> not lying
Yulya is giving hypotheticals to a scenario that she knows aren't how it actually happened. That's deception.
> so how would Ashley have handled this? oh yeah 19cha + deception does it even matter what she says?
It's +6 I think, so with a 13DC she could roll 7 or more and say whatever she wants within reason.
Freya, on the other hand, in addition has expertise. So Bear's team can straight up lie to everyone without much of a chance of failure. Natural 1 doesn't mean anything in this situation. She also has other interesting skills that make her impervious to deception for all but fringe cases. So even Ashley knows better than to lie to her. This road master has pretty good stats, +3.
I haven't decided how expertise can be gained yet.
> well his dragon story doesnt make sense either. if a dragon had spooked the rothé they would have dragged the kids to death and if we had seen the dragon we would have reported it as first thing.
I think you need to look between the lines there.
Let me give you another hint, certain stories will be mutually beneficial to you and the guards. So listen and picture what he's saying and doing and offering.
