[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9265662, member: 1282"] [I]The Psion has been through such incidents many times in recent weeks, ever since the Legion of Ruth took occupation in Bantouk: the Bladelings, creatures of war as much by nature as culture, their hearts kicking and bucking in their chests like wild horses roped by elven horsebreakers, penned up as they are in the city with too few opportunities to act upon their drives as they are used to doing. As so many times before, [B]CHANVATI [/B]must intercede with both mind and words to cool the situation. As Gormandt grabs the railing, Chanvati projects his mind into the behemoth of a Bladeling, and into the minds of the three soldiers here with him in the stands. Subtly, he slows the enflamed endocrine response of the mutants, dulling passions, retarding heartbeats. When a modicum of docility is achieved, he opens his eyes and speaks. "Fierce warriors of the Legion! I applaud you! We all applaud you! "What you have done here today is a great service to the citizenry of Bantouk. This father and his boy have learned of courage and sound judgment, reward and ever-present threat. What's more, they will carry forth with them the tale of Great Gormandt and his fearsome steed beyond to the wider populace. Thrill-seekers will flock to the Congress of Savagery in hope that the boundary between spectator and violent display will dissolve momentarily as it nearly did just now. The fans you so rightly disdain for their commerce and conspicuous consumption will be replaced by adoring masses eager to bask in brushes with the brutality of the Tyrant Gormandt and his Gruesome Steed, Grimtail. The benefit you will reap is not wealth, nor even mere fame. You will be worshipped, and your stories will be told for generations! Come, now. Put aside your grievances for the time being. Save your true efforts for building a legacy to last all time!"[/I] [HR][/HR] Chanvati makes a Secondary Skill Arcana check to psionically cool the emotions of the Bladelings long enough to listen to his appeal. His +16 is an autosuccess against the Easy 14 DC for a +2 bonus to his Primary Skill Diplomacy check, r16+16+2=34 vs 20 Moderate DC. Success. I think Chanvati just invented the WWE? Jeez, this guy. First representative democracy and separation of church & state. Now this! What's next?!? The Googles?!? [/QUOTE]
