Mind reading: 1D20+8 = [1]+8 = 9 1s aren't automatic failures. But he'll probably make that will save.

Yes. Subtle 2 prevents anyone from knowing who used the effect, but it would take Insidious to prevent the target from noticing the effect. A silenced firearm may not be heard, but I think the person being shot would notice! :D

I thought insidious only applied after success. If the attack doesn't land, no one notices the subtle bullet that didn't hit them.

Sorry, I'd replied in my head. Happens more often than I'd care to admit.

Well, my intent was to try to tease details out by guiding the conversation, but Investigate: 1D20+4 = [5]+4 = 9 isn't great.

Fair enough. It's not gonna make any difference anyway.

In 2e, that'd be a Gather Information check. Investigate is pretty much purely forensic, not social. Also, because of Seven your minimum roll is 8.

Oh, well, with an 8, that's 26 on Gather Information. :-)

He would if I was rolling for his glorified Bystander self. But I am not. So, between that and

that, you both recognize some of the movies Jorge named as horror movies. Some indie, some mainstream. The monsters are uniformly gruesome and horrifying, but fictional. Probably. You'd need a KN: Theo/Philo check to be sure. The artists are horror artists like HR Giger and Junji Ito. Again, some indie, some mainstream. The musicians are standout members of various metal subgenres. They're all pretty indie, but you've heard the names if not their music before.

This worked just fine, as you can read, but

13 :D
With those roles you only recognize a few of the mainstream horror movies and like, maybe Giger out of all the artists. The musicians escape you entirely.

“When did we think she was missing? For me, when I came home this morning and she was not in her bed.
Who hires a detective the day they think their child is missing? Did I miss a memo? Was there a police report in the info packet?

Zany couple of days. I'll get to this tonight if I'm not too tired.
