More than one hero in the same journey role?

[Elroval]

Hi everyone, I've recently started running Tales from Wilderland as a PbF over on RPGGeek, and I have a question about journey roles, which I thought I'd ask here.

It says in the rules that more than one hero can be assigned to a journey role (with the exception of Guide).
I'm interested to know how people resolve hazards in this case. If you have two lookouts for example, and it's the lookout who needs to resolve the hazard on a failed Fatigue test, then do both lookouts roll? Or do you pick one? If its both, then it's twice as likely a hazard will be triggered, which seems unrealistic. If it's only one, then why have two lookouts in the first place?

Perhaps I've missed something, but it doesn't seem clear when reading through the rules about this.

Is anyone able to shed some light on this?

Thanks in Advance.

That's the part where you got it wrong.

When companions roll for Fatigue (and it is then when they can trigger a Hazard by rolling an Eye), they do so without taking into account their role in the Journey. You just count how many Eyes were rolled during the Fatigue tests.

Afterwards, you roll for every Hazard to see what role it affects (p160 of the Revised Book). If it affects a role where two (or more) companions are, both can roll to avoid the Hazard and only one needs to succeed.

Ah, yes of course, that makes sense.

Thanks Falenthal, for clearing that up. Much appreciated.

The rules used to be that whoever rolled the Eye got the Hazard. Now when a Hazard is triggered you make another roll to figure out which travel role it is. So the Scout might roll the Eye, and the Huntsman gets the Hazard.

...and then you sail West.

No, you rolled on a table to determine which role was responsible for the hazard. The new rules now also specify the type of roll that person needs to make to deal with the hazard.

Well look at that. You are correct. In the first games I played the LM always had the guy who rolled the Eye take the Hazard, so I assumed that was the rule and it was changed in the revised rules. But I just looked it up and that was not RAW.

I'm a bit of a maniacal GM, but I find the idea of the hazard not falling on the members who as not rolled it more fun. It's adding embarrassement
