Dumb question: should I send the roll via PM or IC?

Dumb question: should I send the roll via PM or IC?

If you have something to write in the IC topic (like, a description of your character's actions), use the IC topic. Otherwise a PM is perfectly fine.

Am I supposed to roll too? Can I try to inject him this round, or does it take me a round to prepare the sedative?

No need to roll since you're not participating in the fight. Preparing the sedative requires a few seconds, so you'll be ready in the next round. If the other investigators succeed in subduing the mad patient by then, you can inject him right away.

Christopher's Scuffling roll

It's 1d6 (right?)

[dice]0[/dice]

[Overlord87]

Ok, moving on, since laitang should be back.

First of all, I need laitang's Stability check.

Then, there's another round. Choice your actions and tell me. If the men manage to overpower the madman, Holly can inject the sedative. Otherwise, she might still try, but she'll need a Scuffling check since the brawl is still going on.

[laitang]

I'm back. wow I'm away for a week and a fight breaks out!

[laitang]

So Clarence rolled a 1 for stability

[Mr. Handy]

Just in time for me to go away tomorrow through Sunday!

I'll definitely try to inject him in the coming round, even if he isn't completely subdued. Rolling Scuffling unskilled isn't that bad. Most people can be hit on a 3, unless they're particularly elusive and require a 4. Of course, it doesn't look like anyone's managed it in the first round.

[Overlord87]

Clarence loses 2 points of stability.

Anyone participating in the fight should roll Scuffling again.

[leonardolad]

Oh boy...

1d6=1

Clarence loses 2 points of stability.

Oh Crap.


Clarence rolled a 2 for scuffling. Hmm

Holly's Scuffling roll (in case it's needed) to inject the patient:
[dice]0[/dice]

[Overlord87]

The men should take some boxing lessons or something like that

[Overlord87]

Regardless of the other rolls, Holly succeeds in injecting the sedative. I'll move the story along.

This popped up on my radar:

For convenience, I've uploaded a 1941 WPA Guide to Los Angeles for anyone running that chapter. It's about as close as I can find at the moment. The guide is illustrated and has some history of the city relevant for the period of play.

Might come in handy?

Hey, that thread is GM Only!

[carnage_lee]

I've not read the topic.. the link was on the latest posts carousel thingy.... hang on ... what were you doing there?

[leonardolad]

LOL. Same case here. I was in YSDC talking about the wiki and saw PoC's post passing in the "carousel thingy". It's not the first time a see this thread there. Never clicked on it, though.

[Overlord87]

Beware the spoilers guys. There is knowledge that is not meant for the mere mortals

I'll look into that material, anyway, thanks

[Overlord87]

Ok, since this is the first conversation/interrogation with a character that is not fully willing to cooperate, remember that you have a series of interpersonal abilities to use: Flattery, Interrogation, Reassurance, Oral History, and so on.

It would be best if you specify that you're using a particular ability, but It's not mandatory. For example, if Clarence (who has Interrogation), asks a question to Job with a forceful tone, I'll assume he's using Interrogation and act accordingly. Just remember that different investigators have different abilities and you should try to cooperate as much as you can to make use of all of them.

Also, regarding Assess Honesty, I'll let you know automatically if someone is trying to bullshit you (check out the additional infos on the ability that I've provided in the thread Game Mechanics).
