The way i'm thinking of it is that persuasion is more than just words. Body language, subtle gestures, the intonations of certain words - that's what persuasion is about. Of course, the words you are important - the more persuasive they read as, the lower the challenge rating is. If you just do 'persuade' as a command i'll assume you're speaking in caveman monosyllables and just you'll have the highest challenge - or it simply won't work.

Woah guys I think we're getting way ahead of the GM here.

Firstly I'm just about to start walking home.

And then ten minutes later we have Jarund arriving at the knightlodge and calling the meeting.

And then about ten minutes after that I assume I'll be arriving at the knight-lodge, with or without the Ferrikan.

And now we've got Helgoland doing his dawn routine, before the rest of us have even gone to sleep.


Not sure if we can get away with this much...

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Yeah, I'm still only about 5-10 minutes ahead of you, Tack. It's nowhere near morning yet. I'm half expecting the GM to tell me I have to wait for the turn to get back to the knightlodge, even.

To clarify, Jarund is waking everyone up just a few minutes after they've gone to bed. It's not even fully dark outside yet.

Can't we have him wake everyone up  before dawn? That way we won't have to go back to bed.

That might be a better idea, but it means everyone who already made their turns will have to -snip- them.

They actually all kinda fit... Let's just let the GM decide, eh?

It depends on if the Ferrikan waits until morning to meet up with the party, or follows Tack's character back. If he does wait until morning, I'm fine with it.

Normally he'd come back with me and rouse on the knights.
But he does seem like a Massive hothead.

Okay, I added the social skills back to avoid looking like a total hick of an oaf, but they're rudimentary. No more edits, though, I'm completely and totally done with my sheet.

Ok. Time seems to be a little snarled, and unlike in. Lordran, this isn't ideal.

If I retcon it to you wake them up before dawn and tell them all then it'll be simpler. You'll probably get one last update then before I'm away for the weekend. Try to keep your actions chronologically consistent, please, as it just makes things easier all round.

We could start adding a time to each action - that would make coordination much easier.

How about two updates? One pre-leaving, one as we leave?
Then the 'Journey' can take place over the weekend, for awesome realtime sync.

Actually I figured it'd belong to another party member.
I just figured the buzkari would pick the horse most likely to take two people.

Do I assume none of us own horses?

Hard mode achievement: complete the mission without any of us injuring the ferrikan.
