OOps forgot about the people seeing it thing. It was a dark alley at night, so very unlikely for a witness.

Rystil[sblock]All I need then is if the guards are interested in pursuing . . . I definitely can't do it alone with all of those threats I'd be introducing a new character, the ghost of Zykovian.[/sblock]

Zykovian:

Hey, if it had Rejuvenation, you'd be set, right? You could always feed Fedowin the healing potion and do a two vs. two. All four are wounded to the point where one hit is the end.

Rystil[sblock]What a tangled web we weave we first we learn to deceive.
See, now you gone and ruined a perfectly good speech on wrath and retribution and your making me decide something vs a PC... Muddy the waters why don't we.... Uggh!!!
I am thinking Sneaky Tricksy in not going ot quite cover it now....

Now the key word you used is befuddle... confuse.. hide...

Do I know that even if these EI's can hide their taint it does not neceessarily mean that they have a 'taint score'? From what I know of these priestly types and and the EI would I believe that she would be a Taij? Do they define Tainted differently than 'we' do? Is it possible that they are detecting that she can hide her taint and could be understandably over-reacting?

My world is pretty much Black and White. See Taij - Smite it. Today has been filled with uncertainty - we have a case of bad timing - Ecomancers attacking Preservers/Avengers - we have a wonder-seeking Preserver who trust those who can hide their taint [/sblock]

It is true that the ability to hide the Taint does not equate to the Taint, but Nadia says they found the Taint. They actually didn't find the ability to hide it but the Taint itself, but they know that Eldritch Infiltrators have that ability.

Is it possible that they are detecting that she can hide her taint and could be understandably over-reacting?

No, they said they sense the Taint.

Do they define Tainted differently than 'we' do?

It could be, all you know is that they mentioned how Dragonlords are terribly Tainted.

Sneaky Tricksy I guess? Blame it on the GM. Its always my fault.

Rystil[sblock]It's interesting the two difference responses to the actions of the patrol.[/sblock]

[SBLOCK]
Totally! Its fascinating to notice that the ex-con is the one who wants them to be more pursuant in chasing crooks
[/SBLOCK]

 

[FreeXenon]

Rystil[sblock]Are there other ways to detect Taint than just having the abiliity to detect it? I think I am sensing a conspiracy here? [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

FreeXenon:
[SBLOCK]
No, that's the only way. But higher-level people may be better able to foil misdirections that hide the Taint.

But higher-level people may be better able to foil misdirections that hide the Taint.

Meaning that higher level people that can detect taint should be able to pierce protections that attempt to hide taint? They should be significantly higher and therefore better able to detect than I. I detected for taint on the inital encounter and found none except on the dagger... So it would stand to reason that they are most likely correct...

So here we go...
