Montage

Montages are Abilities that you cannot use in an Encounter and they often take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Montages represent a long period of sustained effort, during which time you won't be able to use any other Abilities. The Test for the Montage occurs once you complete the entire hour or so of sustained effort.

Since all Montages happen during Freeplay, the exact amount of time that they take is up to interpretation. If you take steps to speed up whatever process you are about to undertake, then the GM may let the Montage happen in less time.
