Faking a Lore roll (3 minus 2 is 1 die, versus 1 die) for Linwood...<br/>Linwood scores a 9.<br/>The difficulty gets a 3.<br/><br/>Linwood, me ol' soup tureen, it is painfully obvious that your new tome is<em>of the Dreaming</em>.  Further questions here in the Waking World will almost certainly impose a Humanity check for crossing the streams (if you'll forgive the expression).<br/><br/>What Linwood will also know is that this book must be awfully powerful to be able to more or less initiate a contact in the Waking World, which means that it's got some mighty, mighty mojo behind it, since 'demons' can't initiate a Contact rite unless they've been explicitly instructed to do something along those lines.<br/><br/>The good news is that Linwood gets a bonus die on any action following up on this matter...  (And I'm giving him one 'free' Humanity check since I more or less sprung this one on him.)
