Only some of the “skill roll” failures count as challenge failures, i.e. those that will attract enemy attention. Those PCs not covered by a success will use a healing surge until they have an extended rest with two successes worth of food.  Complexity: Requires a number of successes equal to the number of PCs per day. Once the number of globally relevant failures has reached 4, the challenge is considered a failure. The skill challenge ends successfully once the PCs leave Thay.  Primary Skills:  *Endurance (DC 18): The Character making the check goes without food and sleep without any ill effect. Failure does not count against global failure total.  *Nature (DC 23): The character tries to forage. No easy task in the barren lands of Thay! A successful roll grants one success, for each 5 points above the DC, grant another success. Failure has no global skill challenge effect.  *Streetwise (DC 20): The character tries to buy things on the black market. A failure count as a global failure. A successful skill check counts as two succeses.  *Diplomacy (DC 15): The character tries to get support from people by begging and appealing to their good-will. This can work quite well with some people but is also likely to attract attention. Failure counts as two levels of global failure.  *Thievery (DC 18): Stealing food and sneaking into abandoned buildings for the night is also possible. Failure has a global effect.  Secondary Skills:  *Streetwise or Nature (DC 20): Streetwise or Nature can be used to cover up tracks (socially and physically). A success reduces the global failure level, a failure counts normally.  *Intimidate (DC 18): Intimidation can be used to delay the effect of a failed Streetwise, Diplomacy or Thievery roll for a day. I.e. the resulting rise of failure level only occurs the next day.   Success: Once the characters leave Thay, the skill challenge ends.  Failure: Failure has different levels that you should notify the PCs of.  Level 1: The PCs see black riders and possibly get warnings that agents of Szass Tamm are after them.  Level 2: People recognize the PCs from the many wanted posters that can be found everywhere.  Level 3: A patrol is waiting for them at the next town/landmark but they can easily spot and avoid it.  Level 4: A patrol of the lich emperor ambushes the PCs.</blockquote>
