[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9255783, member: 6696971"] Alright, cool. Lets call this a pair of different Complexity 1 Skill Challenges, each with separate goals and levels. The first one is more difficult because the Bladeling Horde is a disciplined group that isn't apt to "complain down or outside" of their chain of command. So level +2. The second is right in Chanvati's sweet spot and this is "home turf" so lets call this of-level. [HR][/HR] [USER=20459]@Nephis[/USER] Complexity 1 SC, Level 13 SC.

(1) <smash cut to Danger Chamber of Psicrafter's Guild> The monk hands the arcane apparatus, an iron tiara with an encrusted focusing gem, to both Rietka and Pa'avu.
