The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 81, using 13 of my magical luck pool points, I have 62 points left for reference.

[Anastasia]

Baleruk is silent - he doesn't breathe on you so that has to be a good sign.

[Nephrite]

"I'll cut right to the heart of the matter. You saw what happened and it's bothering you. Am I close?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

Baleruk speaks...didn't he? You swore he said something. The dragon eyes you in distaste before his head comes forward, close enough for a single eyeball to completely take up his field of view.

Again he said something, right? You think he did yet you don't remember. Again. Again. Again. Again.

"What use is it? Your mind cannot comprehend it." Baleruk says.

[Nephrite]

"Then we simply have to find a way so that it can." Moore says with a small smile. "There are books out there that write this sort of thing down in a way that other people can read. So this really shouldn't be any exception. Or are you just giving up?" He adds at the end.

Would it be reasonable for him to think this is anathemic knowledge or something like that?

[Anastasia]

Yes, Aurora's ran into it a few times.

"Worthless," Baleruk says, "You dabble in the affairs of the divine. It will not end well for you. You cannot deal with perfection."

[Nephrite]

"I'm sure if the holy mountain wanted me to just give up it wouldn't have pointed me back to you." Moore says. "Like I said earlier, are you just going to give up and let this knowledge defeat you? That's not what I thought would ever undo your majesty."

[Anastasia]

Make a Diplo check there.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 81 again, I am down to 49 points.

[Anastasia]

Baleruk is silent. "Bring me Sylvie," Baleruk commands. "Now."

[Nephrite]

"You could just... ...fine." Moore says as he goes outside of the lair. "Elena? Can you please have Sylvie come to Baleruk's lair?"

[Anastasia]

"Okay," Elena winks in, says that, and vanishes.  Easy enough.

[Nephrite]

Moore will wait!

[Anastasia]

Sylvie flies up soon enough and calls as she reaches you, "You called? What is it?"

[Nephrite]

"Baleruk saw what happened to Benfal. I think the plan is going to be to use 21 so that we can see the truth about it, since it appears to be some pretty heavy anathemic knowledge as it stands." Moore explains.
