"My, uh, reputation precedes me in this, Arunny. But in this it makes our ruse all the more plausible." He wipes his sleeve across his mouth. "Now follow my lead and do as we planned!" he whispers."Don't try to shtopp me, Shishter," he slurs in too clamorous a volume and stumbles out into the main hall, directly beneath the mezzanine where The Mind surveys all. "If thish youngshter is to fight wicked enemiesh of Our Lady, then shhe musht learn her catechishhmsh of Viiisch [vice]." He swings the arm holding the bottle in a wide arc in the general direction of the stacks."A dozhen shpectral shervants, and none doesh sherve Her Lady'sh ... shervants! Hellloooo! Ish this a library or a tomb? Where can a priesht find shacred texshts when he needsh them?!?" Ibhea almost trips over the hem of his qaba.Arunny, following her colleague's mad plan, calls out plaintively, "Will someone just help us find the collection of Omthala's Mysteries so that our tutelage here can be brief and I can help the Lucent Messenger back to the Sanctuary ... and out of your hair," the last in a faux sotto voce.All activity in the hall grinds to a halt. Volumes attended by spectral servants hover midair. The Oracle stops writhing in his chains. No one utters a word.Then The Mind discorporates into a thousand crystal shards and cascades from its perch on the mezzanine to reform before the boisterous priest.[HR][/HR]Ibhea makes a Primary Skill Bluff check, using the bottle of wine carried in his satchel as a convincing prop (and +2 equipment bonus) in his ploy to draw The Mind's attention away from Xin Mae's illicit activities and upon himself, r(7) +13 +2 = 22 vs 16 Moderate DC. Success.</blockquote>
