But that wasn't how it was meant. He just returned to the topic from before (""If you want to find veterans, you'll have to head downriver.") and Nabih gave Harbul a rather deliberate cue to speak up and explain why she's part of the list.

[Tack]

Well then I, and by extension my NPC misread it. Sorry.
But due to said empathy check I guess your character knows he misread it, so clarification is up to Nabih. It'd be pretty easy to get the bonus back.

I've also cut the Empathy check text a bit so that doesn't contain as much rebukey faff.

[Tack]

... Well this was fun.

[Rolepgeek]

?

[SOLDIER First]

we must posttt

[Caellath]

Weekends are nearly always trouble for me, sorry if I never made it clear.

[Tack]

Oh yeah. I actually completely forgot it was a weekend. Ended up having to work through.

[TheBiggerFish]

It's a weekend?

[Rolepgeek]

Urgh....

Sorry, I'm still playing, I've just been...lots of stuff, only so much free time. Sorry. :/ I'll try, mind you.

Sidenote: I really like the way you're having Harbul describe her now. It's false, but in the best way possible for how I wanted my character to come across.

[Tack]

I haven't actually done any rolls or anything to figure what certain peoples' reputations are, so I went with "Harbul knows her + as a PC she way outskills most of the city = respect and a little fear."

[Caellath]

In the interest of moving things forward, we should probably call it bed time soon.

Edit: By the way, I gave up on clumsy barrack plans and decided for the cheap lodging option. That way I can put more coin in raw materials/equipment instead.

[GiglameshDespair]

That seems sensible, if we can't afford a proper base of operations at the moment.

[Caellath]

Yeah, it'd eat through my cash for little immediate gain.

And the next time, could I try to use Contacts and my Stunt to find people directly, since it's about knowing the right people? It's probably what I'll do the next day.

[Tack]

Yeah absolutely.
Using a go-between like this guy makes a lot of sense thematically, but rules wise there isn't actually anything which says you cannot walk into a random city and roll contacts to find people to hire.

Although I did give this guy some bonuses because he's a resident of the area, so he didn't have to roll for a lot of things you would.

[Caellath]

Yeah, I did it mostly because Nabih is a newcomer and would probably seek some help to quickly establish a good base, but from now on I can operate on "save cash" mode.
