Arensha went to dinner with her face practically radiant with afterglow, making no secret what had went on between her, Alfreldi and al-Samara.<br/><br/>A woman she didn't recognize waved at her from the far end of the table. "Who's that?" Arensha whispered to the tiefling sitting beside her. She learned of the girl's muteness, and gave a return wave to Silent Girl, just the minimum necessary to be polite.<br/><br/>The encounter was soon out of her mind, as more interesting conversations and affairs dominated the dinner discussion...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Garetz was apparently not an eunuch, but Arensha felt that he could have been, from the purely professional and platonic way he looked at her and checked her body to make sure she was still in good health physically. Mentally, she was reassured by his suggestion that she could recover her memories eventually.<br/><br/>She missed the sarcasm in the healer's voice and took his praise of Roshul at face value. "I'll be sure to pass on your kind words," the catgirl giggled cheerily, her opinion of the naga rising a notch.<br/><br/><em>(4 sense motive)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70220)<br/><br/>After leaving Garetz's office, Arensha pieced together the events that had occurred leading up to and after her accident. She was reading in the library when the book fell on her head and gave her a bad knock. Roshul found her unconscious and immediately brought her to Garetz for treatment. None of the library staff were close enough to be involved, which would explain why they knew so little about what happened.<br/><br/>Arensha felt very proud of herself for solving the mystery at last!<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Her curiosity about herself sated for now, Arensha could devote her attention to Zelda's research over the next couple of days. Her work was fruitful, and she was on the cusp of unlocking the secrets of the Azlanti.<br/><br/><em>Knowledge: 23 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70221)<br/>Knowledge: 27 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70222)</em><br/><br/>Arensha was hurrying up the central stairs of the palace towards the library, eager to solve the final piece of the puzzle at last, when she spotted a slight sheen of light on the next step she was about to place her foot on. Fortunately she managed to stop herself before she put her foot down on the slippery step and risked a dangerous slip. Upon closer inspection, not only the next step but also the next few ones after that were covered in grease.<br/><br/>There was no reason for this nearly-invisible slick to be here, with no apparent cause in sight - could it be magical? There was one way to find out, and Arensha didn't know how she knew, but somehow she knew how to cast a simple cantrip to<em>detect magic</em>. She focused on the oily steps, and almost immediately felt a faint aura of conjuration coming from it.<br/><br/>Well, she knew about this hazard now, but someone else might not see it before she tripped and hurt herself! The patch of grease had to go, and she just happened to know how to perform the proper incantation and gestures to<em>dispel</em>it...<br/><br/><em>Perception: 28 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70223)<br/>Dispel magic CL check: 17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70237)</em>
