[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9247071, member: 20459"] [I]Mylistra draws herself up tall, illustrating that perhaps Juniper is not the only one to be "respected," but she stumbles a bit crossing over the threshold of the room, somewhat spoiling the effect. Davos smirks as he watches the elfling catch her by the elbow to keep her from falling and settles her into one of the two chairs, taking the second one himself. Crossing one leg over the other, [B]JENDI[/B] regards the sheriff for a moment. Then he smiles winningly at him. "My mother [B]is [/B]rather brilliant, is she not? I am so glad you share my respect for her. Indeed, the respect so many have for her and her good works and skillful hands." He settles more comfortably into the chair. "Her respect goes far in engendering support from all and sundry, and one day soon her acolyte will share in her skill and power: perhaps she has already done so." Jendi pauses, looking pensively down at his hands for a moment. Then, still not looking up, he continues: "Why should you not call out for the constables and have us 'handled'? Here is why, Sheriff, because there are ways we can be useful to you. We have hidden strengths and skills you are not yet aware of. Connections, too: here in Ravenswood, downriver in Blackstone, ... deep in the Forest..." the warlock's voice trails off as he looks up suddenly, meeting the angry, frustrated gaze of Davos with a clear sharp one of his own. He allows a momentary silence as they stare at each other. Then Jendi cocks his head to the side. "It is also possible ... even probable? that you have allowed yourself to become beholden to those who appear more powerful than they actually are? Those who may [B]not [/B]be as useful to your future plans as you think? Information is simply one of the many ways we might be useful to you, if we can only find some point to begin negotiation."[/I] [HR][/HR] [LIST] [*]We are leveraging an Advantage to parlay 1 Success at the Hard DC into 2 Successes.
