The Sheep Get Shorn-Tristan Age 5
In reply to Tristan (msg # 100):
Sorry. I somehow missed your post.
When you come shooting out from under the table, you can only see one person seated at it. He's the man you saw in the hallway before. The one who looks like the man with the bag, except bigger and somehow scarier.
He lurches upright and then falls over, his feet tied together.
The children all look up, staring at you in surprise. As if the Olly Olly Oxenfree was like some kind of slap or a bucket of cold water, they seem to come to their sense.
The stairwell runs upwards. And at a steep angle. The children, including you and Mallory and Mary, start to surge towards it.
So I need you to roll me a social check here.
Either a Charm, Leadership, or Intrigue roll/Pre roll. If you don't have levels in any of those skills make, you can still make the attempt. Just remember if you make a skill roll in a skill you have no levels in (and it's a skill you can attempt untrained), you roll three extra botch dice if you botch. And yep, this is a stress test.
Also, are you running up the stairs ahead of the group? In the middle of the group? Or at the end of the group?
