Imelda has Quick=6 and Alertness=4. She is sleeping in the woods one night when a troll attempts to stealthily approach, with the idea of making Imelda into a quick lunch. The troll has Stealth=6. It manages 4 Ss on its Stealth roll, so Imelda needs at least 5 Ss (TN=4) to see or hear the troll. Imelda rolls 10 dice (6 for Quick + 4 bonus dice for Alertness), and achieves 5 Ss. She is aware of the troll, but it is up to the GM to decide which of her senses registered the approaching foe.
