[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9308883, member: 7044099"] [I]Closing his eyes and stilling his mind, Valak settles in to glean what he can make out of the back and forth. The lyre's sound becomes louder and louder to his senses, and then in a moment of insight he realizes what his mind is trying to tell him: they're using musical terms to obscure the true meaning of their chatter - turning discussions of dark acts into metaphors of crescendo, forte, and pianissimo. With this clue, the constant reference to a "conductor" takes on a more sinister meaning, one who is crescendoing a "fanfare to the Lord." Surely this must be the Veil! Then one of the cultists says something else that catches his attention:[/I] "Come brothers and sisters of the Profane Orchestra, inscribe thine name in blood upon this sheet that the conductor might ensure they part the players from the audience for our upcoming [I]performance[/I] at the ancient concert house." _____________________________________ Primary skill use: Insight. r3 + 16 = 19 vs DC17. [B]SUCCESS. [/B] Goal: discern meaning from the encoded conversation, and obtain the location of the Veil before they can realize any more dark designs. [/QUOTE]
