Ahead lies the great light that...

[Anastasia]

Correct. The House of the Triad is the divine realm of Helm, Tyr and Ilmater. It's closely connected to Celestia. The Triune or the Triune deity is Angharradh, the one Mei and Jaela serve.

It's a case of similar names. I just figured you had some idea for inviting Mei I didn't immediately grasp.

[Nephrite]

Nope, just a case of me being confused. I'll roll with it.

Moore lets out a laugh. "You know, apparently I need to get my names right." A sigh after that as he goes for a glass of water. "I mixed up Triad and Triune. Well, it's fine anyway since I wanted to talk to you about something else, so this is a good opportunity."

He leans forward and sets the glass down. "Do you work as an envoy for Angharradh? I assume you must have some sort of special role to play for her."

[Anastasia]

"I accomplish tasks," Mei says after a moment, "Do you have one for me?"

[Nephrite]

"Sort of." Moore says. "I'd like to expand my own diplomatic endeavors, especially to the Triune. ...just don't tell them my first act was to confuse them with others."

[Anastasia]

A light laugh, "I'll petition for you there and pass on your message."

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says. "Let them know that I heard the Irrigo are doing quite well."

[Anastasia]

Mei nods at that and...

Anything else to do here?

[Nephrite]

There is not.

[Anastasia]

Next move then?

[Nephrite]

Lets have Moore use his Commune with Knowledge spell. I've got some other things to ask anyway.

It took me a minute to find the text: This spell contacts the platonic ideal of knowledge itself to obtain answers. This spell functions as contact other plane, except that the chance of a true answer is 1-96, the chance of a random answer is 97-100 and the Intelligence DC to avoid Intelligence and Charisma loss is 18, it lasts 1 day and a natural roll of 1 always results in a failure, no matter the total*. Certain questions, such as those that seek the secrets of deities, anathemic knowledge or knowledge protected by epic abjurations cause this spell to return a result of unknown instead of an answer. Unlike with contact other plane, the answers may be as long as needed and not only one word.

* Bards and clerics use Charisma and Wisdom in place of an Intelligence check, and lose their bard or cleric spellcasting in place of arcane spellcasting.



Do I autopass the check now since I can't fail on 1s?

[Anastasia]

It's written fairly precisely - deities don't fail an attack roll or saving throw on a natural one. This is normally a case where the specific text would take priority.

However, I would rule a deity wouldn't be subject to the ability score loss from contact other plane as it is, so I'd rule you'd be exempt in this case. A deity simply isn't going to be stricken dumb by this.

[Nephrite]

Okay.

In that case then, I think I get 17 questions? CL /2?

I can't not pass the Charisma check.

[Anastasia]

Then get to your questionings.

[Nephrite]

"What are the limits of Arcadia that I must break out from to obtain my goal?"

We will start here see what happens.

[Anastasia]

"Unknown."

Certain questions, such as those that seek the secrets of deities, anathemic knowledge or knowledge protected by epic abjurations cause this spell to return a result of unknown instead of an answer.

Was probably a bit optimistic to hope that whatever a Guardian did to hide a seed wouldn't fall under that.
