Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 6927065" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Clash of The Righteous[gm]KASNIK: Actually, you CAN detect auras, you're just not very good at it currently. I will post my updated Detect Evil document to the group OOC chat on Facebook Messenger here shortly, within the next few minutes. Since this argument clearly took more than 24 seconds (4 rounds) I took the liberty of rolling Kasnik's Sense Motive on everyone in the room. They were all failures, even when I re-rolled the two results of "1"; However, the two results of 23 were, ironically, on the Green Man, and on Vale. [23 is only 2 points shy of being able to see the complete aura!] Although you can't read the auras, you do NOT detect evil ANYWHERE within your range of detection, including moments when you change the focus of your cone by scanning the room; also, you suddenly get a "gut feeling" that neither Vale, nor the Man in Green, is wantonly evil, and although you have acted correctly by challenging Vale and protecting the Man in Green, something tells you that of the two, Vale is by far the more righteous, even if his zeal DID momentarily get the better of him. You know from long years of experience that Dwarves can be grumpy, cantankerous, and stubborn, but that this is often a harsh exterior which hides a good heart. Something inside you (let's call it "Valerian's Enlightenment") tells you that such is the case with Vale, and that he, being a servant of The Silver Father, will face adequate consequences as it is, and that you should forgive him for his lapse in judgment. Of course, this does not mean that you should not be vigilant against relapses in the future; but you know from experience that anger and frustration can harden one's heart, and cloud one's judgment. One outburst of anger does not make one evil. You know very well that evil grows best through unchecked repetition. Luckily, that particular "weed" will not have a chance to grow here, under your watchful eyes.[/gm]Respen casts Hypnotism on the Man in Green, but the man's mind, clouded by fear, refuses to embrace the spell's pull toward complacency; at one point, the Man in Green locks Respen's gaze with his own, saying nothing outwardly, but conveying a sense of both anger and fear, as he realizes that you have attempted to enspell him.The Man in Green is currently cowering, trying to crawl towards the corner of the room, to avoid what he senses to be an escalation of the conflict. There is no window nor door nor other form of egress in the direction he is crawling; only the safety of the corner.[Everyone: What do you do?]</blockquote>
