The Dice Roller seems to be getting the spectacularly low rolls out of the way while the situation is non-combat oriented.

Ateno...I need your Art roll to see how you wow the crowd!

I only just noticed the call for dice (behind the spoiler button) :oops:

I was busy with a long post on my own game, which is out of the way now.

I'll post this evening.

We are definitely going to have to find a shorter name for Nehnyamodh than "Nehnyamodh"!

Nenya will do. Nen seems too curt.

Part of her name translates as "Blossom" :) (or bloom).

  • Odo: Connection Skill for connection with Solomon
  • Einar
    • Connection skill for connection with Andras
    • Package Skill
None of this is critical so, unless there is some other great oversight, I'm ready!!!!

(Objections must be filed with a successful Admin roll, in triplicate, by the close of 1105)

So as the crowd will be chanting -

10...
Sorry, totally forgot about this--given that we bonded while carousing on a buying trip to Glisten, I'll go with Carouse!

Phenrey watches Einar drift through the crowd – easing his way past the crush – uncomfortable with the crowd. A swirl of bodies, and Einar’s wallet is passed between three people in moments. He doesn’t even feel it go. Does Phenrey interrupt? They have no-where to run in this crush.
Phenrey
Phenrey for now follows closely these people to be sure who has Einar's wallet.

Do I know who is Einar? Ever meet him?

Einar's one of the party that have come to watch Phoenix that Nenya'd got attached to. Andras, who Nenya knows, is Phoenix's roadie and is Einar's friend.

(n.b. Nenya has wandered off an abandoned you with the rest of the group muttering something about some special pyrotechnics thing - and Einar's complaining of a headache and also wandered off. Umpire's throwing all players together to bond plan has, of course, died in seconds!)

Splitting the party in everyone's first post is probably a record. :)

At least we haven't started a PvP (yet), that's something to cling to. :D

The Combat Sequence allows
1 Major Action or 2 Minor actions
plus 1 Minor Action
in each round.

Please state your intentions clearly for each round - and take into account that some actions will be multi-round.

Initiative is fixed for the whole situation (it can be modified by forgoing actions)

For various tasks,
Isaac, Andras and Phoenix are one group on/back stage with Helen (NPC Security) and road-crew, etc.
Tani, Ramnertvar, Mari, Mimak, Horvang and Thor (All NPC Security) are a group around the stage front
Odo, William, Margaret (NPC) and Phenrey are one group in the middle of the crowd.
Angeo (NPC Security) and a crowd of passengers from the "Absence of Malice" are a group, also in the crowd
Solomon and Einar are one group
Nenya is a loner
Boronu, Sif, Ishala and Leah (all NPC Security) are the company's on-call reserves.

By way of information for those for whom this is new, I'll take the lid off the requested rolls and what's looked at...(I'll update as new rolls arrive)
Initiative
WhoDMRollDEX or INTEffectOrder
Isaac0710TBC
Einar0923TBC
Phoenix01024TBC
Odo0822TBC
Andras042-2TBC
Solomon070-1TBC
Phenray040-4TBC
William0 TBC1TBCTBC
Nehnyamodh061-1TBC
As things stand (3 results to come), Phoenix is well ahead of the curve (Something to do with the height advantage?) and Phenrey is most surprised (Stuck in the crowd). There could have been a Beer penalty applied had I felt the need.

And
Agility (DEX)
WhoDMRollDEXEffectNotes
Isaac01114Average Success
Einar0N/A1N/AN/A
Phoenix2510Marginal Success
Odo0912Average Success
Andras0811Success
Solomon2N/A0N/AN/A
Phenrey240-2Oops
William0 TBC1TBCTBC
Nehnyamodh0N/A1N/AN/A
n.b. For this task, there is no possibility of preparation and as you are in your glad-rags in a crowd, your personal equipment options are also limited. I've assumed that you are none sufficiently drunk to merit a "Drunk" penalty - Phenrey seems to have dice that have read his state quite well!

Have a idea how to get Zoomer back to his family and get out of the danger zone is what is immediately on Phoenix's mind.
