We have the coin and are willing to spend it ... so long as it's bribing the proper officials and not being pocketed by yet another untrustworthy House factotum!However, Chanvati tires of Stewards with Secrets (not a bad band name, actually!). This is his family's holding, after all, and he has asked a direct question. It should be answered. So we're definitely opting in to that Social SC! You can consider my post below a first move in that if you like--I'm writing it up with such intent--or you can present another specific obstacle to engage instead.Further, as you probably anticipate, Ishka's story and situation resonate strongly with Pa'avu, herself a servant brought from the desert badlands to civilization and subsequently sold into slavery due to injury and nursed back to health by her owner's family. Pa'avu intends to discern if he is satisfied in his lot or wishes to be saved in some way.[HR][/HR]"Steward Kaveh," CHANVATI begins, "there is time enough for talk of safe passage back to Bantouk once I make a full and satisfactory assessment of my House's interests here in Red Rock. Know you that war marches upon the Empire? You see the personal army of Half-Giants I have brought with me to ensure House Audaseie's scion brooks no challenges during his itinerary of quality control.So before we talk further of my departure, answer the question I put to you rather straightforwardly: What is afoot here in Red Rock that has your slaves and servitors ill at ease? And why was my family not notified immediately of any peculiarities at one of our holdings? Surely word has reached you of the failings of the Steward of Chomrok ... and our displeasure with his efforts...." The Merchant-Prince allows his sentence to trail off menacingly. [HR][/HR]Chanvati makes a Primary Skill Intimidate check, r(16) +10=26.</blockquote>
