This is no simple task, for the goblin is warded by elaborate mental fortresses. To penetrate these and also avoid detection requires the utmost skill. Wandering the metaphoric maze of wards, the Merchant-Prince sees his path forward; the goblin's motives and allegiances are laid bare to his psychic forensics:A powerful psionic empath, this, allied with the Shi'yeur faction seeking to sow discord among the unaffiliated forces among the Legion: to set up Mordai Throkk for a power grab and quick reprisal, both from a rebellious Bantouk citizenry and competing Legion forces, shattering the enemy spirit-blooded forces within the Legion forever."Herald," the Psion calls out loudly in his clear tenor, "as you well know, Legion domains are now subject to the nascent Senate decreed by Her Imperial Majesty. As a leading citizen of Bantouk--I am Chanvati of House Audaseie--and prospective leader of this Senate, I demand, on behalf of all Bantouk's citizenry, audience with this Mordai Throkk to discuss this matter further in private."[HR][/HR]Hoping, with a success here, to establish a conspiracy and political struggle (already extant) that can be exploited in the follow-on obstacle to establish Mordai Throkk and their true, loyal forces as an ally in excising the Shi'yeur faction from a place of power within the Legion's decision making (ie, confronting the fracturing & warring factions of the Legion (3 Successes) being sealed with the next success, securing allies to help effect the second stage (6 Successes) of SC) being put into motion.To this effect, Chanvati makes a Primary Skill Insight check, r8+22=30 vs 24 Moderate DC. Success.With the elision of levels, I think it's fair to assume Chanvati has already positioned himself into the Senate but that his espoused Quest to become leader of the Senate is unresolved, a suitable part of the capstone for this end-of-Paragon play. I think it's entirely possible for this outstanding Quest to be rolled into the current SC (marshalling all political forces of the city for the ouster of the Legion via Senatorial action, in part).</blockquote>
