Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grendel_Khan" data-source="post: 9490620" data-attributes="member: 7028554">LIEF watches the drama playing out before him—no, within him—and wracks his memory, trying to recall the cosmic pecking order among this primal spirits. As always, the question is simple: Who dominates, and who should submit?Nothing's coming to him. The Elect never talked about strife within Primordial forces. They simply lied about the Hidden Mogul's place of respect among them. Lies! Lies!He's looking to the stag for guidance, for once hoping for some signal or sign. Instead, he seems the watcher spirit flag under the living lake's words. The stag cringes from the wave, not out of fear, but...guilt? "Nenglamir," Lief shouts, then drops to his knees in the water. "I don't know what the stag has done to you, but I know this—he does not speak for me. He never has! Whatever sins he's committed, they aren't mine. I only ask that you don't use my mind as your battlefield." The shifter cranes his neck to face the looming wave. "I'm your ally, even if he was not."The cresting wave remains still for a heavy moment. Then it drops, arcing over Lief's head to pound the shore where the stag had been. Water douses the shifter. It comes down hard, but not so hard as it could have been. When it's done, and he opens his eyes, the lake is still and silvered as a mirror. -------------------------Intent: Determine whether the stag really did abandon the lake spirit, and present himself as separate from it.Secondary: Religion. r(3)+4 = 7 vs. Easy DC 13.
