[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 8950051, member: 1282"] [I]Chanvati steps out onto the balcony looking down into the caravanserai's central courtyard and beckons the old man join him. Below, Pa'avu carries a haunch of salted pterodactyl on her shoulder and loads it onto the pack animal, her mighty deltoids glistening with sweat already in the dawn light. The greatsword on her back is nearly the length of a fullgrown human. Chanvati inhales deeply, breathing in the still-cool air that wafts across the savannah. "My slave there butchered that beast with her own hands, both literally and in battle. She butchered those Gnoll marauders, too, marauders that imperil the trade roads in these parts. Has Chomrok's garrison grown so soft as to allow such raids within sight of its ramparts, Raathya?" The merchant prince turns to face the old man, who takes a step back when seeing the furious gleam in Chanvati's eye. Psionic energy bursts across the neural network of Chanvati's mind, lending added force and nuance to his harangue. "You speak of my grandfather, Raathya, a kind man but a fool. My father is kind but no fool. I am neither. You forget yourself, and your play here reeks of graft. My family [B]owns[/B] this caravanserai, however long you have served here as satrap. If you wish to keep that position you will honor my family's needs--my needs, and the needs of those under my protection. Else you will find yourself without a position that has rewarded you handsomely over the years, old man. And perhaps without a precious appendage or two, as well..." he lets his pronouncement trail off.[/I] [HR][/HR] I'm wagering an [B]Advantage[/B] here for 2 successes, and making my roll against the Hard DC. Pa'avu's presence below, her imposing physique and implicit threat of violence, is leveraging a [B]Secondary Skill[/B] check Intimidate, +11 vs 11 Easy DC = autosuccess for a +2 bonus to Chanvati's [B]Adept's Insight[/B]-augmented (r(3) +1 = +4 bonus to) [B]Primary Skill[/B] check Intimidate, r(17) +8 +2 +4 = 31 vs 23 Hard DC. 2 Successes.
