They're obliged to go along with whatever they agreed to. (This is a small point, but [USER=6915329]@Faolyn[/USER] is very concerned about it, so I thought I had better mention it.)(2) The result is binding like any other outcome in BW. It can be changed when circumstances drastically change. The rulebooks and commentary give various illustrations. A couple have also come up in this thread: the most common (in my experience, at least) is when the players re-stake their win.A non-DoW example of such "re-staking" was posted by me upthread - the PCs had drugged Halika to give themselves the opportunity to get to Jabal's tower without her interference. They then  snuck carefully through the catacombs to get into Jabal's tower - but the test failed. Working carefully gives a bonus die, but if the test fails then the GM is licensed and indeed obliged to introduce a serious, time-sensitive complication. The examples given in the book are things like the guards show up or the bomb goes off. What I did was have Halika recover from her drugged stupor and herself head to the tower.The players didn't expressly put Halika's torpor/consciousness back into play. But they made time matter; and her torpor was the most salient thing that might wear off if time passes. So I decided that Let it Ride no longer applied. The players didn't disagree - they sheepishly accepted the consequence. (Sheepish because the decision to go through the catacombs had been made principally because Jobe's player wanted to earn a test on Catacombs-wise. At the time I had expressed surprise at this decision, given his weak rating in that skill, and the fact that both characters had more reliable ways of sneaking into a tower than via the catacombs; and when the plan fell apart as forecast, I didn't hold back in my response.)</blockquote>
