Quoted By:

Perhaps that would have ended the fraying conversation, had Sulphreme not interjected himself. Fie! The confusion slips off of the face of Cantcanis and he smiles as he nods his acceptance of this 'fact'; but it does not satiate his tongue.

"So, are you taking up residence here, or just -"

"Visiting. Well, I mean, we're - oh, father's here on family business."

You are faltering. Pull it together. Pattern's Perdition, where is that food? Perhaps you should find some way to excuse yourself from the room to relieve yourself. But you don't exactly know how someone like Wilhelmina would go about doing that - or if she would at all. Not to mention, if you stepped out of the room temporarily, you would have to take your bundle with you, which would draw attention to it, and -

"Where in the Whole did you come from?"

Shit, now that Chirurgeon is asking questions. You -

"How do you know her father, anyway?"

That wasn't directed at you, but at Sulphreme - from the man two seats to the left of him, who up until now you believed wasn't paying attention to the conversation at all. This is ... everything is just getting away from you. Where did you even figure that Wilhelmina and her father were from again? And the other conversation; you may interject into it, but unless you tell a lie - a lie that Sulphreme will recognize as a lie - you don't see how it could be any different from just letting the Taker answer the question truthfully; that he doesn't know your father, that he has never even <span class="mu-i">seen</span> your father. And for someone to escort a man's daughter without the knowledge of her father, without her father even knowing the man ... that is likely to be looked at in askance. And it may beg questions that are harder still to answer.

> DC 24 Anything lower is a failure. [Auto-pass(es) available. Re-roll(s) available. No hostile re-roll(s)]

> No Passes: Losing Your Head. From the moment you set foot in The Hooded Heads, you just knew that you didn't belong here, and that your story was not going to work. And guess what? You were right!
> One Pass: A Foot in the Door. Even as you try to explain yourself, the proprietor is trying to shoo you out of the establishment .. though he isn't completely ignoring you. Do you continue with the Introduction, or do you just bail?
> Two Passes: Of Hoods and Heads. Despite your best efforts, the proprietor here has picked up on some holes in your story. This is going to make the Ask a lot harder.
> Three Passes: Putting Heads Together. The proprietor is nodding along as you weave your backstory. As long as you don't blow the Ask, you should be free and clear.

> If ONE of the THREE rolls comes up as a Critical or Near Critical Failure (Roll of 1 or 2) then as you are leaving The Hooded Heads, the axle of your cart breaks.
> If ONE of the THREE rolls comes up as a Critical or Near Critical Success (Roll of 100 or 99) then the proprietor beats you to the punch, and offers you a place to park your cart under lock and key for free here going forward, so long as your cover story holds.

>Standard rules in effect - so if you want to use the auto-pass, then you need to speak up before a Critical or Near Critical is rolled.

>DC 13 Anything lower is a failure. [One auto-pass(es) available. Two re-roll(s) available. No hostile re-roll(s)]

>No Passes: No boots for you! Maybe it was when you trailed off as you snuck the second blade out of your left boot, or maybe you said something that just didn’t sit right with the Cobbler, but he just does not want to hear it. He will not sell you any men’s clothes.
>One Pass: Tred Carefully. The Cobbler is still listening to you, but you can tell that you have aroused some suspicion – he does not look confused any more, just suspicious. You need to push past this!
>Two Passes: One Step at a Time: The Cobbler seems to be going along with your story so far, but things are only going to get harder to swallow from here on out. You cannot let up!
>Three Passes: Leaps and Strides. The Cobbler is nodding along as you weave yourself a backstory. You have this – more importantly, you have him! So long as you don’t blow it, of course …

>If ONE of the THREE rolls comes up as a Critical or Near Critical Failure (Roll of 1 or 2) then the Cobbler is not just unwilling to sell you any men’s clothing, but he is furious … at your ‘husband’ for allowing you to attempt to buy men’s clothing! As he shoos you from his shop, he says that he has half a mind to go to the Refinery Tenements and give him a piece of his mind when he closes shop for the day.
>If ONE of the THREE rolls comes up as a Critical or Near Critical Success (Roll of 100 or 99) then the Cobbler relents sooner than expected. You will be allowed to purchase men’s clothing from this shop without issue going forward, so long as your cover story holds.

>Standard rules in effect - so if you want to use the auto-pass, then you need to speak up before a Critical or Near Critical is rolled.

I’m testing out a new way of doing deception-tests; lower DCs but with multiple stages that you have to pass through. If this works well, then I might change up how all tests work going forward.

>No Passes: Here for a Pick-Up. Dressmaker Cassandra remains convinced that you are lying, that you stole the money. She intends to turn you over to the Guard!
>One Pass: No Chemise, No Service. Dressmaker Cassandra begrudgingly acknowledges that it is possible that you are telling the truth, but she simply does not want to ‘assume the risk’ of taking your custom. Your money is refunded, your commission canceled.
>Two Passes: Don’t Trust, but Verify. Dressmaker Cassandra acknowledges that it is possible that you are telling the truth, but she wants to speak with your father to confirm that this is all above board.

>If ONE of the THREE rolls comes up as a Critical or Near-Critical Success (Roll of 100 or 99) then Dressmaker Cassandra orders several additional seamstresses to work on the dress to be done with this whole affair as soon as possible.
