Example: Madeline has Quick=5 and Acute Hearing=4. An assassin is attempting to sneak up to her camp. All members of the group get a Quick roll (TN=4) to hear him. The assassin&#8217;s has Stealth=8, and he gets 5 Ss on his Stealth roll. For anyone to notice his approach, they must achieve more than 5 Ss. Madeline rolls 9 dice (5 for Quick + 4 bonus dice for Acute Hearing), and gets 6 Ss. While the other group members are oblivious to the threat, Madeline hears the assassin and alerts the group.
