So the party just entered a town where a wealthy businessman, let's call him G, has approached the party about taking out a local den of criminals. G didn't offer them any gold as he's fairly certain they'll find all the gold they want inside the criminal's den, and he told them as much. G *does* offer them a token which they can show to merchants throughout the realm which will allow them access to goods not generally available to the public (eg magic weapons and items). Basically he's offering them connections instead of gold.
The party scoffed at the lack of gold for the reward, so G additionally offered them 100 gp up front, with another 900 more if they don't find anything of greater value in the den. So naturally, they plan to invade the den, grab all the gold, and then tell G they found nothing. Now G would find this extremely difficult to believe, so my inclination is to have him have a Bard on hand to cast Zone of Truth on them, and (assuming some fail the save and tell him the truth) refuse to give them anything.
My thinking is that he's rich, well-connected, and fairly dilligent. He would at least have thought of the possibility of the party lying to him, and come up with a contingency plan. However, part of me feels like this is railroading. Sure, the party can cross a powerful businessman, but actions have consequences. Then again, if they can find a creative way to not tell the truth within the bounds of the spell, I don't want to punish them for it.
Thoughts?
Since 63.89% of right-wingers voted for wanting a new right-wing party the People's Action Party was created. This Party will be Right-Wing to Far-Right. The accepted ideologies in this parties will be Authoritarian Capitalism, Authoritarian Conservatism, National Conservatism and Neo-Conservatism, maybe we will accept more ideologies. We accept people from Auth-Right quadrant and some exceptions from Right-Center and maybe Auth-Center (altough you will have to be a capitalist). The Party's leader will be me and it's co-leader will be u/ThatCuteRaccon. Also AMA

I'm looking for an Action RPG that involves a team of characters like many traditional RPGs or jRPGs, but seemingly rare in the aRPG world. I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Star Ocean games or Kingdom Hearts I & II (only KH games I've played). I enjoyed The Witcher III and Cyberpunk 2077, despite the bugs , but don't always enjoy their solo combat. A helpful redditer suggested 'Tales of Arise' , which honestly looks like a good fit. In case that helps with the types of game(s) I'm looking for.
My time is limited these days.... working odd hours and different jobs. So I'm looking for a fun/innovative combat system. The thought of mindlessly grinding to level up, or even just bland/repetitive combat, horrifies me at the moment. My life is a grind, I don't need my entertainment to be a grind, too.
I'd really like something with an engaging storyline as well. I could use some escapism in my life.
Bonus points if the game is available on the Switch.

Hey! I like RPG in modern day settings, but I know nothing about police and how policemen work, so I always have to improvise when some player do something illegal and I have to say what the police will do about it.
I'm not talking about the "immediate response of the policeman" (like when a character slaps a cop), but rather something about the mid/long term reaction of the police.
For example: during a session, a character beat up a person and I want to show that, if they do something like that, they'll be wanted for aggression. How long will it take for the cops to find them? And, once they get them, what will they do? I mean... I don't think they're going to arrest them out of nowhere...
So, you see, I need to have a quick, short handbook for these kind of situations, without having to get a degree in law
Can only find two examples I can find at a glance, but if there are more then the answers to these will let me know how to handle other ones.
Screen an ally asks for a combat skill check opposing the enemy's Str or Dex based skill check, and if that skill is 0 then they can't. Could an npc use this action at all, and if so would the "combat skill" number for the attacks per round that can be screened be based on its attack bonus or its listed skill bonus? What if it's not something the npc would be good at, so they don't get to add their skill bonus, would that effectively mean they can't since that would leave them with a +0 skill?
It also mentions that the enemy's skill check is dex or str based, but npc's don't have attribute scores to my knowledge, how does that work? Would you count their total attack bonus and just assume that's their str/dex + combat skill? Or only use their +1 skill bonus and assume they have a 0 str/dex modifier?
The other example is Shatter a Shield, needing a Str/Stab skill check. Mostly the same as the above one, so using this as a chance to throw out some easy numbers for an example, if the npc trying to do this has a +3 attack and +1 skill, would you assume that the +3 is Str/Stab, or would you count them as 0 str because npc's don't have listed attributes and have it be only that +1 skill, or if Stab 1 doesn't fit the npc then would you count them as no effective skill (0) or what?
It doesn't seem like a particularly hard question, and I'm sure as long as we're consistent then whatever answer is fine, but I want to know how others would handle this.

A quick glance at the Coronavirus Act tells me all of the new offences it created are summary only. Does this mean, if the reports are true, Bozza is in the clear over his fabled Christmas bash?
