[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 8893331, member: 20459"] [I]Pa’avu stares at the Stonefang spider in the vial as a long dormant memory is unearthed… a memory from long before her clan sold her to Chanvati’s father. These spiders are used in rituals teaching the young goliaths to fight calmly through great pain and to channel more fully their inherited endurance of stone. Children as young as five years old are forced to stand upright, as spiders – one by one – are placed into their cupped hands. Inevitably they will succumb to the venom eventually and fall into a deep, fevered sleep, sometimes for days, but Pa’avu can still recall her pride that, on the day of her trial, she held as many as seven spiders before succumbing herself. Not only that, she only slept for nine hours, not even a day. She wonders if she is still able to fully access the l’pahb’gin (every goliath’s inner connection to their common blood heritage), and she reaches for the vial to find out. The spider’s venom floods her lymphatic system. Foggy headed, Pa’avu has just barely enough presence of mind to place the little spider gently back into its vial. She also has a vague sense of Chanvati grasping her jaw, turning her to face him, and staring deeply into her clouded eyes. Can he see her memories? Presently her focus telescopes to a memory: elders proclaiming that she showed great promise and was destined for excellence … promise that apparently ended a few short years later when she was gravely wounded in a caravan accident, leaving her too “damaged” and so she was sold away. As Pa’avu breathes deeply in and out to focus her strength of endurance, she rasps out, “you see an obstacle: I see a challenge already overcome.”[/I] [HR][/HR] Nature as secondary skill (vs Easy DC 8): Roll 17 + 3 = 20 = +2 to identify the spider Adept’s insight: 1d4 + 1 = 1 + 2 = +3, Chanvati psionically interceding to augment Pa'avu's endurance Endurance (+7) vs Hard DC 19: Roll 5 + 2 + 3 + 7 = 17, fail (barely!!) I assume there will be some sort of surge loss, etc. I would like to invoke Stone’s Endurance to mitigate these effects and prove visible evidence of Pa’avu’s great fortitude. I am attempting to (2) Make Her Believe … our power is greater than she imagines. [/QUOTE]
