A Game Fragment
In this episode, two partners from Directorate of Souls – Lawrence (Player #1) and Adelmar (Player #2), find themselves in a dangerous situation. They are in a tavern. Some bandits are looking for them. Suddenly, among the other people in the tavern they notice three elves who could become their allies. Male elf with a bow, a swarthy male elf with cornrows, and an elven girl. Player #3 plays as Claem (one of the elves, with the bow). The GM plays all the other characters.

Player #3, who is playing the elf with the bow, doesn’t trust strangers and makes a covert claim. He informs the GM that he wants to use the Constable profession and check the recent statement about “civilian mages” for falsehood. The GM independently rolls for the Constable based on the elf’s stats and rolls for the Fraud based on Lawrence`s stats.
The rolls fall in favor of the elf and he gets feeling that he is being lied to. Player #1 and #2 are unaware that their words are being checked for lies. These people are not civilian magicians, they could be anybody.

The elven girl (GM) says in fear: “No, no, no. I don’t want to”. She immediately backs down. “This is not what I want.”
Addresses Player #3: You leave and head towards the horses. You’re walking towards the bandits and they glance at you. They are wielding weapons, looking dangerous and angry.

The bandit leader asks Cleve (GM): “Do you know these guys? Are they connected to your kidnapping?”
Cleve (GM): “No, I don’t know them. There were two of them, people from the Directorate of Souls.”
The leader of the bandits turns to the elf-archer: “Guys, don’t you want to help us kill these Directory folks? We’ll split the money later. They’re scum.”
