[OOC Thread] The Lesser of Two Heresies.
Silhar:
--- Quote from: LuckyDee on August 22, 2012, 09:27 ---I took the liberty of rolling Scrutiny in deciding whether or not the Seer is still mucking about or genuinely clueless as to what Lazerus is hinting at. I rolled a 4, so I guess I can safely consider that a success taking into account any penalties Silhar may want to impose. In my opinion the Seer is a) our contact and not telling us straight up or b) offering help but has a highly annoying personality, might now of our mission but is not directly involved. If the roll is declared invalid or I'm otherwise unable to find out for sure, I'm going with b).

Then you're going with b).
It's that I'm strictly against rolling non-combat things against other players.
LuckyDee:
What a waste of a perfectly good 4 ;)
b) it is... here I go!

I, um.... what? 'Cause I'm really confused right now and I can honestly say I can't understand Laz's response - and what I mean by this, is that it feels totally out of context. She just said there is no "must do" for her, so... We did not understand each other or he's just playing stupid?
LuckyDee:
Based on hints the Seer was giving, Lazerus was expecting her to be the contact for Van Bohr, in which case she would indeed be obliged to admit. He could of course not come out and say so directly, in case he would be giving away the group's identity as Acolytes (in a town full of muties and outcasts, yay!).
Although Lazerus genuinely respects the hospitality, the Seer's failure to talk straight is getting on his nerves really fast. So yeah, he's playing stupid to some extent, but either the Seer is as well and Lazerus is under no obligation to blink first, or the she isn't and as such will never be any wiser about it.
Hope that helps.
Sylith:
Oh my, what's so not-straight in her last answer that makes it impossible to understand? She's not speaking in riddles, really.
Anyway, I think I got what you mean (no matter how wrong the way you think feels), but this still looks for me like "I like potatoes" - with the same connection to her last words. And makes me wonder how she should react... with no other idea than "he's gone mad, poor fella, talking with no sense and stuff".
