Walkthrough
- 1Respond to Janis Wakefield: This is an Intimidation 1 check. The dialogue option is _”Defend”_. You can use Focus to increase your Intimidation to 2 for a 90%+ chance of success.
- 2Respond to Deneb Osborne’s Accusation of Betrayal: Deneb will accuse the Prince of betrayal. You can attempt a Deduction 2 check, but the response is largely unimportant. When Deneb makes his accusation, you have several dialogue checks. The most effective options are:
- Psychology 2: _”He knows there’s no way I can prove it.”_
- 3Persuasion 2: _”If I wanted to destroy them, I wouldn’t have come alone.”_
- 4Rhetoric 3: _”We would have never dared to attack them.”_
- 5_”Hazel spent months preparing for that party.”_

- _”The agreement about the blood trade.”_
- 7Persuasion 2: _”Of course I know it!”_

- _”A neighborhood in Boston.”_
Winning the Confrontation: You must pass at least two out of the four stages. If you make the deal or purposefully take the loss, and have passed at least two stages, you will win the confrontation and gain approximately 25 XP.
