In LRT, has anyone run across the situation where a player wants to pretend to drink with the giant but dosen't actually do it?
Illustration: Holding a wineskin to your lips and making swallowing motions.

If so, how did you handle it?
This was something I thought of while reading the material ( I haven't had the opportunity to get our youth together yet) and wondered if this angle had been attempted.
My thoughts on the attempt would be to allow the player to try,  with a dice roll to see if they resist the temptation to take just a teeny tiny sip....
If they specify that they are keeping their lips shut, the temptation roll could be with a bonus of +1 or+2  or +3 to the roll they would have normally made if they actually decided to drink with the giant.
Waddaya think?
