Lyvina is thinking about these secret messages and trying her best to deduce who is sending them. 

The next note comes almost instantly. It reads:

That they can.

...She's not sure what to make of that.

Correct again. 

Wait, correct about what?

I've got communications established. 

I don't buy it.

You don't buy what?

That the Argona person is a pagoda.

It feels too easy.

But the handout wouldn't mention pagoda if we weren't going to meet one.

False.

The handout's taken from "Escape From Old Korvosa." All we know is that there's a pagoda in that adventure, not this one. 

I presume that the adventure doesn't have any rakshasa immortals either, but they were still in the handout.

Actually they weren't, but, uh, I think the pope's general point stands?

Paizo plants a thousand plot hooks and has the page count to use three.

So pagalaladas exist just as a smokescreen for the real rock shasas?

I don't know guys, I feel like if everyone's making a big deal of them, they're bound to come up.

You're saying that if it's on-screen, it's important?

I guess pretty much?

Our rakshasa was outed as a rakshasa on-screen.

If she's a pangolin, none of that was important.

I... think you put your finger on it there, Altronus. Seconded. 

If she's straightforwardly benign we have nothing to do in this scene. 

Would your characters be thinking along those lines?

Yes.

I still think that the handout wouldn't mention pagodas if we weren't going to meet one.

In-character, the Megapope wants to give everyone a chance. But the base rates on redeemed fiends are real low. He needs evidence.

And Glorio's story feels like someone making excuses to me.

I'm going to roll Sense Motive.

Glorio Arkona has 20 ranks in Bluff.

Well, in-character I think he's telling the truth!

Is your character not the least bit suspicious that out of character, where you aren't directly exposed to his exact words and expressions, Glorio is way less convincing?
