Posting on behalf of argent, welcome to the Roll Thread! In this thread the players will make rolls for any skill check or other roll they are going for outside of combat. This is so a player can write the roll as it happens in the IC thread instead of writing that they're going to do something, then rolling, then what that something made them do. Which is pretty awkward. The player will instead announce a roll and what they're rolling for in the Roll Thread, and the GM (argent) will tell them whether they succeeded or failed and what happened because of the roll. Depending on the situation, the player or the GM will post the result. Remember to mention the modifiers you are applying. The GM might also give you additional modifiers.

Two examples:

CL(Roll Thread): I want to roll General Education to find out what I know about this town.
argent(Roll Thread): Alright, go ahead.
CL(Roll Thread): (1st roll below)
argent(Roll Thread): Okay, you know this this and that.
CL(In Character): I've heard of this place before. This is true, and this is also what I know. Not to mention that.


CL(Roll Thread): I roll Stealth to slip by the guard unnoticed.
argent(Roll Thread): Okay, but you take a -2 penalty because of the guards have already been put on alert once.
CL(Roll Thread): (2nd roll below) -2 because of alert guards.
argent(Roll Thread): Too bad, you fail. He sees you.
argent(In Character): CL tries to slip by the guard, but he hears him. "Hey, what are you doing here!?" he shouts.


Like that. When you make the roll in the Roll Thread, you can have a link in your IC post to the post you made in the Roll Thread for validity.
