[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8404124, member: 93670"] The situation you quoted is one I see pretty often. Alice could go out to do something with the rest of the group not even paying attention. While out alice starts talking to a shopkeeper or random guard and everyone suddenly wants to retroactively declare they want with alice but if alice is subjected to a negative effect like a spell environmental effect trap or whatever everyone will want to claim:"I never said I went with alice, ". You can have fun salting the results of that same justification and players will have a new cool thing todo... Bob:what do I know about medusa eith an arcana roll of x? Gm: they don't really have any vulnerabilities or not and turn people to stone but you remember seeing a CNN play at a phiarlin scryhouse where they needed to burn the head snakes in a circle of salt to keep it from regenerating if any of her victims were stone to fleshed after killing one.they tend to keep basilisk and coctrice as pets & guards Also bob: what does a y arcana tell me about basilisk and coctrice? Gm: they t uh run people to stone and <rough desciption> but in the sequel to that play they were vulnerable to [i]gold[/i] tipped arrows Alice:I'm going to buy it a lot of salt, like ten or twenty pounds. Does that seem reasonable guys? Dave; how much will it cost me for gold tipped arrows? I tell the Smith I'm expecting to fight coctrice and basalisk. Wow yea guess that's fair. [/QUOTE]
