Sounds good to me, Khaaven can attempt to build off both of you guys.

Sounds good to me. Illusions would have been fun for you to, I bet. Though we have been facing a lot of undead and they probably sense the world in a totally different way.

I don't really have a good cue here to advance time - the player knows you're resting and why, the character does not.

Although it's true that a cult was mentioned, she's probably also at least a little curious about the two guys in blood-red robes tied up on the floor.

Been working alot will post from phone in just a few.

Am I right in thinking that interrogation would be Talk It Over, with no assist from Khaaven (since he's not Charismatic) and no assist from Evan (since he's busy helping Khaaven)?

I agree about Talk It Over.

I don't see why Evan can't help too, though...

I will help I just wanted to let someone else have a chance to roll

Lost power here

Evan will help.

On my phone at the moment but probably won't post till tomorrow.

Guys? Arrrre we stuck?

I don't know what to do I want to bring them back to the ship turn them over to the law.

On one hand, there's a move for that: Head Back to the Village Early.

On the other hand, the cultist THINKS that you promised to let them go:




On the third hand, I am aware that you didn't exactly agree to release them...



If you don't keep the implied promise, though, it might come back to bite you later on...

I never agreed to release them.

That was their wishful thinking LOL.

I'm inclined to let them go with a few subtle jinxes, but as a player I won't stop you from the double cross.

How do people view this as a double cross I never said I would let them run free that is what they might have wanted but this is what I told them.

"Fine, We will escort you to the ship. We won't leave you at our backs. You tell us all we want to know though starting with what being you worship along with what the major threat is out here is."

I told them what I would be doing and that I would not be leaving them at our backs to cause us further problems. So I guess we viewed that conversation completely different.

Because they said "we'll talk if you promise to do the following things" and then you said "fine."

I guess another way of saying it would be: in real life, anyone would consider it breaking the promise they asked for, so everyone but you is going to consider it breaking the promise they asked for in this fiction, too.

No I countered with what I was offering them and they then spoke.

I don't think it is only me.

I guess I will go along with whatever people chose.
I didn't see it as that and I know in the real world certainly not everyone would agree with you that I agreed to that promise by saying fine and then countering with what they would be receiving that is called bargaining. They didn't say wait a minute what do you mean or hey we don't want to go to your ship or anything like that does that mean they expressly agreed to what Evan wanted by going ahead and talking ?

Regardless this has left a very sour taste in my mouth and I will just assume that magically perhaps his patron, he knows how the rest of the universe thinks that went down.

We don't really need to take them back to land right now, I just arrived with the mayor who wanted to check in, so there should be somebody we can hand them off to.  A little deception, claiming they were rescued from a zombie while leaving out the "Because they were subdued after a fight" bit, and now they're victims rather than prisoners.

They'd be safely escorted to dry land, they'd be released, and we'd be sticking within Evan's actual promise.

Fine

Um... well, it's not me, is the thing




They do agree to go to the ship, because it's the immediate way out of here.

Yes, they started talking more freely strictly because they thought their offer was accepted.

I was, of course, aware that you were speaking in a cagey way... but the captives think their agreement as they stated it was accepted.

I just figured you were planning to double-cross them all along.

So... I knew you probably weren't going to do what they wanted, and you knew it. The thing that's bothering you is that you seemed to have thought that the PRISONERS knew that you didn't agree, and that's just not the case at all based on you saying "fine" and then some stuff that didn't make your intentions clear. "Ah, Evan's tricking them with word games," I thought at the time, "so be it..."




I agree that you three don't actually have to return to the mainland if you don't want to.

To return to the ship, though, will require the move I mentioned.




Agree that this would fulfill the bounds of the promise they thought they were asking for just fine.

Having said all THAT... Well, it's a 2... y'all can roll 2 more d6, since the other two members of the party have Insightful...

I can go with what Renee said.

We will just do that instead of all of us needing to return to shore.

Waiting on Khaaven...

Wait... this is just a die roll. This is actually the sort of situation Khaaven has said it's okay for me to roll on Khaaven's behalf for. I shall do so.

...1. Okay, so much for that. So it's a 4...
