Hi all, please tell me I'm missing something obvious here. Given:

Instead of waiting:
try the first stored action;
try the second stored action.

..I would like to do something generic (i.e., not tied to what the
action actually is) when either or both of these fail. The last one
is easy -- an Every Turn rule can capture it regardless whether it
succeeds or fails. And I can capture the first one's success with an
After rule. But how do I capture the first one's failure? The After
rules won't run since it failed, the Every Turn won't run in-between
the Tries, Unsuccessful Attempt By won't run for anything not an NPC
request, and the Check and/or Instead rules are the ones deciding the
failure to begin with, and *they* are called from different rulebooks
themselves.

Where do failed actions go after an Instead or Check rule plonks
them?

Nevermind. I found it.

Instead of waiting:
try the first stored action;

if the rule failed, say "FAILED.";
if the rule succeeded, say "SUCCEEDED.";


try the second stored action.

if the rule failed, say "FAILED.";
if the rule succeeded, say "SUCCEEDED.";


Duh.
