Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 9531064" data-attributes="member: 1282">CHANVATI reads the thoughts of the assembled, taking in the cause of mirth among some. This canine--his name roughly translates to "Earthdiver" in homage to his famous ancestor--and his frolic with Hazard provide more than just a distraction from hostilities: they offer a moral and political lesson, if one only has the insight to see it! And the power and will to act upon it....The Psion expands his consciousness into the Chronotope. Disengages the fortress of his ego. Watches as the slipstream of time and space blurs past him, elongating and shrinking like some multidimensional caterpillar.There!An assemblage of bladeling hunters. A sulfurous bog crackling with electricity. A loyal canine leaping into action.It is so easy for one of his potency! Infusing the canine form with psionic ki, Chanvati watches the efforts of his "aid": the bladeling hunter rescued from the morass. The supercharged canine erupting from the mud with a powerful kick. Shaking itself violently when again upon firm ground. The assembled sighing collectively and lavishing praise upon "the bestest boy."Chanvati releases his venturing mind, and his consciousness snaps back to the present."See here," he gestures to the canine play, "even our loyal friends recognize the ancient bonds between Bladeling and Goliath, their mutual reverence of the Great Spirits of the Earth."Time has come to abandon your servitude to the Burning Mountain and those in your midst who divert you from the old ways."[HR][/HR]Kind of a weird skill check here. Chanvati is making a check to alter the Chronotope, to save the bladeling hunter's life and thereby undo the lingering enmity towards the Primal Powers resultant from this death. The most straightforward way of handling this is via a Primary Skill Arcana check, which, at +24, is an autosuccess versus the Moderate 24 DC. <s>However, if you think the sequence here is better represented by Arcana as a Secondary Skill (also an autosuccess, of course, for a +2 bonus) and then Diplomacy as the Primary Skill check, my roll for that is r18+20+2=40 vs 24 Moderate DC,. Also a Success, but requiring a roll and the expenditure of our remaining Secondary Skill.</s>Totally cool with whatever you rule here!</blockquote>
