How Dice Rolls Work
  • Informational
    • Character sheet is here.

    Dice rolls are 1d10 + Stat + Proficiency + any applicable bonuses, such as Boons.

    You may spend 3 Tension to Overdrive for a retroactive +5 to your roll (a Determination Overdrive), or +3 to an ally's roll (a Teamwork Overdrive). I will also automatically overdrive to avoid exhaustion or unconsciousness.

    It is possible to critically succeed (on +5 on skill checks and +10 on combat rolls) or critically fail (by the same margins), but rolling a 1 or a 10 does not automatically crit in either case. It is possible to crit retroactively by Overdriving.

    Your stat bonuses have names:
    • Vigor grants a Strength bonus.
    • Agility grants a Dexterity bonus.
    • Spirit grants an Aura bonus.
    • Mind grants an Intuition bonus.
    • Resolve grants a Guts bonus.
    Dice are rolled on a first come, first serve bonus. You only roll for Deedee.

      [X] [Charge Chance] - we should try to withhold judgment until we have the facts, and therefore we should start by collecting as many facts as possible. We should be flexible if we come across something that seems important, but a generally bottom-up approach seems suitable for this. Start by learning about the harvest, the local terrain, and the families closest to the harvest - what exactly do they do for a living, how does the harvest's success or failure affect their income, what are their cultural and religious beliefs, who do they trust or mistrust, who do they depend on and who depends on them? Move up to learning about the families who are a couple steps removed from the harvest, answering the same questions. Finally, investigate the nobles, since you should now have enough background info to catch the half-truths and white lies that nobles tend to tell. (Bonus, maybe they'll be caught off-guard if they do have something to hide, since we'll have spent a while not directly investigating them first and they may have allowed themselves to believe they're beyond suspicion.) After all the local families have been investigated, the Drovers should have arrived, and we can investigate them as well. Hopefully by this point some patterns will have emerged, and we will have a better idea of who has motive and means to ruin the harvest - if anyone. The truth may not be what we expect and it would be irresponsible to ignore possibilities like (1) the adventurers are being hired by someone from another town (2) the adventurers are acting on their own initiative to benefit themselves somehow (3) there are no adventurers, the monsters are acting on their own initiative; perhaps something drove them to migrate, or a map glitch gave them access to the area (4) the adventurers are being framed for someone else's actions (5) someone in town is being framed for hiring adventurers by their real employer.
      [X] [Charge Chance] Molinaro is clearly a mole.
      [X] [Charge Chance] Pray to Flamma and offer cat biscuits in exchange for explaining all the answers to us. It works on other alcoholic cat-witches.
      [X] [Charge Chance] - We're still trying to establish motive. For now, pull at the threads of "origins of the public perception of Jatu's piety" and "why is shepherd an insult that someone would use for Tayeb". Try to get multiple sides of the story that Iustina told us. In fact, try to get multiple sides per family; if there's a lone wolf culprit, they might not tell us the same story that their kin would. When inspecting the fields, find out whose were actually damaged, and more importantly when; Guy Fox knew we were coming, so it's possible the attacks were staggered such that we'd arrive in time to stop the ones that would actually harm the perpetrator.

    • Our investigation will first seek intel on the House Quinyone, followed by the Cabellos and Kosmas families.

    We will be talking to Siobhan and Hikaru as soon as possible.

    We had some great Charge Chance entries. @Qoheleth asks some interesting questions that need consideration, but sadly I need to disqualify them because they're operating from an incorrect premise that I'll correct as soon as possible; so the seriouspost goes to @RiparianCryptid for a really fantastic entry into the quest and asking us to rule out other possibilities about the mysterious Adventurer involvement, granting 1 Tension to Deedee for the next social scene.

    As for the shitposts, we have a couple of great ones. The chance that @Nerdorama's suggestion will work, while far from Certain, is not zero - but since this was based on outside knowledge of the accursed aus and blasphemous nipah's I get up to offsite, I need to give it to @Winged One for pretending not knowing the difference between a miller and a mole.

    However, if I get illustrations of either of these shitposts I'll award more tension for it.


    I will need some dice rolls.

    Aura 9 + Rapport 1 +d10 10 = 20 (vs Quinyone Resolve 8 + Insular Asset 3 +d10 3 = 14) Success!
    Aura 9 + Rapport 1 + SYLPHAN BOON 3 + d10 10 = 23 (vs Cabello Resolve 8 +d10 5 = 13) CRITICAL SUCCESS!!
    Aura + Rapport vs Kosmas Resolve AUTOMATIC SUCCESS: Introduced by Tayeb as the one who saved Shadi

    Apply the Sylphanite Asset to one of these rolls before rolling.

    Int 5 + Untrained Empathy +d10 4 (vs Quinyone Int 5 + Deception ? +d10 2 = 7 or 8) SUCCESS!
    Int 5 + Untrained Empathy +d10 4 (vs Cabello Int 5 + Deception ? +d10 1 = 6 or 7) SUCCESS!
    Int 5 + Untrained Empathy + Flammite Boon 3 + d10 8 = 16 (vs Kosmas Int 8 + Deception ? +d10 3 = 11 or 12) SUCCESS!

    Including that Deception is the skill used to resist this does not imply that any of these parties have and use it; the Deception bonus can be 0.
    Apply the Flammite Asset to one of these rolls before rolling.

    Aura 9 + Lorewise 1 +d10 8 (vs ??? ??? +d10 = 13) SUCCESS!
    Int 7 +d10 8 for Sekhmet's Size Up perk (vs ??? ??? +d10 = 15) SUCCESS!

    Int 5+ Lorewise 1 +1d10 9 (vs TN 12 to grant Siobhan an Asset for her Int+Lorewise roll on your behalf) SUCCESS!
    Int 5 + Wikiwalk 0 +1d10 7 (vs TN 12 to grant Hikaru an Asset for his Int + Wikiwalk + Gnomic Asset roll on your behalf) SUCCESS!
    Int 5 + Empathy 0 + Flammite 3 +1d10 9 = 17 (vs ???, TN 10) SUCCESS!

    You can roll for more than one of these, but only one per category, and tell me which.

    • So this means that the Least Boon of Sylphan applies to the Cabello roll by process of elimination, right?

    Anyway, I'm gonna take the "Int + Empathy + Flammite for ???" roll at the bottom of the list.

    I think that the Boons are intended for the categories below where they're listed, if as far as I understand it Sylphan applies to Empathy and Flamma applies to Insight.

    That would match the (ambiguous) formatting but it wouldn't match how we've used our Boon bonuses up to now. Generally speaking Sylphan has always graced our Rapport roles, and Flamma our Empathy ones...

    It has always been the opposite.

    Sylphan, the god of wind, freedom, and tricksters gives off a ditzy, charming first impression and so boosts Rapport.
    Flamma, the god of fire, passion and intoxicating truth lets you see what fires burn in people, and so boosts sensing motives with Empathy.

    Also, keep in mind you only get the benefit once per sequence so need to figure out where you most want the bonuses before rolling. This is unlike Overdriving with tension, on purpose; Overdrives are allowed to be retroactive but nothing else is.

    It's your roll, followed by what it's rolling against. In many cases, you're rolling against active opposition that also rolls a die.

    So am I understanding results so far correctly as

    Daecl: vs Quinyone
    10 + Aura 8 + Rapport 1 (+d10) = 19 + another roll
    Qoheleth: ???
    9 + Int 4 + Empathy 0? + Flammite ? = ...13?

    Okay I'm a little bad at the character sheet sorry.

    Daecl: vs Quinyone
    10 + Aura 8 + Rapport 1 (+d10) = 19 is correct. The Quinyone's will roll to resist being charmed by this asshole outsider foxgirl with a roll of their Guts (which you don't know), + 3 for being insular, +1d10.

    It appears to me that @Qoheleth was rolling a mystery Empathy roll to sense motives I put at the bottom of the section about getting info from your friends! Huh! Weird! It's probably nothing to worry about.

    Aww, I thought the +d10 was for us. Okay, I'm still pretty confused but I'm going to try to roll vs Cabello resolve, applying Sylphan asset by process of elimination like Qoheleth said.

    I got a 10! That makes another 19 + asset, right?

    I mean, I will let you keep the critical success from 9+1+3+10.

    also motherfucker I forgot to update the sheet here to Level 5. It's fixed. Strength and Aura should be 9, Intuition should be 5.

    Wait, accursed aus or accursed AUs?

    Anyway I'll edit in a roll once I've figured out what hasn't been rolled yet...

    Int + Empathy +d10 (vs Quinyone Int + Deception +d10) No Asset, I'm feeling lucky

    I was not lucky, but it could be worse. Result: 9 vs. [Opposed]

    I'm very confused on whether or not I was supposed to roll. I was hesitating because I realized after I roll that there was no +d10 on that roll in the list, so I thought maybe it was supposed to be straight attributes - did I make a mistake in rolling or no?

    I forgot to put the +1d10 at the end, you're fine. I also edited that post to include the +1d10 at the end of clauses that lacked them, and to put what you're rolling against in (italicized, bracketed text) like so.
     
    Any opinions on which Empathy roll should get Boonbux? I could go with any of them, honestly. Even if the Kosmas roll seems less impactful b/c "why would a relative of Tayeb and Shadi's be deceiving us", that's also sort of an argument to make extra sure about it.

    Agreed, I'm not sure we have the info to know which would be better. We hope Tayeb's family will be honest with us, but if they have something to hide they wouldn't tell us just because we made a good impression. Actually, writing that has made me lean towards Kostas.

    So player rolls so far:

    On first impressions:
    20 vs Quinyones (9+1+10) Daecl
    23 vs Cabello (9+1+10+3) RiparianCryptid

    On empathy:
    9 vs Quinyones (5+0+4) Nerdorama
    9 vs Cabellos (5+0+4) bii
    16 vs Kostas (5+0+8+3) Qoheleth

    Other rolls:
    18 Lorewise (9+1+8) Winged One
    13 Size Up (5+8) Talia B
    15 Siobhan asset (5+1+9) RiparianCryptid
    12 Hikaru asset (5+0+7) R2Walker

    17 (5+0+3+9) Qoheleth

    Okay, so flammite +3, I will fix that - and it looks like I got empathy wrong if it's 0? I saw an empathy score of 7 on the chapter summary post, where is the correct place to look?

    All dice rolls are (Stat) + (Skill) + (Any Applicable Assets) + 1d10. For Empathy, that's 5 Int, untrained, +3 when applying the Boon, + 1d10. The character sheet is (now, sorry about that) correct.
