Ouch, indeed Aeriyon's actions would backfire on Elvas in that theory. But same go Elvas would realize implications of such actions (he acted his round already so he cannot react yet) but once he can....Aeriyon bluff should be good enough convince even Elvas and others or else Elvas more than gladly helps get rid of him to just save his own ass.<br/><br/>More so as Elvas origin is known (he is from city of Dark Weavings) but we shall see does he has time to explain himself. Only good factor was that he did not plan enter the house to become house mage just to place assassin near matron mother to kill her. Not mention Xyhri cannot quaranteed his honesty as he resisted her mind reading ability (even if in telepathy he sounded honest but in telepathy lies can be easily told). Only what works for his defense is this; he saved matron's life once already. So if he wanted kill matron mother he had oppoturnity already. If not doubt it merely as ploy to give him positive agenda to keep matron alive so Aeriyon can do his move without reflecting it badly on himself.<br/><br/>Drow paranoia is fun at times in wild stories it makes :P.
