Boog's eyes narrowed. Was this girl telling him the truth? Was she trying to con him? Boog channeled his Power, reading every emanation of Thought that radiated from the acolyte. He saw through her as clearly as he'd ever seen through any being and wondered if this "Swami" was really worthy of his time?Patlin said:[sblock=Sense Motive DC 12]You get the feeling she wants to roll her eyes.[sblock=Sense Motive DC 16]The teenage girl seems to have some issues with respecting her elder, the Swami[/sblock][/sblock]
OoC: Expending his psionic focus to use his Inquisitor feat on the Sense Motive. d20+10+10 (Inquisitor) = 40(!). Best Roll Ever!
Boog's gaze remained fixed upon the lass, but his vision seemed to go right through her. The world momentarily stopped turning as he rechanneled and refocused his Power. His focus returned to her face, his vision clear once again.[sblock=OoC: ]Using Psionic Meditation to regain psionic focus as a move action, and simultaneously using Narrow Mind to gain a +4 on the Concentration check to regain the focus. Taking 10 (not under fire), d20=10 + 9 (concentration + bonus) +4 (narrow mind) = 23 (automatic success)[/sblock]Boog reached into a pocket in his pack, the one where he kept his gold. He retrieved a fistful of the heavy metal. The Elan who would rather walk for days than buy a horse set down with a thump enough gold to feed two ordinary humans for a month. A hint of disdain crept into his voice as he spoke: "This should see to your gross corporeal needs. Now I should like to see if your Swami can take care of mine."[sblock=OoC: ]Offering 30 gp with an attitude. I suspect the price is much cheaper, but Boog doesn't care for the way the girl disrespects Power.[/sblock]"He's either a fraud or she's a fool", thought the telepath. "But if he can do what she says, all the gold in the world is but mere trappings of the real Power that he can give me."Patlin said:"The Swami teaches how to free ones mind from the confines of the body. If you strive to become a creature of pure thought, you've come to the right master. He also says the student may choose the offering he will make... but as I don't intend to leave my body behind me any time soon, I'd suggest coin. Even a Swami and his humble assistant have to eat!"
