Numbers as said aloud. A roll is a success if any die is 7+, a critical success with a 10, a failure if all dice are 6 or below, and a failure with a 1 is a critical failure in the system; Gabe calls none this episode, so "dice would be a critical failure, not called" marks those. No DCs are stated. Natural 10s (as said): Terry 7 · Seven 4 · Megan 1 (not counting the garbled 00:20:22) · Tuti 1. Natural 1s (as said): Terry 5 · Seven 5 · Tuti 7 · Megan 2 (not counting 00:20:22). Critical failures called by Gabe: none. Called by a player (Lily): Tuti 00:13:52, Terry 01:56:34.
