Behind the Scenes: Day 7 Dice Rolls

The Show-runner

The dice were not kind to Tegan today. For the morning meeting, I gave Tegan a chance to realize that she did not succeed in her stealth training. She had a mixed success.

The bulk of our dice rolls today were for the actual challenge. The general premise: the gang needs to rescue Mona from a vault at a hu-cow ranch overrun with orcs. They don’t know that Mona is the prize.
