Required Spider Discipline 3
Target Area Local region (village, district, or guild)
Duration 1 Hour
Action Special
Cost 2 Mana
Effect Instead of speaking to locals or gathering information openly, you listen to the social vibrations of the world, the glances, the silences, the changed rhythms of conversation. After spending 1 day in a region, you may activate this power to passively gather a hidden truth.
  • Spend 1 hour observing your environment (marketplaces, taverns, corridors, courtyards, etc.).
  • Then roll Sense Motive + Spider Discipline vs. a flat difficulty set by the Storyteller (typical: 2–4).
  • On success, the Storyteller reveals a sensitive truth circulating quietly; one you would not be told directly. Examples: secret meetings, blackmail, betrayal, hidden alliances, missing persons, concealed agendas.
  • This may be used once per region per session.
