Who let the frogs out? (OOC)

Oct 8, 2025 4:24 pm
Out of character chatter about Who let the frogs out? can go here to avoid cluttering up the Roleplay thread.
OOC:
Use the OOC tag in your posts in the Roleplay thread, as needed, to clarify what is happening or suggest Moves.
This is for longer questions and answers related to that Roleplay. Basically: if it needs a back-and-forth, put it here.
General rules questions not answered in the Help! or Resources threads can go in General Chat or here if they are directly related to the RP.

Add a link back to the post in question so we can have context. After posting you can right-click on the orange header and select 'copy link address' (or whatever your browser calls it), then paste that in your OOC post.

Depending on what Max is doing [ref], the two groups [ref] may be in the same area this morning.
Oct 8, 2025 5:00 pm
It would be simpler to assume that they are. It's close enough, plus on Max's turf, so it wouldn't feel contrived if they happen on each other. Else, the conversation might eventually lead to Emma calling Max. She did suggest they would meet up for coffee today...

Works for me. And Persephone does not really know what's going on here, so she will have to follow Emma's and Benji's leads. All she knows is that the Lanesborough is related to the rich jerks that sacrificed her.

VagueGM Can Max use her Bloodhound move here to try to track down the killer?

EDIT: Or failing that, maybe one of the hikers?

The group (Emma?) can decide as much specifics as we want of exactly where in that stretch of road Elliot's vanishing happened. Maybe it should not link too strongly to The Lanesborough, though, unless we want to include them in all things. That hotel just happened to be the fallback location for the Cult's retreat.

Like, two day later? And not knowing who they are? I would not think so.

I think you kind of need to already know who they are and where to start, it brings you to a specific person, it does not answer investigative questions.

First, Don't Edit, rather just post another post with the follow up.
Morphling says:

By 'hikers' you mean the 'joggers'? Possibly, though I am not sure about that Move for this, since they were also here two days ago, and are not exactly hiding. You may be able to use your werewolf senses or just investigative powers to pick them out of the crowd again this morning (they may be showing signs of revulsion to the scene as they jog past?)

But, remember, they are bystanders who happened upon the body, we may have to stretch credulity to have them be able to lead you further in your investigation.

(in RP) ... hunches low to try to get a better scent on what's transpired. She tries to sniff out the victim, the hikers who discovered the body, and most importantly, the murderer. She knows her own scent well enough. ...
That sounds like Let it Out [ref] to • enhance your lupine senses to supernatural levels, don't you think? This may lead to leads that could eventually allow you to trigger Bloodhound, but who knows.

Then let it out I shall! I will add a roll to my post and inform the results here.

Got an 8 on let it out!

OK, so you are definitely marking Corruption, show us in the proceeding narrative how that Corruption looks, it is more than just mechanical, but it is also the start, so it need not be all that significant.

With an 8 'the effect is costly, limited, or unstable'.

Do you have a preference for which one it is? And How?

I am not sure about a 'cost' though you can propose something if you want.
'Unstable' might see it 'drawing the attention of the supernatural' as your wolfing tends to do.
'Limited' seems the most logical as you can only glean so much from the scene after leaving it this long. (You could probably have learned a lot more if you had risked it last night.)

Risked what, soloing a dozen bobbies? XD. I agree that limited seems very logical, so let's go with that.
Oct 8, 2025 7:36 pm
And I rolled a '14' and my own let it out. I will take a corruption (and a corruption advance) to remove any complications.

'Soloing', avoiding, circumventing, ... who knows. But leaving it till tomorrow not only takes out some of the risk, it takes out most of the evidence, too. That's just the way it goes. :)

If you planned to keen rolling boxcars, increasing Spirit from a 1 to a 2 is such a waste. :)

Cool, let us know when you know what you want to take.

I'm sure the dice gods would eventually smite me for these recent '12's. Just a matter of time :)

I'm thinking about the 'if you can't beat them' move, to steal some let it out ability from another playbook. Is the 'Witch' playbook considered to be part of our game?

Edit: typo

I am in awe of @Delirium ‘s luck with the dice roller. You get the exact opposite kind of rolls that I get. To which dark god are you making sacrifices? I must have chosen the wrong one…

They are obviously stealing yours. Q.E.D.
Oct 8, 2025 7:57 pm
The correct course of action is of course to be a dice god atheist and spit in the face of those false deities. *rolls another 2*

... maybe.
Oct 8, 2025 7:57 pm
It must all balance out, @drgwen.

I get the good rolls, you get the crappy ones. :)
Balanced!

Not sure. Probably?

Which Ability were you thinking of taking? How would you explain Emma having/getting it?
