Polymorph magic pervades her entire form. It doesn't register as Arcane, Primal, Divine, Elemental, or Shadow in power source. It appears natural. A changeling, shapeshifter, doppleganger? Leaving the matter of the execution for the moment, the rider puts her hand out to the deed-doers to pause their work as she turns her horse to face Lief. Her leathers show clear signs of recent battlewear; blootstains and creases. Her mouth is split wide and the scarring wound oozes blood as she talks. She pulls a kerchief to her mouth to soak it up. "You'll get little from this cretin I'm afraid. We've already tried all manner on him. He will not divulge the secrets of the freebooting misanthropes he keeps company with. But if you're a priest of some kind, say your words and he can say his to whatever fool-god would give such a soul purchase from the fate it rightly deserves. As for the rest of us? Caravanners, peddlers, guards, simple travelers, the lot. There is nothing to tell." Her neck cranes to regard a few shallow graves presumably where slain bandits were put to rest; "and dead men tell no tales."[/I] [HR][/HR] What's the move here? [B][I]MEDIUM DC[/I][/B]. [/QUOTE]
