Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 9224755" data-attributes="member: 1282">The disorientation that one typically experiences upon transition to the Astral Sea is minimal for CHANVATI. After all, he spent hours upon hours in the Astral Simulation Tank at Xerxes's, as do all advanced students in Chronotopology.Slowly and awkwardly, the Psion wills himself closer to the crystalline dragons, which turn at his approach. He manages a profound bow.<<Greetings, oh noble ones,>> he begins, using the language of dragons that he mastered under private tutors, long before his matriculation at Xerxes's commenced. <<My fellows and I are sojourners here for a brief period of time, and we have need of refreshment to bolster our efforts in our quest. I hesitate even to draw your magnificent attention to such lowly creatures as ourselves, but our need is great and our situation dire. Would you permit us but a moment or two to partake of this prismatic vapor, and so enliven our transit of this strange and wondrous realm?>>The creatures seem amused at the Merchant-Prince's humility and flattery, as one might be by a domesticated herd animal deferring its meal of hay until after its owner had performed the milking.<<Partake if you wish,>> offers the eldest, most wizened of the trio, <<but drink not too deeply, for mortals such as yourself are discordant with the ineffable nectars of our home.>>[HR][/HR]Chanvati makes a Primary Skill Diplomacy check to negotiate use of the Astral Vent, r(12) +15 = 27 vs 20 Moderate DC.
