Artisan/Medicine/Perform/Craft:
Once per session you may make an appropriate skill roll with a base TN of 5. Success earns a 10 pool per rank of applied skill plus 10 per successful raise.
Just to be sure: In case of a successful roll, the character earns, total, (rank in skill + number of raises)*10 pools?
Correct

For the End of Suffering in EE: can a spell of illusion can be used instead of a intimidation roll? Would'nt soft-hearted be triggered on the kill option instead of the fright one?

Thanks!

Soft-Hearted is fully triggered on the kill one including causing penalties for future slots. Soft-Hearted just gives a penalty to Intimidation route, but does not give lasting penalties, since your heart isn't in on following through on threats.

As for Illusions:
I'll allow a successful casting of 'In the Mind's Eye' to give a free raise. It's a little too limited to completely replace the roll.

A successful casting of 'Dust to Dust' (and the opposed Willpower roll) could be used in lieu of the Intimidation roll but does not benefit from raises. The target will be assumed to have a Willpower of 2. It could instead be used to enhance a roll giving two free raises.

Subtle casting is still required in either case to avoid negative repercussions.

Can allies be used to help if it makes sense?

How dangerous is the city in the night slots for non-event threads? Should we expect random ghuls to show up?

Fluff wise there should be the perception of danger. Mechanically only those who take part in the event are endangered.

On the Shortest Nights D2LM Fun and Games, http://tales.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=336, would the Honesty Emphasis be applicable to the Sincerity option on the Boasting roll?
