Okay, this is my side of the story
I’m a new magus traveling on my way to seek to join a new covenant. I am almost there, I am camping in the woods with my companion and two grogs. Then the cops come and hassle us for no reason , two rangers/foresters/wardens/whatever, asking us if we are murderers and if the friends we are visiting are also murderers.
This how the order of events went down. They initiated the hostilities. I fast cast Wizard’s Leap to give myself some space and safety. One of them stabs at where I was with a spear, striking my one grog in the throat and killing him on the spot. We fight to defend ourselves. Simon, the companion traveling with me reacts with much wrath upon seeing his friend slain, so he responds by granting no quarter and no mercy. The other ranger fled in fear, suffering only a few minor injuries, and did not observe the outcome of the battle.
I made sure all the evidence was destroyed, and when the count came to the covenant to investigate, his own man admitted that they initiated the hostilities, and he ruled it an unfortunate incident (they had no idea I was there, they just sought the advice of the “scholarsâ€).
So, situation satisfied, no problems there. However, there is one question that lingers in my mind. The only one home at the covenant was a very shrewd Mentem maga, and she managed to deal with the count and the investigation very effectively. Too effectively in fact.
After the matter was settled and I woke up from my nap, the maga whom I am hoping to be my new covenant mate comes to admonish me and accuses me of putting a “spin†on my side of the story and not giving her all of the facts. She tells me that the information she obtained from the minds of my minions revealed that I was not being fully forthright with her. I asked her who she believed more, a fellow magus or a mundane minion. She said she trusted the information she pulled directly from their minds. That’s twice she admits it . I say that they remember things wrong, and the situation is settled so there is no more need for worry.
Now, my question is this. Was I scried upon? She admitted twice that she used magical means to obtain information about my personal affairs. I didn’t think of it right away, but reflecting upon it later, I think I have been violated! I am not planning to bring up charges or anything, but I may use my forgiving nature to gain favor and influence. But if I did want to make a case, do I have one?
