To get the obvious one out of the way - The Storm Fleet Sailor Technique is applicable

3 time slots. can we make our own threads? i would assume we get some kind of breaks, even though we're basically this guy's press gang for the day.

Could Subtle Observer (Air) plausibly apply to the Commerce check for selling the cargo and/or the Government check for navigating customs? Either one sounds like it could involve reading and socially adapting to subtle cues from the people with whom you're trying to negotiate.

You can understand the cues that people give off while speaking, and you can read people’s lips and facial expressions to understand what they are saying, even if you cannot hear them.

When performing a check for which you need to spot or use small details of other people nearby (such as a Courtesy [Air] check to reveal an unpleasant truth pleasantly or a Sentiment [Air] check to detect someone else’s weakness- es), you may reroll up to two dice.

I'll allow it!

We'll say for the Government check.

[Kakita Ahiru]

Asking if stuff applies!

First if Doji Diplomat's Speaking In Silence technique applies to Commerce? Not sure if it's Persuading or Influencing someone.

Also don't suppose Well-Connected applies to the Government roll? I'm leaning towards no myself, but just making sure.

1.) It won't apply to the commerce roll. But it will apply to the Government roll.

2.) Actually it will because you are trying to navigate a bureaucracy rife with nepotism and cronyism. You can go full Karen with this one.

[Shinjo Jingyi]

Are there any fish involved?

[Ide Yizhak]

Assuming famously wealthy does not apply, but thought I would ask either way

[Kakita Rin]

I think this may have been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding the answer. If we have a named disadvantage in the event, are we required to choose its approach in order to trigger it? Does it trigger regardless of approach?

[Isawa Natsuko]

For Day 2, because every one is aboard the Winter's Wind from EM-EA, the usual restriction of 1 location per time slot would be lifted.

The Winter's Wind has the following Locations

Upper Deck (Bow)
Upper Deck (Stern)
Lower Deck
Up the rigging

OK..parsing intent here.

1. We can be in any or all of those locations in the same time slot. Which is how it's worded.
2. We can have more than one thread per time slot in each location (which makes more sense to me than having 3 personal threads in EM)
3. Both 1 and 2 for a thready free for all.

You know what?

Yes. In handling the goods on the commerce roll. There is seafood involved

It will apply to the commerce rolk

If you do not choose the approach that is tied to the disadvantage, it does not trigger.

I'll be assessing that statement after session 1

You're all stuck on a boat and I know I impacted some schedule planning. I wanted to give some distinct locations on the ship.

It's 2.

[Ender]

Retracting initial ruling. Someone else with that disad already rolled. Does not trigger

[Ide Yizhak]

And assuming Ide Trader technique which reduces or increases rarity doesn't matter?

[Doji Arami]

May I use Subtle Observer (Air) for the Commerce roll?
