Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manbearcat" data-source="post: 9173485" data-attributes="member: 6696971">3/4 Successes (0 Failure/1 Secondary Skill Available[HR][/HR]The young githyanki, no more than a boy by the measure of a prime-world-dweller, disrupts his rote channeling and ritual-craft in the pool to rise.  Transfixed on the sight before him of Kuskha-varra own transfixed state by the earth-mender goliath.  The dragon's teeth part slightly and a low rumble emanates from the engine of her burning flames.  Her eyes stare unflinching at the warrior-slave.Unable to peel his eyes from the sight before him, he takes in the merchant-psion's correct telling of the tale.  Only when the human bears the Byeshk Blade skyward are ishka's eyes peeled from the compelling standoff before him.  Abruptly he follows Chanvati's movements with his eyes.  After a pause for consideration later, he offers:"My Kith'rak will circumnavigate my findings here.  Every angle will be covered in detail.  Why we are presently not in full-throated crusade will be highly contested.  Githyanki spit on prevarication and embellishment, but he would see into my mind even if that were not true.  We are a people of hard-earned prowess.  Your world would flinch at our culture, at our methods, calling us cruel.  For instance; now, my blade will try to kill you.  My Kith'rak will see these events through my eyes and know the truth of it; if you are as capable as seems...as claimed...or if you are dead..."The silver blade rises from the mercurial, Astral Pool, viscous, radiant "waters" dripping from it.  It darts from his hand, taking flight with menace, insofar as it has a "mind," mortality is on it.  It flashes with incredible speed toward Chanvati.[HR][/HR]Defend against the blade.  If Pa'avu breaks off with Kushka-varra to intercede and fails, the dragon will be offended and I'm bringing her in as the consequence.  If Chanvati defends himself and fails, I'm bringing in a Hard DC and escalating the duel.  Though the overall conflict is level 12, we'll use the AC/NAD of level 8 here.  Medium AC is 22 if ATK vs AC is the route you go.  Fort/Ref is 20.</blockquote>
