"Maybe we roll the bones of fate to decide...instead of the child's play" Tommary says with a wink.
OOC: Gambler background and dice proficient. Also don't know how to rochambeau on the board, so maybe the dice roller if we want to mini game this, let the DM decide if my proficiency gives me an edge.
OOC: We could each send the DM a PM (😂😂) containing our first “throw” of Boulder, Parchment, or Sheers. Then Wysperra could quote them both and copy/paste our messages into a post here to make sure we’re both playing honest.
”Using your dice…? I don’t think so.” She smirks.
OOC: That's quite clever. one, two, three, shoot!
Or in Hawaii, we say Jan, Ken, Po!
Sorry, I missed this followup somehow (is anyone else's board acting a little janky this week? I'm getting notices of thread replies I read a week ago on regular board and I don't think this game is giving me up to date notice).

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I'd say talk to my hand, but the shears say this conversation is over, good luck, old friend."
When Toots enters the cylinder and the spin starts, Tommary is going to try to stall it so it catches Toots in the middle. Tommary will then put his hand to the glass, thumb spread, index and middle finger paired and separate from ring and pinky paired, and whisper "remember, the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few... or the one. I have been ... and always shall be ... your friend" then let the mechanism run its course.

"Yes, there are slots on this side. And my sword is making insulting comments about my family again....so it would probably be a good idea to have a few more of you over here."
“Okay Ely, help has arrived. But if your Aunt’s boyfriend does attack us try to hold him off for 18ish seconds so I can fiddle with this doohickey and we can get the others in here too. ‘Kay?”

Elyona greets Oethe “So far not a peep from the statues; but I’m glad. You’ve joined me.”
OOC: how big Is the area we are in? Also , if Elyona’s back is to the revolving door, one is to her left and one to her right, is that correct? I was envisioning them being opposite the door, but rereading your description I’m thinking they are on the sides, on in front if one is standing with back to the door on this side.

10 feet beyond the statues there is a turn to the left in the hall.
The statues stand with their backs to the wall, facing the center of the hallway. You'd have to walk between them to proceed.

Toots and Tommary tap their fists in their open palms twice then both point two fingers at each other.

There is no stalling the mechanism. Toots is on the same side as Elyona.
