    We're ridiculously wealthy by local standards. Let's just pay them.

    Bad luck would suggest that they're going to ask for something other than money. Might not even need to be severe bad luck, given that this place's finances are probably just as dysfunctional as the rest of it.

    That said, I don't think we lose much by trying to play nice first. If anything, it'd probably sooth our conscience to wait until they fail to accept a price we're willing to pay. Give them some rope and see if they hang themselves, as it were.

    Okay, so, we have Charm, which is 4, and then... would verbal sparring count? If so, that's +5 total.

    So either 0 or 1 Stress spent. One stress if we want to be sure of a full success... and I think we might, considering that a 'half success' might have them asking for, like, something absurd or terrible.

    I'm against spending stress here, personally. It's just some gang, and it's normal difficulty.

    Hmm, okay, so, with verbal sparring, the target is 1. So if we roll a 5 or more, we get the full success. So, 60% chance, and 100% chance of at least a partial success... though if we roll a 1 we take stress anyways. Sure, let's not spend stress... but I am worried about what happens on a partial success.

    But eh. Yeah, I'm convinced, no stress is my vote.
     
    I think we should spend 1 stress, but I have some pretty awful paranoia regarding fucking up. Also, stress means XP further down the line.
     
    So! I have collected the anydice programms to get an insight into the chances of throws. For example the chance of three successes on one die at an threshold of 1 was only 12% (8% for more than that).


    [LINK TO PROGRAMM]
    First program is the simplest. The more effort Praxis put into an action the more it tires her. For each die after the first it is one additional point but there is the risk of additional points. That happens for each die that lands on a number equal or less than the number of dice thrown by Praxis (helpers throw their own and are not counted). The results are very static so I included the relevant results here.
    function: strainfor NUMBER:n {
    result: [count {1..NUMBER} in NUMBERd10] + NUMBER -1
    }

    output [strainfor 1] named "0 Strain"
    output [strainfor 2] named "1 Strain"
    output [strainfor 3] named "2 Strain"
    output [strainfor 4] named "3 Strain"
    • 90% for 0 Points
    • 10% for 1 Point
    • 64% for 1 Point
    • 32% for 2 Points
    • 4% for 3 Points
    • 34.3% for 2 Points
    • 44.1% for 3 Points
    • 18.9% for 4 Points
    • 2.7% for 5 Points
    • 13% for 3 Points
    • 34.5% for 4 Points
    • 34.5% for 5 Points
    • 15.4% for 6 Points
    • 2.6% for 7 Points
    [LINK TO PROGRAMM]
    This programm tallies the number of successes for the given number of dice and the to beat threshold. Normal throws have to beat 6+, Hard 8+ and Impossible 10+. The programm does not care for that but only the number after the relevant boni. Our GM has put down the rule that one success is enough to get what Praxis is aiming for but with a downside. With two successes or more the downside falls away with increasingly better wins on top. That is why the programm tallies 0, 1 and 2 or more successes.
    Because Praxis does not always work alone sometimes others throw dice in her support. As such they use different thresholds and number of dice. Their successes will be added to Praxis but made it nessecary to make alterned versions of the code for those circumstances.
    function: rolls DICE:n threshold DC:n{
    SUCCEEDS: 0
    loop N over {1..DICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL DC]
    }
    result: SUCCEEDS
    }
    function: decide ROLL:n DC:n {
    if ROLL >= DC {
    result: 1 + (ROLL-DC)/4
    }
    result: 0
    }
    function: judge RESULTS:n {
    if RESULTS >= 2 {
    result: MORE
    }
    if RESULTS = 1 {
    result: ONLY
    }
    result: FAIL
    }
    FAIL: 0
    ONLY: 1
    MORE: 2
    function: brolls DICE:n threshold DC:n{
    SUCCEEDS: 0
    loop N over {1..DICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL DC]
    }
    result: [judge SUCCEEDS]
    }
    function: crolls DICE:n threshold DC:n rolls BDICE:n threshold BDC:n{
    SUCCEEDS: 0
    loop N over {1..DICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL DC]
    }
    loop N over {1..BDICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL BDC]
    }
    result: [judge SUCCEEDS]
    }
    function: drolls ADICE:n threshold ADC:n rolls BDICE:n threshold BDC:n rolls CDICE:n threshold CDC:n{
    SUCCEEDS: 0
    loop N over {1..ADICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL ADC]
    }
    loop N over {1..BDICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL BDC]
    }
    loop N over {1..CDICE} {
    ROLL: [explode 1d10]
    SUCCEEDS: SUCCEEDS + [decide ROLL CDC]
    }
    result: [judge SUCCEEDS]
    }

    output [rolls 2 threshold 5] named "1 Stress, distribution"
    output [brolls 2 threshold 5] named "1 Stress, collected"

    output [count {2..20} in [rolls 2 threshold 6] + [rolls 1 threshold 6] ] named "0 Stress + help, least 2"
    output [crolls 2 threshold 6 rolls 1 threshold 6] named "0 Stress + help, collected"

    output [count {2..20} in [rolls 2 threshold 6] + [rolls 1 threshold 7] + [rolls 3 threshold 8] ] named "1 Stress + 2 help, least 2"
    output [drolls 2 threshold 6 rolls 1 threshold 7 rolls 3 threshold 8] named "1 Stress + 2 help, collected"
    Group Combat has at this point only happened once so this is subject to change. More so than the rules for the other programms.

    And the programm is currently broken. EDIT: Fixed
    [LINK TO PROGRAMM]

    The Programm takes the number of combatans and the tactic bonus of our guys. If the enemy has that bonus we most likely have lost already.
    In combat there are no exploding dice. The combatans get boni for their Nerve stat and the weapon they wield together with the winning tatics bonus. Each round of combat the tactic bonus decrease until it reaches zero and meele combat is started.
    The successes of combatans are pooled and halfed (if uneven attack gets the point) before compared to the opponents. To defencive die is the armor added and if it is larger than the opposing attacking pool no wounds are made. If less than it is that number of wounds. Additionally each natural 1 is an automatic fail and wound regardless if the boni has pushed the threshold lower than 1. The programm than compares the number of self inflicted and from opponent action. If a positiv result is displayed it only means that that many more opponent have been wounded than own.
    The pogramm only simulate one round of combat.
    \A negativ result means that more of our are wounded than of the enemy.\
