[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 8901116, member: 1282"] [I]Once Eyo-urth-shala and her entourage depart the estate, Chanvati wastes no time bringing Bita-Bousseh along to his father to inform him of the present predicament and the day’s extraordinary events (excepting any mention of the 2nd Nation and the[/I] [I]barrister’s connections thereto). If Chanvati’s apartments are decadent, extravagant, Quwaenthi’s are their opposite: spartan, austere even. His father belies the impression of his living space, however, a fat, jovial man, unflappable in his good humor, even with this dire news. “It’s a good thing you had with you that slave I bought as bodyguard!” and “Heresy and treason! What quaint charges!” stand out among his jokes. Nevertheless, the sincerity of his appreciation for Chanvati’s cleverness in bringing the Scrolls of Xanthar to him instead of his brother (“a capital start in magnifying our fortunes a hundredfold!”) and deep grief at his brother’s betrayal ([I]“Amna has always been a scorpion, but my own brother!”) [/I]are evident. After a brief session of vague plan-making to deal with the Imperial Brand and the official investigation it represents, aided, when appropriate, by the barrister’s legal advice, Chanvati and Bita-Bousseh repair to the former’s chambers, where the intensity of the day’s events spills over into a kiss and passionate embrace… <<fade to black>>[/I] [HR][/HR] [B]Minor Quest[/B]: End the Imperial Investigation upon his family. (This addresses (1) above directly and immediately.) [B]Major Quest[/B]: Depose Tarquin as Prince of the family and bring rightful vengeance down upon Tarquin and Amna. (This seems a natural outgrowth of the developing fiction and a way to address (2) above, as Chanvati throws in his lot with the 2nd Nation—at least for now—serving as an [B]Embedded Spy[/B] (one of my Background flags) within his own family (treacherous though they be).) Current XP 800/1000. Extended Rest: all Daily and Encounter Powers and HP/Surges reset to full value. Reset to 1 AP. Chanvati will also take 8 hours to master the [B]Hold Portal[/B] ritual he recovered with the Scrolls of Xanthar. Among the extraneous papers Chanvati retrieved when stealing the Scrolls of Xanthar is a [B]Ritual Scroll of Silent Image (L1 Deception Ritual).[/B] The art piece Bita-Bousseh gifts Chanvati/Pa’avu is [B]an intricately-carved jade hairpin[/B], as much a token of her affection as appreciation. Bita-Bousseh’s revised AW Power [B]Infernal Glower[/B] (At-Will), Fear Ranged 5, Target: one creature Attack: +5 vs Will Hit: 3 damage, and Bita-Bousseh slides the target 1 square [HR][/HR] Because of the extra time (Extended Rest + Mastering the Hold Portal Ritual), I assume the next scene begins no earlier than mid-morning the next day.
