(Inconspicuous isn't really my style, and I'm untrained anyway.
I have a G2 Elven Script skill. This sure would be nice to know, but I've only got one Persona artha. So maybe I'll have some 6s to play with, but I've got my doubts.
So, G2 Elven Script vs Ob 3: [3, 2] One success, since it's gray. I fail at bureaucratese. I'm sure that won't come back to bite me or anything. ;-)
I concentrate on the paper, and finally sigh and look up. "For someone with such good handwriting, Cadogan, you sometimes write as though you were a mannish sorcerer. I wouldn't be surprised to find that if I read this section aloud it would invoke the spirits, or whatever it is men do."
"Still," I say, looking back at the paper, "I gather I need to keep them safe. Given that Viniir and I appear to be far better in a fight than any of them, that's only right."
I stab my finger down at the page where it says non-lethal. "Give Brogan a spear and we might be halfway decent in a fight. Smaller arms, perhaps, for the others, but it's simply inhumane to send elves into the territories of the lesser races without any weapons. Surely you see the need for them to defend themselves. And they'll need more than three days' rations to reach Glacier's Edge."
(I think that establishes my side of the Duel of Wits.)
