They may ask clarifying questions and discuss a plan of action amongst themselves before doing so.The GM will judge if the action is risky, successful, or impossible. If they feel it is viable but dangerous, they will call for a Gambit to find out what happens, otherwise, it succeeds or is impossible to attempt.
