Brunconero and everyone: My computer has popped it's cork. I will be unable to post or even check the game as often as I have for a bit. I'll be using my roommates laptop, when I can(when he's not on it. Hopefully I can get mine back up to snuff within a week.
Krusten: You unmounted from the horse, of course, to enter the mansion and attend the meeting and you guys are still in the mansion right now (You all started talking without specifying where and Tomas even asked a question to Goatshearer, so, for me, you all are in the mansion inside the meeting room). You don't know if you will still find it outside (but the chance is very very small).
Stefflabunny: Ok, thank you for letting us know. If I don't get actions from you I will just have Mina follow the majority and I will not apply the "Two days without posting" penalty until you tell me you got your laptop back.
I will repeat this once again to avoid complaints. Players roll for Initiative, Attack and Damage. I roll for Skill Checks and Save Throws, unless I ask you to roll. That's because I believe that, often, players should not know if they succeeded in a task or not.
Few examples. You search the room and find nothing: is that because there's nothing to find or because you got a 3 with your dice? Your character doesn't know. You hide or try to move silently: how can you know if you succeeded until somebody spots you or you make it unseen? That's also to avoid this: "Shoot, I got 5 on my Jump check. I will change my action". Remember I can't see your dice...
You can still roll on the Skills that have immediate effect or that don't allow to retry, but I would prefer not. So, how to do it? Just tell me what you want to do: I roll on spot or search or I use my tumble ability and so on.... If I get the rolls, I might or might not use them, at my discretion. Don't wonder if you got a 28 and still failed: it means I rerolled.
Another choice is talking 10 or 20, when possible. I will never override that.
As a small note, I will be attending a weekend long event [which] I will have limited computer [access] [during] (except before bed). So you may only see 1 post a day from me for the next 4 days while I'm attending the conformance.
I will be checking in on the game each night before I pass-out for bed after I get done in the conformance.
It [goes] till Monday, starting tomorrow morning.
Ok, Kit. Once a day is usually enough, no need to worry. FoxRogue: sorry, you are right, I left you and sgtlee idle waiting for the others. I'll update you both later today as soon as I can use my laptop.
Krusten, I'm not sure I understand your last post. You said you would take one of the entrance and listen. I asked through which entrance you want to peek and listen and you said you'll join the rest of the group (which is by the main gate, ready to leave the estate and the village). At this point, I would think you decided to join them but, if yes, how can you do all the things you added about visiting the servant and interrogate her?
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The idea was Krusten was just waiting until the time she could meet with the servant not really that she left with the rest of the group.
