Fever Enigmatic [PBP Mystery Campaign - Full]

Cavalry/Fairy Charmer is making an Empathy check to try and determine what Crystalite/Marvelous means when we say "Life has been rough". You, of course, know exactly what we're talking about. How much does Fairy Charmer figure out?

Thing is, she can guess intent but without knowing more she wouldn't know any details.

Wait, I can actually get something out of this?

Logic argument!
Marvel was careful about how she phrased her words. There's nothing in her words to explain her reaction, and I don't have any telepathy skills to "read" her thoughts for information...

But Fairy is a changeling. A creature who feeds off emotion, who has a faulty view of pony psychology... but still has some grounding on the subject. She's deliberately trying to probe Marvel to figure out why she's so intent on finding out what the deal with her head injury was.

She didn't get a response to her question verbally... but empathy, trying to "read" Marvels body language and how she's feeling (I thought) might give her some insight to the ponies emotional state, or the kind of feelings she associates both with the past (which has been rough on her) and right now, in the present.

Well, anyone could get a read of emotions just by being generically empathetic. As said, there's intent but not actual details that could be picked. I guess I could just say "just roll" to simplify things.

Eh...know what?

Forget about it. This worrying over what empathy picks up has slowed things down enough as it is lol. Probably best to get back to the important things of the campaign... I can always try unravel Marvels secrets later lol.

EDIT For context, I really didn't't expect to get anything; just included the roll in case it was necessary, and to convey a sense of how "much" Fairy was probing. Sorry for the confusion.

What was that, Pot? The Kettle is BLACK!?

WHO KNEW!?

I'm sorry, I'm a little confuzzled. What do we see here?

Summer Wishes at the barn with the signup sheet for the upcoming event. Fairy Charmer was asking about garden supplies which Glorious Morning keeps in the barn. Since she recognized Summer Wishes, she said hello.

Theoretically, 'not very'. The class field trip is still in the bakery so just check APW's posts.

Much better, thank you. Posting...

Is that a typo? Please say it wasn't a typo.

T was a typo...

But let's roll with it!  

(C'mon...half the fun of an infiltrator is trying to avoid being caught. That's no fun if I stay perfectly in character all the time.)

Do you guys want to use the combat half of the new system? I will note that this is a low combat campaign.

I'm good with it.

I'm fine one way or the other, assuming I can motivate myself to post more again.

I put a smiley, but this is actually a recurring problem for me. o_O

Using the new combat means that Winter Dream will get to participate

YESYESYESYESYES!

In theory, he could do that now. That said, the two systems have different options and advantages.

But I like how defined it is in the new system I just pick the companion feature. and BOOM. Done   

Sure, why not. It'll be fun.

Damn. We didn't even have to disagree with him to bring out the red text.

Okay, looking over it again, I can see that this system, currently, feels very limited, so, yeah, changing my vote

Interesting. Considering the ease of getting Winter to work, what are your primary issues with it?
