Okay, seems to be a bit of confusion when it comes to what to send me. So gonna give everyone an example from what Mnkee sent me for the first round to show how this works....

[quote=Mnkee]Thalken, on the other hand, is close enough that he would hear the commotion with Millicent and react. I figure since he already has a throwing knife in his hand his first course of action would be to throw that knife at the Ryne, before unsheathing his sword. So, can my first roll be to figure out if his knife throw hits the Ryne or not and whatever chain of events that causes? [/quote]

Okay, that was what Mnkee sent me for round one. Now the sword couldn't be drawn because that would be a second action but I made rolls for the first.... So here were the results....

[quote=Lady Amalthea]Yeah, I have it in the IC that he walks out to the balcony just as the Ryne screams. 

Alright, action declared... ~smirks considering Ryne is wrestling with Millicent right now~ Oh this should be interesting...
(1 equal auto death or fail, 20 equal perfect outcome sent by god)
The rolls - 

Roll to see if he is fast enough once he steps out there to throw - (15) He is
Roll to see if people running away stumble into him as he throws - He manages to avoid them (12)
Roll to see how steady the knife throw is - It is pretty good throw (16)
Roll to see if he hits anyone running between the Ryne and himself - He's good, knife continues on path, managing not to hit the numerous people running around frantically (17)
Roll to see if it hits the Ryne or in the tussle, hits Millicent - It hits Millicent and completely avoids Catherine! (3)
Roll to see where it hits Millicent - Thankfully it just catches her in the soft flesh of her thigh, it goes in but falls out in the struggle without cutting a major artery (17)
Roll to see if Catherine turns her attack on Thalken or keeps with Millicent - (1-10 Thalken, 11-20 Milli) - She stops and turns, baring her teeth at Thalken (8)

Now to see what happens with Catherine - 

Roll to see how close Catherine can get to Thalken once the knife hits Millicent - Not very far, Millicent manages to drive the sword further into Catherines chest but it only her upper chest near the shoulder. Catherine falls back as the blade comes with her and out of Millicents hands. (2)

So, that is how it works. You give me a single action and I make the rolls. Getting through a crowd would a roll, drawing a weapon is an action, using a single skill against a single opponent is an action. All require multiple rolls to see not only if it succeeds but how and the consequences, as well as the reactions from those around you. 

Now Thalken was the only character close enough with a weapon ready to start a fight - So everyone needs to be pming me that single action to start getting into position. The rolls will determine if you even get a single step forward. Take this into consideration. Remember 1 action. (ANd actions are short, think what you can do in 1 second to start, the rolls determine just how far things go.)
