Vassarious immerses themselves into the character and once she gets himalone, recants a tale to the governor of mystery and intrigue to draw him in, telling him that she does not want to have her involvement known, but feels something must be done, and believes the governor to be the only one who can be trusted.

Vassarious weaves the story together into a connected narrative to paint the governor a picture.

They tell him of an ambassador from beyond their empire who has visited the temple in pursuit of a prophecy warning of a betrayal to the Emperor and who found the high priest's behavior very suspicious and filled with veiled hostility.

They recant the story of the deposed faction of the priesthood that believed the Emperor's true intentions were being twisted to suit.

Vassarious then tells him of visions that have been reported to come to warn of the subversion of the Emperor's will by corrupted magic.

"Is there anyone outside of the priesthood who understands the magics well enough to verify they have not been modified?"
"Is there a way to look into this discretely?"

Vassarious attempts to drop the story, hook the mark, and get out as quickly as they can and avoid additional entanglements.

((Skill roll failed! - Going to use a Destiny point to change that into a success, AND a Wildcard Point to pad the margin if it will make a difference.))
