CHANVATI looks on with horror as Hakhaman seemingly wields some corrupting influence over the Procession and divination. He doesn’t need the sputtering outrage of Ibhea beside him to recognize that some ill ritual is at work. Without pause, Chanvati retrieves the Ritual Scroll of Silent Image...

We're engaging your (1) above. Noticing the laxity of Amna's guards stationed around the periphery of the platform, Chanvati is certain he can exploit their lack of vigilance and sneak the trio past the guards and into the interior of Amna's wing. He unfetters the tendrils of his mind beyond...

Having assessed the petrified trunk for hand- and foot-holds to aid the climb, Pa’avu indicates to her master how they must make the ascent. But she warns him, too, of the thin plume of poisonous spores emanating from the once-living treant. “Here,” Chanvati whispers, as he tears strips of...

Chanvati appears to pale visibly at his bodyguards’ “loss” to the Inquisitor’s forces and the Dragonborn’s direct confrontation. Yet the lingering magic of the ritual belies this: he maintains an exquisite inner equanimity and a thousand rhetorical tacks race through his mind at once...

Our goal for the upcoming challenge is to plant the stolen Scrolls of Xanthar on Tarquin or Amna and have them arrested by a redirected Inquisition. Because the Imperial Standard limits our mobility, puts strain on our business ventures, and threatens Chanvati’s father (and possibly Chanvati...

Once Eyo-urth-shala and her entourage depart the estate, Chanvati wastes no time bringing Bita-Bousseh along to his father to inform him of the present predicament and the day’s extraordinary events (excepting any mention of the 2nd Nation and the barrister’s connections thereto). If Chanvati’s...

Maybe many players are interested in a No Myth, Story Now approach to gaming--even if they aren't familiar with the terminology and debates around such terms? Ie, they're more interested in driving play themselves with a relatively clean slate rather than largely serving as passive participants...

At the steward’s intrusion, Chavanti swallows hard and collects himself. “Rith,” he addresses the steward calmly, “inform the leader of this delegation that I will meet them in the antechamber to the Great Hall presently.” He turns back to his companion. “Won’t you join me in a moment of...

Inter-scene Short Rest: Chanvati spends 1 Surge, Heals 6 HP to 24/24 HP, 4/7 Surges remaining. Chanvati and the barrister sit together in the lavish apartments he occupies in his father’s estate. Several slaves scurry in activity in the background, serving thimbleful glasses of sweet liqueur...

Just as Bita-Bousseh's stalwart unravels the scroll on the low table, servers arrive with steaming iron pots of tea and platters of honey-and-sesame seed confections. "Ah, delicious!" Chanvati exclaims and claps his hands softly three times in appreciation. "Extend my compliments to Peta-Rivan...

Milestone Achieved: gain 1 Action Point Short Rest: All Encounter-based resources refresh. Use Inspiring Word to regain 6 +4 HP = 24/24 HP, 6/7 Surges. In the plaza, Chanvati barely has time to catch his breath after the harrowing encounter in the Undervault of the Dome when the Tiefling and...

(Since Nephis's player is in the room with me right now, we've discussed the following and I am incorporating her input to my post below.) Before retrieving the Scrolls of Xanthar from their dusty shelf, Chanvati orders Pa'avu to search the body of their lead assailant. The goliath uncovers a...

Chanvati feels a queer fluttering in his stomach--fear? excitement? arcane feedback?--at the sensory overload emanating from the central brazier. He has visited the Dome of Illumination many times before but never when the Oracle was amidst Dreamspeaking! Neverthess, now is no time for...

Chanvati flinches slightly at the herald's words, one hand absently running across his bald forehead to the base of his knotted queue. His eyes flit back and forth between the Inquisitor and her mouthpiece. "Honored Herald, news has not reached the city of a new Inquisition. Just this morning...

You are correct in your understanding, and this is part of what @pemerton is getting at when he talks about who is permitted/constrained to say what at various instances of play.

Actual play Spout Lore, a comedy Story Now Dungeon World game of three misfit characters making a family together as they adventure in a rich, sometimes slapstick world. Two professional improv comedians and their also-hilarious friends.
