Rhodes watches as the Autumn lady draws herself up, screeching her accusations in an unnerving wail. The keeper of the keys retorts, but the quiver in her voice shows she is faltering. Around, he spots the eyes of others on the growing verbal joust. The Flowering Courtier takes a step towards Lucifer, passively, his mantle spreading a faint scent of pollen around the table.
"Lucifer, stop - please." His words ring out just as clear as hers, though lacking her supernatural edge. I need anyone listening to hear this, and after that performance we are hard to miss. "We do not know the nature of the gift, or the pledge. Holding the keys to an Ashen holding would warrant a pledge to ensure the Ashen Court embodies all it's qualities. If the former Autumn Queen held this to be by Mantle, then Queen Ingrid would break her pledge by handing you those keys. The consequences for a Courtly hold are unlikely to be trivial." The Courtier looks back and forth between the women.
"With the embodiment of Autumn comes the responsibility of its duties. If that is the choice of the holder of the pledge, would you demand a Courtly Queen to break that word, the words our own Court watches so keenly for flaws and errors?" His voice is far more questioning than accusatory, as if swaying all nearby to follow the logic.

Intent: To demonstrate importance of superior Mantle to win the keys! A true Lord of Autumn.
NOTE: +1 for Specialization from Hedgespun coat
NOTE: +2 dice for Autumn Mantle
NOTE: 9-again from Flowering
Rhodes' Dominance = 14 (6 + 8)
Guile = 3
Nerve = 6
I had to reroll after I added my WP twice (didn't realise the tickbox added the 3 dice as well), and of course the real roll came up much worse! Only 1 success after Guile - I guess reason has no use any more...
