In the careering cart a young mother and child realise their predicament and cry for help. The cart is almost flipping and something must be done to stop the horses or the passengers will be thrown and killed.Suggestions: Athletics can be used to intercept the cart on the first round. Then it's too late. Athletics while riding can be used throughout the encounter. Streetwise can be used to make a shortcut and intercept the cart next round. A successful passive Insight roll will tell the players the horses were spooked by a the glare from a nearby window. Magic might be used to calm the horses or to control the cart. Counts as 1 success per spell, if applicable.Development: At 1 failure the mother is just barely hanging on to the cart whilst the child hangs onto her arm, mere inches from the ground. At 2 failures the passengers lose grip and crash into the ground, taking fall damage, possibly killing them.Victory: At 4 successes the team of horses are calmed and the wagon stops. The woman and child are shocked and not terribly grateful. Days later the woman will approach the party and offer pertinent information on a current investigation.</blockquote>
