Get the Girl to the Sect of Omthala, currently on hold.Per [USER=6696971]@Manbearcat[/USER] :Nested Skill Challenge: Level +2, Complexity 1 (DCs will be for level 5 so 10, 15, 22 while ATK vs AC is 19/21 and vs NAD is 17/18)0 Successes (0 Hard DC Available)/0 Failures/1 Secondary Skills Available/0 Advantages Available)Chanvati has proven himself to be a clever opportunist with ambition. But that ambition does not include overturning the current social order, which he has spent his life mastering and learning to exploit. He thinks Bita-Bousseh’s brother, Bita-Bahlin, delusional for his boyhood fantasies and belief in the Legion of Ruth (the Bladeling Horde) as a vehicle for societal leveling (an undesirable outcome, from Chanvati’s vantage) and instrument to be controlled (by the powerbrokers of the 2nd Nation, from theirs).So he rejects the goals of the 2nd Nation out of hand. Convincing Bita-Bousseh of the same remains. And Chanvati harbors deep suspicion of anyone like Bita-Bahlin, who could have held such beliefs before suddenly turning apostate and back to the cause of Empire. Yet Bita-Bahlin is correct in his conviction that the Legion must be resisted, or all will fall beneath its crushing heel.[HR][/HR]CHANVATI thought his head had spun before, from the nonsense cipher and the chaos of sensation. But that was nothing compared to this recent turn of events. Bita-Bousseh’s twin brother, Bita-Bahlin, the force behind the 2nd Nation! And he a delusional dupe and fabulist-turned-suddenly-counterrevolutionary! Imperial guards! Fire and thick, black smoke! An uproar of canine howls and frightened barking.He throws one robed forearm across his masked face and grabs Bita-Bousseh’s arm with the other. “Quick!” he cuts through the tumult, “to the back door and into the alleyway!”He peers through the frantic throng and chaos and drags the Tiefling barrister with him.“Pa’avu, things have gone terribly wrong here. We head for the back alley. Meet us there,” he sends telepathically to the Goliath.[HR][/HR]Secondary Skill Check Endurance to persevere through the choking smoke and chaos, r(12) +2 = 14 vs 10 Easy DC for +2 buff forward toPrimary Skill Check Perception to find a back exit into the alley from Ruffly Gelded, r(10) +4 +2 = 16 vs 15 Moderate DC. Glad I made that somewhat risky SS check! Success.Encounter Power Send Thoughts to send telepathic communication to Pa'avu.</blockquote>
