A Fallen Angel

[Xath]

Xath has been standing, shadowed in the corner. She holds a notepad and occasionally jots something down.

Sense Motive #1: 13 (Dice) + 19 (Mod) = 32
Sense Motive #2: 6 (Dice) + 19 (Mod) = 25
Sense Motive #3: 17 (Dice) + 19 (Mod) = 36

 

[Xath]

"My master can take the North whenever he wishes! Aregonn Bluestar will be crushed beneath his boot heel!"

At this, looks at Arrissa; arches one eyebrow; shares a meaningful glance with L'Aurel; and frantically scribbles for a few moments on the pad. When finished, she eyes her notes and nods, as though satisfied.

Bluff: 32 (Mod) + 13 = 45
Intimidate: 14 (Mod) + Nat 20 (Dice) = 44

(Not an active "grrrrr" intimidate; just something to keep her on edge)

((This is why I like having us all there L'Aurel will be assisting from now on when applicable))

Xath - "My master can take the North whenever he wishes! Aregonn Bluestar will be crushed beneath his boot heel!" <------That's definitely a deception of some sort - she's trying to get you to interpret events in a certain way that's not the truth; she's lying with her tone, if not her words. In the previosu two Sense Motives, you agree with L'Aurel - you struck a nerve, and she's trying to cover up - poorly, as well.

L'Aurel - She seems to be hiding some connection between her still unnamed Master, and the Bluestar.

 

[Xath]

Xath half-smirks. The expression on her face shows that she sees right through Arissa's deception.

Repeating the last few lines of convo so I don't get lost

"My master can take the North whenever he wishes! Aregonn Bluestar will be crushed beneath his boot heel!"

At this, looks at Arrissa; arches one eyebrow; shares a meaningful glance with L'Aurel; and frantically scribbles for a few moments on the pad. When finished, she eyes her notes and nods, as though satisfied. Xath half-smirks. The expression on her face shows that she sees right through Arissa's deception.

"And is Aregonn playing into Mordred's such well laid plans as well?"

L'Aurel is still mocking in tone and manner. ((Is there a roll for I'm trying to piss you off Just kidding.))

 

[The_Universe]

"O-of course! My master...Mordred...will crush the Bluestar for his impudence. He should not have meddled in the affairs of the South!"

((Intimidate or Bluff))

((Sense motive (for the quoted statement): roll- 15 / bonus- 11/ total- 26

Bluff:roll- 17/ bonus- 11/ total= 28

Intimidate:roll- 2/ bonus- 7/ total= 9))

"Poor caged Arissa. Age becoming a problem? Again you fail. You can't lie to us about that which we know."

"Poor caged Arissa. Age becoming a problem? Again you fail. You can't lie to us about that which we know."

You figured out what Xath already has - her attempt to connect the Bluestar and Mordred is entirely fabricated.

((Guess she's doesn't get upset with the continued ha-ha you stupid attitude, and if not....))

Finally dropping the mocking attitude and looking sadly at someone she could have once called family, "So you choose death? A death you will not wake from? A death you where you will not see Mordred rise to power, nor will you gain any of his promised benifits."
