## [1] "No"

Why is he pursuing this woman?

roll_table(gme_actions_table)

Scene Development

We first check if the scene is altered or interrupted rolling a 1d10 and comparing it against the Chaos Factor.

set.seed(seed_counter)
roll(1, 10)

## [1] 3

As it´s lower and odd, the scene is altered: the tavern is empty. Does it look abandoned?

roll_table(gme_fate_check)

## [1] "Random Event and Exceptional No"

There are still drinks and food in plates in most of the tables, but there is not a soul to be found.

roll_table(gme_event_check)

## [1] "PC Positive"

roll_table(gme_description_table)

## [1] "Calmly Ugly"

The witch seems to have just passed around the city and people were actually hiding! Once the tavern door opens and people see that it´s a foreigner, they sigh, relaxed, and go to meet him. Norvos tries to befriend them to get them to talk about the witch.

Charisma check

set.seed(seed_counter)
roll(1,20)

## [1] 17

To generate what the people know about the witch, I will roll a detail check

roll_table(gme_detail_check)

## [1] "Favors NPC"

They respect her! She is the village protector. She's made a deal with them, in which they don't bother her and she protects the village from intruders and wild animals.

Now Norvos has two options: either he declares openly he wants to know where she lives or he tries to get a room for the night and he will explore during the next day, safely knowing that the witch lives around the village. What will he do (1-5: ask for the witch, 6-10: get a room for the night)?

set.seed(seed_counter)
roll(1,10)

## [1] 9

He will get a room!

He pays for a room for three days, hoping to finish this whole ordeal in less than that.

Scene finished! Chaos Factor goes down to 4
