One character could be over here, another over there, they could do their things on different times or days, etc. It just has to fit together in terms of fictional logic as a coherent whole. Now if one PC is going off to do something, I'd think that's probably not the 'whole thing' (IE the challenge has greater scope and whatever they are doing is just one little bit). It isn't impossible for a kind of scoping issue to arise here, where you think the challenge should cover one thing, and then figure out later it might have needed to cover other stuff that wasn't played out as part of it. You can probably fix things like that in most cases.That can happen, sure. [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] has had a couple examples of that he's posted, where the dwarf was a liability, but the dwarf also figured out how to mitigate it as far as possible (in one scenario he left the table, in the other he carried out a side task) though amusingly in both cases that character's social ineptitude figured pretty heavily in the outcome (the second one maybe it was more just the constraints of the dwarf's personality).</blockquote>
