Mac, hopefully this will answer your question--YES, you can always roll dice.  No matter what you're doing, you are moving the scene forward.<em>The dice in Wushu do not measure success</em>.  They are a timing mechanism.<br/><br/>Which is one thing I should point out--you guys are doing great, but there's one tiny problem with lots of long posts!  You still only get to roll the die cap, so a megafilibuster is not necessarily the best go-to solution!  Because until someone gets that last success, the scene will continue.  No point in wearing yourself out or running out of inspiration.  Something to keep in mind for later!<br/><br/>Believe me, if this were face to face, you'd want to stick to giving me single paras, not multiple paras.  ;D
