Trish

So, I’m going pretty basic this time. Human Mastermind Rogue.

MMS

Yeah, that’s pretty basic. High DEX, I assume?

Trish

Actually, I’m leaning into Charisma for this one. I got the Charlatan background, see — my guy used to be a professional con man.

MMS

Okay, interesting. “Used to be”? Has he gone straight?

Trish

Well, not by choice. Basically, through a sequence of wacky shenanigans, he has to pretend now that instead of a Rogue, he’s a Cleric, priest of a messenger god.

MMS

Like Hermes?

Trish

Kinda, yeah. There’s some more esoteric gods he quote-unquote “worships”, too, but the messenger god’s the main one.

MMS

Wait, how’d he go from being a regular charlatan to being a fake Cleric?

Trish

Long story. See, back home, his grandfather raised dogs…

[later]

Trish

…and as he uttered one final prayer, the hangman pulled the lever, and the floor dropped away… and then…

MMS

Yeah? What?

Trish

…an angel appeared.

[pause]

MMS

…I really hoped you weren’t gonna do this again.

Trish

See, I gave you that greatest of all treasures, which is Hope.

MMS

I’m too mad to be impressed. But I’m also too impressed to be mad.
