(David Niven! I got the picture:D
i'll make a double roll
One mind roll to recognize him as an entertainer.
And a Occultism roll (by defaulting) to see if she knows about 'The ring'
10 is the difficulty for normal tasks, 20 is tough even for professionals. So I guess the difficulty would be respectively 10 and 20)

(Cool

I hope i'll be lucky for the crucial rolls too)

A feminine voice echoes in the dignified hall.
"Did you lost your way before the closing out?"
The voice pause.
Then, from another part of the room, the voice continues:
My mistake! You belong here more than anyone else, Magician Curio, master of the secret arts.I guess you too got an interest in the 'death mask of the KAMENWAT'?

It’s always a pleasure to run into a fan my dear, but you really didn’t need to go to all this effort to ask for my autograph!

Curio gazes round the room looking for a hint as to where the lady maybe.

OCC:
I think if I was purely playing to win I would have gone for ghost form but I will leave him as is for it’s how I would see him.

I too fear I have just wasted my best roll...I wasted another set of doubles when I did a preview

(Great perception roll. Now i'm supposed to make a stealth roll. Except I don't know how invisibility can affect that roll. I'm not even sure the 'searcher' can do it without a special sense.Anyway, that's just the introduction, an occasion for roleplaying. And my character turned invisible before a real first round... It 'does not count' So we don't need that answer, for now)

OCC:
I think if I was purely playing to win I would have gone for ghost form but I will leave him as is for it’s how I would see him.

(Ghost form isn't flawless but I see what you mean.
You know, that's not a martial art tournament or else. The characters can be so different, so versatiles that we'll never have a fair fight.There's even some case where each opponents won't be able to simply hurt each other. That's why I don't consider super brawl as a simple duel. I prefer to see it as an occasion to play a single roleplaying game scene. Victory or defeat is not the ineluctable finality. In our case getting that mask could be the stake. Even if, in the end, the only goal is to have fun
So...)

"You didn't answer the question you sly little fox" the voice whisper with a hint of irony. (I hope my english won't fail me again!)
Specter appears, hovering a few meters below the ceiling.
She pose as if she where seated cross-legged in an invisible chair and stare at Curio with an half smile.

(If you try a roll to recognize her.You must know she kept a low profile.But she got a little reputation in the 'gangland'.)

With regards to invisibility I tend to treat it like I do in all my games. Visually you can’t be seen, but steps still leave foot prints, you still have a scent, you still make a noise when you walk and if you’re clumsy you can still knock things over. I would say that invisibility would add a dice multiplier to a stealth roll and even if the other person wins they would still be at a disadvantage to hit strike you.

His mind check was really to hear your steps or see something rock slightly as you brush against it as you move to give him a rough idea where you are.

So has she now appeared in the air or have I just got a rough sense of where you are and I can still just hear your voice?

At the end of the day this is a bit of fun and my main objective is to really get a grasp of the rules.

Also you English is excellent.

No no, she appeared (since I describe her posture)

Also you English is excellent.

Thanks In addition to be understandable and to avoid bad spelling , I must be sure to use an expression correctly.That the meaning is exactly what I got in mind.

Dice Roll - Recognise: = 21

If I may quibble a little
You should have rolled a skill linked to crime or police.Probably by defaulting, like I did with my incredibly lucky roll about The Ring.Besides if The Ring he's a true secret society my 'though' success may not be enough.She's not in the public eye as Curio but a 'tough' success with a skill linked to crime will be enough.
Once you settled this you can roleplay accordingly

Curio raises an eyebrow as this mysterious young lady appears and gives a complimentary applause.

A most impressive trick my dear but I am afraid you have me at a disadvantage, to whom do I have the pleasure of addressing.

To any untrained eye there was nothing to see but to Curio the tell tell signs where evident, the concealed malevolence, the slight darkening of the veins, the way she had manifested. Be it willing or not this girl was possessed by some type of spirit or demon. The fact that she hadn’t already tried to kill him meant she was either very confident in her skills or more hopefully that her soul had not yet been consumed.

The fact the she not only knew about The Ring, but was also interested in the death mask was going to make this all very complicated.

(You could have tried to roll by defaulting^^)

"You're still avoiding the subject. But that stubbornness is rather eloquent. If you come between my target you could be hurt badly. It would be unfortunate."
she says with a soft drawl voice without an hint of threat.

"Regarding my name.I only introduce to the one i'm supposed to work for, or the one i'm about to kill...
Which one are you?"
She smiles, and point her gun at the Magician.
(Is he dressed like Mandrake ?)

“Well how rude” he says looking at the gun

“I have now wish to fight with you young lady, but I have been tasked with ensuring that the mask is put into safe hands where it can do no harm. A task I must see to completion so please holster your gun and walk away from this before either of us come to any harm?” he says in a more serious tone.

I just looked at my previous roll reducing my mind to 2 instead of 3 and it was a fail. I didn't think to re-roll.

Yes to mandrake spot on

Still holding Curio in one's sights she asks with a chuckle:
"You pique my curiosity prestidigitator.I didn't do my homework... I though the mask was only precious.Why is it so dangerous?"

Let us just say certain parties could put it to ill use and it would be best for all if it was locked away.

If your interest is purely financial I can recommend some very good Saxon gold in a display down the hall or there was a very nice sceptre around here somewhere?

Hoping to draw her attention to something else.

I though social contest between players were supposed to be a taboo in rpgs^^ How devious!
