Explain that there is a perfectly reasonably explanation.

There is an explanation and that is some gold coins for you if you let me pass.

Kanthulhu posted:it's Explaining time The Kingdoms of Terror posted:‘Bah!’ exclaims a guard contemptuously. ‘We have no time for witless wanderers. Go back to Casiorn if you have no business here.’ He spits at the ground and the guards turn towards the open town gate.

North Gate, hopefully it’s not restricted access. Side Edit- 1 year ago today, Joe Dever passed away. His work is still classic . achtungnight fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Shadow on the Sand posted:The guards exchange glances and nod their heads in agreement. ‘Ten Gold Crowns will make you a welcome guest in our town, stranger,’ whispers the shorter of the two men, holding out his gauntleted hand in expectation. These sections work a lot better when you're reading the book by yourself and can just skip through them very quickly rather than having to vote on each one.

Tiggum- Yes, but audience participation may also be important to LPs depending on author and reader preference. To provide money space later, pay the guards off.

Money is hardly ever a pressing concern, so fork it over.

Shadow on the Sand posted:You enter a wide street where black iron lanterns swing above the doors of shops and houses, their oily black smoke staining the walls and adding a pall of gloom to the darkening sky. The street descends towards the River Quarl, where flatboats lie moored at the rich merchant wharves. Quarlen stands at the most northerly point on the river that can be navigated by boat and barge, and it is here that the river meets the caravan routes to Casiorn and the Lastlands, so ensuring the future of the town.

Tiggum- Counting new votes repeatedly for a decision where you can back out doesn’t seem like too big a deal to me, but you can always keep votes for repeated options from previous approaches if you like. That’s what I would do here. Green-Cloaked Kai Master... Needs Food... Badly.

I wouldn't worry too much about decisions that give you an option to back out of something before you commit. There's usually a very good reason for them, so it's worth putting them to the vote. There are exceptions, though. See: Shadows on the Sand, part 1, escape, where almost every choice gives you the option to just give up and turn yourself in until you get to the Baga-daroosh.

The Kingdoms of Terror posted:You choose a seat near the corner: one that is laid for dinner and offers a clear view of the hall. A serving girl soon appears carrying a platter laden with roasted meat, and she proceeds to stack a generous helping on your plate. There's a slight problem with this bit of the book - it never checks if you have enough money to pay for the food and room. There's a different path for if you have no money at all, but if you've got between 1 and 4 Gold Crowns then you end up paying money you don't have. The Kingdoms of Terror posted:Suddenly, there is a mighty crash as the hall door is slammed shut. Into the tavern strides a black-browed young lordling, wearing a flamboyant costume of ebony and gold. He makes a ceremonious display of removing his velvet cloak and pompously demands food and wine, and it takes three serving girls and the innkeeper to see to his wishes. His manner is so insulting that you are not surprised to see the many scars that disfigure his young face. He must be continually provoking fights and duels. Normally you get to choose whether or not to use your bow if you have one, but in this instance it's mandatory for some reason. The Kingdoms of Terror posted:With the speed and grace of movement that marks you as a Kai Master, you load, take aim, and fire. Your Arrow pierces the lordling’s forearm as his sword descends, causing the blow to splinter stone, not skull. He utters a shrill cry and spins backwards, cradling his wounded arm as he falls. We now have 35 Gold Crowns and 5 arrows.

I probably would have chosen to shoot that Lordling anyway, he seems like an A-Hole. Just because other people may know about the Lorestone doesn't mean we can find them easily. Chat up the old man.

Ohhhh, I look so forward to killing Lord Roark later. Since we saved his life, let's ask about the Lorestone.

So ah,...ever heard about the Lorestone of your home town, than I am in no way very very interested in?.

The Kingdoms of Terror posted:The old man narrows his mousy eyes and looks at you with a cautious stare. ‘It is but a legend. Some say it contained great power; others say its power existed only in the minds of those who craved to own it. Whatever the truth is, the Lorestone has been lost for hundreds of years.’

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Kai Order, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the Darklords, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in bow warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire Sommerlund armed forces.

Those are some excellent votes.The Kingdoms of Terror posted:Cyrilus’ eyes open with such surprise that you can see the startled whites around his mousy-brown pupils. ‘Lone Wolf,’ he whispers, incredulously, ‘I should have known. Humble apologies, my lord. I thought that you sought the Lorestone for less than honourable reasons.’ Cyrilus would have joined us and told us about the Lorestone regardless of what we did or said, there's no way to leave Quarlen without him.
