[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9268452, member: 1282"] Okay, with this in mind, we shall put the attempt to [I][B]Assuage Gae'al's Burden[/B][/I] on hold for a time, returning to this: [I][B]CHANVATI[/B] considers Naaphid's words and carefully considers his own before responding. In times past, the Dragonborn Inquisitors were steadfast in their unquestioned loyalty to the Emperor or Empress. When an Inquisition was mobilized, one could be sure it was the will of the Imperial Throne in action. In recent years, however, there have been rumblings that the Inquisitors have developed agendas of their own, and that they have exploited a perceived weakness in the current Empress, still gaining her majority, in enacting those plans. Such rumors leaked from the staterooms of the Palace--Bita-Bousseh has born witness of such--and circulated among the merchants, the artisans, even the commoners of Bantouk, spurred on by their ill treatment under this Inquisition or that. Does Naaphid, in his eagerness to appear among the Movers and Shakers of Bantoukian politics, reveal too much of his own, and his faction's, designs in the current agitation and worry that besets the citizenry? Undoubtedly so. He is a grafter, looking to exploit the Legion's profiteering for his own. "Legate Naaphid," Chanvati observes the formalities despite the venue, "do I have it aright that Her Imperial Majesty's Inquisitors favor taxation of her citizenry on the bahalf of the current occupiers?"[/I] [HR][/HR] Chanvati makes a Primary Skill Insight check to read Naaphid's motives here. We're trying to establish that (1) the general discontent at the occupation by Bantouk's citizenry is being exacerbated by disloyalty and graft among her own servants and (2) subsequently (and beyond the action of this Skill Challenge in all likelihood), if the Empress does not begin to assume responsibilities directly, her servants will thus further undermine her power. r7+17=24 vs 20 Moderate DC. Success. [/QUOTE]
