Forewarned of the githyanki's ritual of doom, the Psicrafter has super-charged his neuronal pathways with ki energy, a thousand lies, embellishments, wild exaggerations, and deceits formulating in his brain at once.Chanvati calls out loudly in his sweet tenor, "Ishkar, brave marine in the vanguard of your people's war! What admiration we have for you, the risks you have taken in service to your people! "Alas, I fear you are mistaken about the nature of the great threat to the gith. Caiphon, the Dread Star, the Purple Menace from Beyond, Insanityclad, is great foe to us, too, and most people of this plane. We are not your enemy but your ally in this war! We too seek the betrayers in our midst. And I, Chanvati Audaseie, am The Madnessbreaker, bearer of Ikzivl, the Byeshk Blade, also known as Caiphon's Doom. Will you command your noble guardian to stand down so as to allow us to enter into parley, and avoid needless bloodshed?"[HR][/HR]Okay, I'm assuming that Chanvati has the time to prepare Glib Limerick before he enters the scene (largely because I haven't used it in forever, miss using rituals, and wish to build more upon the Bluff descriptor of "mak[ing] what seems outrageous plausible" over a straight Diplomacy check) and so am taking benefit of that double roll (which lasts 10 minutes and accrues no component cost once per day due to Bardic Training). I think the intent behind the action is clear.Chanvati makes a Primary Skill Bluff check, augmented by Glib Limerick, r(13,10) +14 =27 vs 20 Moderate DC. Success.</blockquote>
