Not sure if we continue on our own, but I believe all 4 players have rolled initiative

So do we get benefits according to the stance we use (for example extra action for water approach)? And if so, what actions can we take that require no die roll?

Yes. An Intrigue is a normal conflict encounter.

Intrigue Actions are described on pg. 257 of the CRB

Momentum Points are

1 Point - Basic Success
+1 Momentum Point for every 2 successes after that

How does one figure out what "unique actions" are? (pg 257 of the Core Rulebook)

They are a skill check that you think could do something narrative in the situation.

So what do I learn about Kakita Josuke though the power of IAO (Initiative Air Opportunity)?

Also, does Subtle Observer apply to any Courtesy [Air] roll I make in this thread? I'm going to roll assuming it doesn't for now, as to not block the pipeline any longer.

I can see an argument as to why it would apply, for certain.

You notice that they are poised, very collected.

After the Intrigue, let's do a post-mortem in here. I'm more than happy to break things down.

For confirmation:

The base TN of rolls against Kakita Josuke is 2.
If he is in Air stance, it increases by one (so to 3).
However, if we use Courtesy against him, the TN is reduced by one (as per page 257).

So, in practice, all Courtesy rolls in this thread are against TN2 (if he is in Air stance) or TN1 (if he is not).

I thought base TN was 3? Is that not the case?

On round 1 it was because he was in the Air Stance.

Social TNs are 2, just like in combat, the ATN is 2.

I screwed up. It should be 3 base, 4 in Air.

His Vigilance is 3, which is the TN for the Persuade action.

Pleas post your Vigilance in your stat line as well.

Are there attendants present to do general tasks in the background for our training. I am thinking in terms or having an attendant retrieve a record of Kakita Josuke's accomplishments

If you had an Attendant in your kit, I would say you could do this.

Assuming Kakita Josuke is compromised?

Uh? He is a 7/12, and would need to be at 13 or more to be compromised.

EDIT: Actually, he could even be at 6/12 if he used his second action for a Calming Breath.

Cool, just double checking and I am away from the book. I knew half important for something, but I wasn't sure what.
