house? Knowing where we're supposed to be going (the main bedroom) would be quite handy.
Thta would work. it's a general town house and the plans for taht sort of thing should be available. It's a zero stress flashback, but in order to get tehem in the timeframe you want, you need to bribe someone - you can either pay 1 coin (outright bribery) or pay 2 Reputaton (represents the Dusk Mites cashing in favours).
It's controlled, so im' going to say that the complication on your roll is that you realise the attic space is only connected to the rest of teh house by a trapdoor - no stairs.
I'm thinking Jonah sticks with Lolo to let Casia and Fin who are better at Prowling actually get the knife in place. Based on the plans the room isn't far away, so we can get there quick if it all goes bad. At least that's my initial thought.
Ok, let's see how it goes
Finaly, a roll goes your way :)
I'll post more later
Hi all, i'm srorry about the lack of updates, I'm having a busy week. I'll psot again at the weekend to get us moving, I jsut wanted to reasure you I'm still around :)
And I've just realised I haven't posted, either - I thought I had.
Not sure if Cas needs a prowl roll as well. If so ...
Glad you're still around, GM!
Yep, sorry for maeking you wait - RL kept me busy. btw, fell free to look udner the spoilers, just remember to keep player knowleged and character knowldge separate :)
@Casia - I'm not *actualy* going to make you roll to resist - that's the sort of thing WW would do. This is more of a RP thing ;)
Casia would have most likely failed a resist roll for that anyways, so ...
@Casia - I'm not *actualy* going to make you roll to resist - that's the sort of thing WW would do.
I resemble that remark!
Not sure if this attack is skirmish or prowl
I really, really hope this is a skirmish!
