#and smtms when i write nathbryn replies i hear mintharas vc

[oflolth]

minthara is attempting to deceive nathbryn, and rolled a 12. 💀

5E SKILLS STARTERS / ACCEPTING. / " i know that you did not truly kill the wizard and eat his liver. he tastes atrocious. " nathbryn realized what it was that she had accidentally implied, and frowned. " i have not tasted of the wizard's liver - gale and i are in agreement when it comes to his lack of potability. i only mean that it is obvious that you have not, as well. your palate is too refined. "

that seemed to nathbryn dangerously close to a compliment. she fought to right the ship that was this conversation before it ran aground on jagged rock, but the more she spoke, the more she felt she was losing whatever game it was they were playing: " i did not mean that as a compliment to you. it is a compliment to your house. i do not compliment the blasphemous. "

she had complimented the blasphemous within view of minthara just that morning.

" i do not sincerely compliment the blasphemous, " nathbryn amended. " followers of the absolute may stand in exception. now that we have established you were lying about the wizard, shall we go and collect his carcass? have withers breathe new life into it? i refuse to bother lolth over something so trivial. "

there is a pause.

" come to think of it, should he not have exploded by now? i've never been clear on how that works. "
