They all roll, everyone tells me what they rolled. If no one passes, I just say, "ok" and we continue on with whatever is taking place at the time. I don't expand or elude to anything in particular and this does leave them scratching their heads for a moment or two. They might say, something like, "uh, oh" or "we're about to get screwed", or make some joke, but other than that they just shrug it off and go about their business. In the off chance that they do begin asking questions, I just inform them that "nothing seems out of the ordinary", "everything appears normal", and leave whatever it is that they missed off the table, since none of them passed the check, it no longer matters what happens next.In this case, I wouldn't have them even bother rolling. If one or more of the players mentioned that they were going to listen and try to discern if any of the people they spoke with, had an unusual or familiar accent I would simply alert them at the time of speaking with that particular NPC that, yes he does in fact have an accent. Now, in some cases, say for example, none of the PCs have ever frequently heard the particular accent spoken by another individual. Maybe an INT or WIS check to see if it is indeed, the right accent they are looking for.</blockquote>
