She says the party must exploit his weakness to get by. Before she can fully explain, the party must pass an ability check to keep speaking quietly to her: | ||
* {{Dialogue option|''Concentrate on speaking softly and without emotion.''|roll=Charisma|dc=15}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Think two steps ahead, plotting out your queries in advance.''|roll=Intelligence|dc=15}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Focus your efforts on formulating concise questions.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=15}} | |||
After passing the check, if asked how to deal with the Archivist, she says he fears authority figures. With a Persuasion check (DC 20), she says he particularly fears Verillius Receptor, a High Inquisitor of Zariel who has official permission to audit Raphael's collection. Verillius' true form is so ghastly and mind-scarring that she takes on guises when she comes to visit. The party can exploit this by pretending to be that guise. If Hope fails to get out the name, then a successful use of {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}} (DC 10) can be used on the Archivist to reveal the name as well. | |||
