She's very good at getting where she isn't supposed to be.

She just walks through walls sometimes, that's all.
Don't sell yourself short, Tim. It was pretty damned insane of you to give up a fairly comfy life in Widdershins and travel all the way across the Atlantic just to go work on a floating puke palace.
How do you make me keep liking all your characters? Seriously, this is a talent of yours. I’m amazed you do so well with the long term switching of protags.
d'aw, thanks :3
Next move? The adventure is almost complete. You know what Pryce is doing and what the ship is for. Just need to find out what phase 2 is.
I roll to disbelieve. Nobody who's uninterested in covert operations shows as much initiative at it as you did, Mr. Conversationalist. You could have let Lei flounder and find out nothing. Instead you dug for yourself. You're having fuuun~
He's also an expert in misdirection. You never know who might be listening to this conversation.
Roll to disbelieve? That's a thing? Accepting the will of the Random Number Gods is all well in good, but letting them usurp your own free will seems to be taking it a bit far. Which of the two 'D's stands for "Determinism"?
It's originally in reference to Dungeons and Dragons illusion spells--your character's theological, etc. beliefs are the player's to decide, but if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, your character will assume that it is a duck unless you roll a Will save to piece together any errors in its presentation.
As Mlmiii says, it means I think this is an illusion.
I was thinking "why swimming, he could just get in one of the"... where are the safety boats ?
Remember current lifeboat rules only go back to the Titanic and the international policies formuated from that disaster. And we are in an alternative history about 70 years earlier. So there are probably lifeboats and ships boats on this vessel but they may not be adaquate to the task of evacuating everyone. And they may not be maintenanced.
Look up the history of SOLAS it is interesting.
Vee: i dont have anything to contribute to this conversation but i do need everyone to be aware im here now!!
I mean, she did contribute to the conversation.
I've had this growing suspicion for years now that only one who could possibly handle Vee would be Nana Barber and she's not here. Good luck, Tim!
Verity's pose is the ultimate in languidness. I wish I could be that relaxed - ideally not in other people's rooms, though.
simplest way is mentally see everywhere as your home
"...into my room, anyway!?"
"Adventuring stuff."
"I have no interest in this adventuring stuff" is exactly the sort of thing you say in order to get involved in adventuring stuff
The Call knows where you live, and more importantly, the Call knows you're stuck on this damn boat.
The sofa looks to be unoccupied in panel 2, and I'm loving the image of Vee slipping in at some point in the next two panels and draping herself on it as if she's been there for hours!
I got here the same way everyone seems to get around these days, confidence.
"You have no interest in this adventuring stuff, eh?
Good to know that."
[GM rolls to avoid adventuring stuff] Nat 1.
[rolls to confirm critical failure] Nat 1
[nods to themself]
"You feel a vast rush of relief as your realize that you are fated to avoid all this adventuring stuff."
"Roll for initiative"
Come on Tim, they need a plucky assistant... I mean sidekick~
Sidekick schmidekick. He's the grifter/roper.
Doris is the... damn, I need a good rationalization for why she got shot by a blowdart if I want her to be the martial artist.
snrk Sorry, Tim, you're involved.
Vee is like a cat, there's no stopping her from going where she pleases!
She is an expert bounty hunter. Also, lockpicks.
Evidently, somebody here is the ultimate confidence, man.
It's called lockpicking.
"Why do I keep meeting these protagonists?"
Where's Doris?
