[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6096444, member: 57383"] Glad to be of service. Yes, I'd be inclined to have the "Side-Quests" success or failure incorporate into the overall success of the skill failure. Maybe not in a simple "tot up the successes and failures" way, though. Maybe with an additional layer of resolution? However, I can see situations where the success/failure rates of the Side-Quests don't add to the main Skill Challenge. For example, say Zolar meets Krik-Tik-It in the back of a tent and fails the negotiation roll but the grimoire trader completely fails to see through the wizard's disguise and just thinks Zolar is a hobgoblin sorcerer who won't make a deal. That's a failure on the Side-Quest, but it shouldn't count as a failure for the "Get Through The Market" challenge. Contrariwise, if Zolar gets a juicy clue for about his grimoire but is exposed as a human wizard, that's a success on the Side-Quest but a failure for the Skill Challenge. It may be more likely that Zolar gets in the good graces of Krik-Tik-It (a success for both the Side-Quest and Skill Challenge) or is exposed and attacked as a "murderous human wizard" (a failure for both), but it seems prudent to consider the other possibilities.
