Hard luck and high rollers (dice thread)

A roller thread.

I am fine with rolling in game threads (though I'd prefer rolls behind TTs, or under spoilers, or shunted to the bottom of the post in an OOC fieldset). Feel free to roll here or there, in whatever is your preferred PbP workflow.

But some things, like session moves, will need rolls outside of game threads, so this space will be necessary for dice at times.

Rumor about PowerAn order of local wizards are up in arms after a courier turned up floating face down in the Potomac three days ago. Whatever he was supposed to be delivering is missing, presumed stolen.

Makes sense. Putting a Name to a Face here. Roll is +1 unless Lito is Wild (then -1). Night is already marked, so if he is any other faction, Victor would mark it.

Here goes ... falling in deeper?
Dice Put a Name to a Face:
2d6+1sch7 (4, 6)+1 Total = 11

Not sure if the 12 result adds a Forward bonus or not, but perhaps it does so I will ask before I roll in case it is a determining factor.

Dice Let it Out - Andre Hunting from Above (Bridge Beams) +1 Spirit:
2d6+1sh10 (1, 6)+1 Total = 8

Taking Let it Out Bonus: +1 Forward

Dice roller error:
[dice=Unleash on the suits > culling the weakest first (Blood 2)+1 Forward]2d6+3sh10[/dice] is a badly formed tag (please see the FAQ for help)
