Camp != campfire.

Befriend Wisps.

But no good camp is complete without one!

Keep trying. We'll eventually get a good persuasion roll.

If we do go fighting I say we go for some tactical combat.
For now:

Insanity... penalty? I thought that would be a bonus!

It's technically impossible to do the same thing twice. You can do two impossibly similar things, but never the same thing.

Also I should just make one drawing and say it's the peak of my skill since repetitively drawing pictures expecting differences in quality is insanity?

Well, we're talking about a failed roll under circumstances where past failed rolls actually would make successive rolls harder to succeed (since the Wisps trust Ciro less and less with each bullshit thing she says). It's not really the same situation. Expecting it to improve by doing the same type of action with no other modifications is insane.

A better comparison would be trying to draw the exact same picture three times except the subject itself on paper looks shitty, so no matter how many times you repeat that specific shitty drawing, it'll still be a shitty drawing. You'd have to draw something else for it to look better.

(Roll: 3 + 5 Persuasion) Did you really think it was going to be that easy?
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!
No.

Kindly inform wisps we are not interested in passing. Set up camp and invite them for a fine round of PLOT EXPOSITION.

You lack the requisite S'mores ingredients!

can we
can we bloodshape the s'mores?
How large a font do you want that "No!" in?

Keep trying. We'll eventually get a good persuasion roll.
Hah, no.
((Heh. My thoughts were echoed by freeform..."Insanity Bonus"...probably shoulda been a flat -5 per attempt or something, though...))

Another Lichenstein quote!
To the TV Tropes page! Lichenstein has two lines and a name, he must be important!

Anyways. Attempt combat!
1. Ciro shoots a wisp.
2. Cherish smacks or pokes a wisp with what's left of the spear.
3. Goom-Bess uses that Mega-Stomp thingy if there are multiple wisps left, or Normal-Stomps the survivors if only one is.
4. Should combat be completed, check Skill Tree.
