Relief

[Anastasia]

'A symbol of righteous sacrifice will keep him at bay,' Domiel says, 'Do you have such a thing?'

[Nephrite]

'I do not think we do.' Moore says. 'It wouldn't be difficult to obtain one, likely from Illmater or something similar for the Grand Master to carry on themselves if needed.'

[Anastasia]

'That will do, but it must be one freely given in that case.'

[Nephrite]

'We can obtain one.' Moore says. 'I was also considering speaking to Lady Selune to see if she may be able to offer us aid against Shar's interference or potential interference.'

[Anastasia]

'Selune is always interested in such matters, but she does remember the favors owed to her.'

[Nephrite]

'I'm not too concerned of being indebted to her.' Moore says with a smile - not that Domiel can see it. 'I have some further work to do, thank you for your wisdom.'

[Anastasia]

With that done, now what?

[Nephrite]

He may as well get the more disagreeable portion of it out of the way first...

He sighs and rubs his forehead, then steels himself for this. He will link Sylvie into the conversation as well as the others, just in case.

Bel. I need to speak to you about an operation we will be performing on the Abyss.

[Anastasia]

Speak.

A single word, but you can feel the simmering anger, unhidden and like a pit of lava that bubbles in the fires of the earth.

[Nephrite]

Moore's not got time for this showmanship.

We believe that Zquujaj will be interfering with our operation. The long and short of it is I am asking for a favor for you to assault him in some capacity so he doesn't interfere with us.

[Anastasia]

In return?

[Nephrite]

Assuredly you have something in mind that we could more easily help you with than what you have available.

[Anastasia]

Diplomacy check, -45 penalty.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 100. Don't try and fuck with me, Bel!

[Anastasia]

Give me a Sense Motive check as well.
