Yolanda is trying to convince Marty, a good friend who works as a castle guard, to look the other way while she sneaks into the castle. She has Fast Talk=4 and Charisma=3. Because of the conflicting stresses on Marty (help a buddy vs. do your job well), the GM assesses no bonus or penalty levels to her roll. Yolanda rolls 7 dice (4 for Fast Talk + 3 bonus dice for Charisma). She gets 3 Ss, so Yolanda has very little difficulty convincing Marty to help her out.
