>Can you explein these dice rolls? What are they for?

This is my encounter rolls triggered by the passing of every hour at night that you're exposed. You're on a main road so only a natural 1 will spawn an encounter, There's a lookup table for possible encounters in this particular area on this particular road, the closer to 1, the more serious. Given 8 here there are 4 outcomes currently, I can tell you 4 is the only non-agressively hostile one. Then the last (3) is the number of this particular group.

I got a little excited that you rolled an 8 but then mixed with a 4 was your own good luck. Obviously getting into battle at this point would be messy.

>why is there a roll for Ashley's Deception but not for Yulya's Persuasion?

What Yulya said were the facts, there was no attempt at persuasion that I could tell.

A subtle difference with Ashley's "facts" was that she said you all didn't see anyone which has a greater implication that you had nothing to do with it what might have occurred. That might have been ok. But saying "they could be hiding" is a clear lie, you know they're not "hiding". A better choice of words on her part wouldn't have needed a check, but once she said it I didn't let her take it back.
