Gives you a +1 on your roll. If you succeed on your roll you resist the terror. If you fail I apply your margin of failure to a roll against a table to determine the effect of the terror. Give me your rolls in private only if you fail. I'll give you the result that you can use as your cue in your response post.

Oh dear.

06:51, Today: Darius rolled 13 using 3d6.  Will-2 [9].

Not too bad Darius. It would take some really bad rolling to be in any significant amount of threat. But some hefty mental disadvantages are on the line ;) Tauret mostly spoke for theatric effect, however, things have happened...

If you had to go crazy heading that way after seeing her wouldn't be the worst of fates!  :)

You insensitive bastards lol. This is turning out way more fun than I imagined.

We're all murderhobos at heart... :)

How about leadership roll to put some steel in the spine of the weeping women and children?

Yah leadership could work.

And a properly loud quarterdeck voice!

In reply to Yadundre (msg # 48):

Hey everyone. Just a heads up. On Monday we will be setting off for four weeks with work. It is likely that I will not be able to post regularly, if at all, during that time. Sorry for the inconvenience. Feel free to have Joanna act like, well, Joanna. She will want to return to the market to get her pay even more now, and will not be opposed to sniping those Kothians with her crossbow when she sees them there, as she expects to. After she gets her pay...unless she needs to snipe them to get her pay...

Sniping them is nearly as much fun as getting paid, so she will not expect a whole lot extra to do it. Or stab them in the back, or cut their throats as they did...

In reply to Joanna (msg # 49):

We'll do a lot of paid sniping I think!

In reply to Yadundre (msg # 50):

Oh, but for these bastards, she would do it for free! Not that she will object to getting paid...

Busy couple of days on my end. I should be able to get caught up tomorrow.

In reply to Joanna (msg # 51):

Yea, Yadundre isn't the white knight type having come from the ranks of the Black Corsairs but he'll not stand for the cold blooded slaughter of children and women.  Kidnapping as part of a slave raid... maybe... slaughter... no!

Be safe Joanna and have a good trip. We await your return in roughly a month.

I'm going to be slow posting for a day or two.

Thanks for NPC'ing Yadundre boss!

I'll do it from time to time to keep the pace, except for when a vital decision is needed or something I think you really won't want to miss out on participating in.

In reply to Crom (msg # 57):

Quick check in. Did the group split? If so, where are those casing the neighbours? If not, where did we pick up a tail?

Yes the group split. Yadundre and Darius led the women back to the rental. Yadundre detected the tail and they managed to shake it. Joanna and Ariston are still back at the murder scene, frozen in time and needing to catch up. Ariston is going through a busy spell and I told him to take his time since Joanna is away for the time being. So hopefully he will have some time shortly.

BTW, we have a new player. I apologize that I neglected to introduce him earlier. Welcome Alfonso.

In reply to Crom (msg # 60):

Welcome Alfonso!!!

Yo. :)

In reply to Darius (msg # 62):

Likewise, welcome Alfonso!

Could we decide on a few rolls to make so we can fast track investigations?

Joanna plan is to
 - Alter her appearance
 - Talk to the neighbours, asking if they saw anything, before telling them the neighbours were attacked and, saying they were now scared for their own lives, leaving.
 - Checking for tails. If they see them, she will head to get paid...

Okay give me these rolls and I'll write up a summary of the results.

-Alter your appearance: Doesn't really need a roll since you aren't trying to pass yourself off as anything in particular. Makeup or disguise can help hide racial features (Zingaran) and mask your age. Takes 30 minutes.

-Question the neighbors: Fast-talk to get them to talk to you. Intelligence Analysis or IQ-6 to gain any insights into the nature of or purpose for the crime, maybe even predict the next move.

-Checking for tails: Roll Observation or PER-5.

Welcome Alfonso!

And my apologies for my own delay, hell of a week.

Ariston will run interference for Joanna and keep an eye out while he works so she can focus on her task at hand.
