We tie on 2 specialty die each, so we re-roll. WT - Initiative Reroll: 7d6k5-1 18You gain +1B from your Status roll. I'm presuming PA is 'Passive Awareness', so I get 2 DoS, meaning +2 to my ID in the Intrigue, raising it to 16. Did you add +2 to your ID from chivalry? Also, I can't see your composure? Don't forget that gets the same bonus. Might as well do first round actions, if they wouldn't be affected by the opponent's action. For purely narrative reasons, I'm doing this: I want you to be the one to strike the first blow. Oh, and your Read Target fails.

WT - R2 - Fast Talk - Deception (Act) - TN13: 6d6k4+2 21 2 DoS I recover 2 Composure (no effect, as I haven't lost any yet), and you lose your Cunning bonus to your ID for my next Influence action. (Which I presume lowers it to 9.)
"I thank you for your kind offer, Ser, but I am lacking shade more than I am hydration." She glances over at the copse before looking back into his eyes, using the natural instinct to follow someone else's gaze to slip slightly to one side, and slip her arm through his. "If you are concerned, I can assure you, there is not a dangerous monster in there, wild and ferocious, and able to swallow a man whole." Her tone is light and teasing. "Not yet, anyway." She adds with a smile, quietly, just loud enough for him to hear.

[While it doesn't make a difference with your roll, don't forget you get your +2 Chivalry bonus to Influence tests as well.] 1 DoS presumably means 3 Influence - 3 DR = 0 Composure damage The 2 rounds' Manipulate is now over, you may now switch back to Charm for 'free'. But, according to the rules as written, note that you do not *have* to, nor are you automatically switched back. Not saying you *should*, but it is entirely possible, as I read it, for you to stick with Seduction for now, then switch back for free whenever you want. Anyway, now you've drawn 'first blood' (narratively speaking), it's time to unleash the sexy, shoeless goddess of lust! WT - R3 - Persuasion (Seduction) - TN9: 6d6k4+1 15 2 DoS. Dice don't like me, either. 2*4 = 8 Influence - 4DR = 4 Composure damage *Ahem*. Clearly not so sexy with shoes on.

Having made a subtle move in response to his, Laena tries to judge his response, to see if his reluctance is 'hesitation', or if it is 'genuinely doesn't want this, but too intimidated to straight-up deny a great bastard', remembering Malyk's words earlier about not making advances where they are genuinely not welcome. WT - R4 - Read Target - Awareness (Empathy): 5d6k4 19 Pretty sure that's a success for +1D ID: 16 (14 once Read) Composure: 12/12 DR: 3

ID: 12 PA: 13 Objective: We’re just good friends Action: {P1} WT: - Persuade(Charm): 5d6k3+2 12 Whole lot of nothing. DR: (Indifferent) Composure: 7/11
Parmen found himself in a familiar position: a battle between his self control and his lust. Although he had started with the best of intentions the better angels of his nature were rapidly yielding before an opponent they could not overcome.

Okay. It's all over bar the moaning at this point, so I'm rolling out the next 3 rounds in 1 go, to speed things up. WT - R5-7 - Persuasion (Seduction) +1D +1 - TN12: 3#7d6k5+1 21 23 19 2 DoS, 3 DoS, 2 DoS 4 Composure damage (taking you to 3) 8 Composure damage (taking you to -5) You may take 2 points of Frustration to take (2 * Will = 6) less damage, leaving you on 1 point of composure, but lowering your ID by (2 * 2 =) 4 points, to 8. Because of your newly-lowered ID, the third roll is now 3 DoS 8 Composure damage (taking you to -7, beyond what you can withstand with Frustration) And there you have it. Probably-flawless victory, though you can roll your last two turn's actions as well. Technically, you'd have to offer the yield as part of your turn, but as we'd agreed to terms before the Intrigue even started, that's not really necessary in this case. Be aware that in most cases, what you can get in a yield is proportional to how much Composure damage you're able to do. Unless you were willing to Quit on me, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to reject your yield, and push on to get everything and give nothing. But I won't, because I'm nice like that. Hopefully, between the explanations here and our PMs, the Intrigue system now makes a bit more sense.

Thanks for taking the time. Congrats on your victory. Oh the hardship for poor Parmen! Very much appreciate you walking me through the Intrigue system, both here and in the PMs. I still maintain that it makes the combat system look simple in comparison but at least now I understand at least the broad strokes. Endgame: Switching to Seduction technique to reflect RP Parmen's rapidly failing self-control. [P1]WT:Endgame: Persuasion(Seduction): 3#5d6k3+2 16 8 18That second roll is...impressive. Glad it didn't happen in an event I wanted to win. Yield Conditions: as discussed in PM. +1 Disposition (permanent). Parmen yields to the wanton advances of the sexy, shoeless (clothes-less?) goddess of lust.
Let the moaning commence!

While it doesn't make a difference here, be aware that under most circumstances, changing technique in the middle of an Intrigue gives you -1D to your next influence roll (just the next one, though. After that, no penalty), and allows me to recover [Will] Composure (not relevant in this case, as I haven't lost any). In this case, that means your 16 would suffer a -1D penalty (taking it to 13), but your 8 and 18 wouldn't be penalised. The only exception to this rule is Manipulate. When it takes effect, you don't take the penalty, and when the effect wears off, you may change back to your original technique (but not any other technique) without penalty. Any other time (unless I'm forgetting something), you take that penalty. Note also that you *may* switch back early after being hit with Manipulate, but you take the penalty, which waiting avoids. Clear as mud? Cool.

Thanks! I thought I remembered something along those lines but I could not immediately find in the Corebook and figured that I was misremembering.
Not that it matters but as I understand the rule when I switched back to Charm in my previous turn I did take a -1D because I was reverting back to the original technique from before I was Manipulated. So that roll was correct?

Firstly, I just noticed something: because you are attractive, and I am Lascivious, you should have gained +1D to all your Seduction rolls (you remembered on your manipulated roll, but forgot in your last three). Not that it makes a difference to what you can accomplish, but worth remembering.
You switched back to Charm *after* my manipulate had worn off, so that falls under the exception I mentioned - you do not take the -1D penalty, I do not gain [Will] Composure.
