... I completely failed to read the ooc thread ...
That happens. No worries.
palemantle says:
... roll was as suckerifically sucky as it's been lately ...
Dice like doing that to us. :)

Embrace it and have fun with it. Don't think of low rolls as bad things or punishments, they are supposed to be fun and possibly unexpected ways to drive the story. Don't make a roll if you are not happy with what could happen, that is why we first chat about the possible outcomes so the player always knows roughly what they are getting into and can decide to change the direction before rolling.
palemantle says:
... unless the woman really puts paid to anything of that sort ...
She will not react favourably, but mostly this has just shifted her whole range further down towards negative. The numbers above are still the same, just with more enhanced 'bad' outcomes and smaller 'good' ones.
palemantle says:
A bit harried today and tomorrow with travel. Will post in a day and change
Cool, no worries.

@Airshark: Given that Olden's description still has him removing the belt, we can assume this happened before or around the time of your possible 'intimidation'. You can go ahead and roll that, possibly with more fiction if you want to react to new events. You know that Albert and Norbert had gone off to scout the camp, but don't know what their situation is, that might affect your bargaining position, but possibly it is still too soon since chatting scenes take less time than walking scenes.

I've got a bit of time today for posts but don't think Olden needs to do any more foot-in-the-mouth stuffing at this point so it's all Roald :D. I've caught up on both this thread and the RP one.

I've got two more days of an enforced roadtrip ahead of me and my brain's a bit fried. Feel free to move things along on Olden's part as needed. I'll check in when I can the next couple of days. Should be back to regular service by Thursday.

Noted, thanks.

Airshark says:
(OOC in RP)... it probably won't change anything since I 'failed' the Cha roll. But you never know with a different approach.
Hmm... Since you changed from being nice to threatening her, that is different situation and you can roll again with different outcomes (a 6- on the previous would not have allowed that).

In this case I think:
A 6- would make her scared and angry enough to do something stupid. (Or would you prefer her to not take you seriously but remember you were mean in the future?)
On a 7-9 she will be scared enough by your threat to not cause problems, but you will have to push her harder to get useful information.
On a 10+ she will come clean and answer (some of) your questions.
On a 12+ she will actually decide to help you.

How does that sound?
SOUNDS MIGHTY GOOD TO ME!!?

Looks like you're a natural at scaring women in the woods, Airshark :P
Jul 19, 2023 1:40 pm
*Naked women.

Olden's could sorely use a stint in the Roald school of "Charming or scaring nekkid women in the woods"

Trying to catch up. Olden, if he thinks he can assist the wonderful job Roald is doing at all, would be inclined to point out the guilt that'll still attach to the woman if she goes back vs any goodwill that might come her way if she assists in a rescue. That OK Airshark?

But maybe he should not say that out loud? His dead wife may be watching over him. :)

OOC:

"Oh, come now woman," says Olden placatingly, palms out. "I'm just helping a poor soul wandering through the woods. She isn't all that ... err naked anymore."

Sorry for my abscence, there was no internet around Hadrians' wall. It was beautifull and our first day without rain :)

I'm back in more civil parts around York for the nex couple of days. (the rain is back)

I don't believe that. I heard it was supposed to be so technologically impressive!(*) :)

(*) 2000 years ago...
Jul 21, 2023 7:40 pm
They're still working on Hadrians' Wifi then?
Jul 22, 2023 6:36 pm
The wall was impressive but the campsites we stayed on were a meadow and a steep meadow, don't let your wife chouse the campsite :)

... when you have to put stilts on one side if your tent... :)

(OOC in RP) ...I think we can assume all of the info about the witches and cages is also shared with the rest of the group.
Shall we assume these latest conversations were done after everyone got back to the group?
Jul 22, 2023 8:05 pm
Yeah that sounds good.
Jul 23, 2023 3:04 pm
My brain's pretty fried so could you tell me if the above sounds about right?
- Theo is in a cage without an obvious sentry but the area around the cage offers no cover
- Daryl came back early and is with the group now
- There's 11 women dancing around an improvised table
- Phil is missing as is the girl. No obvious clues about their whereabouts yet

palemantle says:
- Daryl came back early and is with the group now
We can say that Norbert and Albert are also back with the group now, and that we're sharing information.
I think the rest is correct.
