Roll Hide once; compare the same total with each observer

You rolled a Stealth total of 3 while trying to hide from these two observers. The Guide has confirmed that your hiding method can work against both.

1. The Guide confirms a plausible hiding method that can prevent both observers from clearly locating you. Pay normally and resolve one Stealth check; its final total is 3.
2. Observer A is not actively searching, so compare against Observation Readiness 2. Your 3 exceeds 2: you are hidden from A.
3. Observer B is actively searching a relevant place or clues and rolls Observation total 3. Your 3 ties that 3: you fail to hide from B.
4. Write down the original Stealth total 3 while you remain hidden. Do not roll fresh Stealth for each observer or for a later Search.
5. A later legal Search against the already-hidden character must exceed the stored 3. A Search total of 3 fails for the searcher; a total of 4 finds your position for that observer.

Result: You are hidden from A only. Keep the original total 3 as the target for later searches while hidden.

• Being alert is not itself an active search. Readiness and an active Observation check are different forms of opposition.
• If both sides roll for the same Hide attempt, both commit their full payments before either rolls.
• Hidden is relative to each observer. Finding you reveals your position to that observer, not automatically everyone.
• Failed Hide does not permit seeing through walls. Observers learn only what their senses could reveal; clear perception reveals your position without a roll.
• Normal movement, reveal, targeting and unchanged-evidence restrictions still apply. Three is a check total, not a single die face.
