Edmund's eyes then dart towards a stranger, his expression hardening. "Enough!" he barks in Helsink's direction, his voice sharp with misdirected anger. "If you have time for accusations, you have time to assist with the evacuation. This is no time for finger-pointing; it's time for action."

 

OOC: This feels like a perfect opportunity for our first contest.

Edmund is trying to get Aldert to cease point and placing blame on Alicia and assist with the evacuation, calling him out in front of everyone. Aldert wants to cast aspersions and won't be easily swayed.

You could build a dice pool (the most relevant Relationship + the most relevant Value + 1 Distinction, Ability, or Resource you can convincingly apply to the situation, if any) and roll to set the challenge. You would roll all the dice in your pool, then add the 2 highest results for your total (unless they're 1's, you can't add 1's to the total).

Aldert could give in (not likely), or roll. He would need to beat your total to volley the contest back to you. If he does, you roll again trying to beat his total. If he does not, he takes stress.
