Arilemna.  All of my words came from a place of sympathy and the hope you may one day move past these events."  His focus was on her again.  "I pray to the Dawnfather that you will find a path that makes you happy."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Persuation Check to improve Arilemna's disposition and to properly get across to the orcs that he means business</div><div class="spoiler_body">A natural twenty for a total of 25 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=159795)!</div></div>
