This is deliberate, in two respects.<br/><br/>First, locally speaking, you have the initiative; the gang don't seem to know you're here (or if they do, they don't seem to consider you [INSERT VARIABLE HERE] enough to make an appearance). The shop staff (aside from the daughter) know you're a bunch of weirdos but well within the bounds of their clientele (given the nature of the town, they get all sorts of weirdos in here. Also, they keep whiffing their Insight/Perception tests).<br/><br/>This means that right now you<em>have the initiative</em>; you are the instigator of events, which the NPCs react to, instead of the other way around. That means the application of force/persuasion/investigation/sexy is largely in your hands. For the moment, anyway. :P<br/><br/>Second, more broadly speaking, I enjoy it when players take initiative and seize their fate with their own hands! I'll ask for a check if it seems important, otherwise I'm more than happy to let you take an active role in deciding what you're rolling on and what you're not.
