Not sure if all this merits a Deceive test, but I don't want to feel like I'm taking liberties, so here's a roll:
(1d100)[3] (vs. Fel 30)
Fortune Point reroll should it fail: (1d100)[99]
Hoping I can get some circumstantial bonuses from use of Mimic/fear of the Omnissiah/the others playing along.
Technically, though, Shryke has mostly been telling the truth
. He's that kind of liar.
Also, Calimos: the proposed tour of the cages should be a good opportunity for you to "discover" the secret compartment beneath the Mystery Cage.
