Party safewords are 'RED', ‘YELLOW’ and 'SAFEWORD' ­ "Yellow" is an indication that the play is approaching the bottom's limits. "Red" means there is a problem and play needs to cease, at least temporarily. Tops will be allowed a reasonable chance to respond to “red” before a DM intervenes. Use of the word "safeword" means that immediate outside assistance is needed, and the DM will intervene immediately.
