Zerxus Zone of Truth

MARISHA (PATIA): "Are you ready?"
LUIS (ZERXUS): "I'm not ready. Because it isn't just about this memory, it's about a number of things that we need to all put on the table. I want us all to speak the truth. Plainly. We are the Ring of Brass and they use that name to mock us. But we know what that really means. I believe some of them actually do as well. The time is not for secrets anymore." I cast Zone of Truth.
SAM: Oh!
BRENNAN: Anyone who wishes may resist, or you may-
LUIS (ZERXUS): I choose to fail. "Please, friends."
SAM: Oh, you choose to fail.
LUIS (ZERXUS): I choose to fail my own Zone of Truth. It's not the time.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): I rolled a natural 20.
BRENNAN: You resist.
LOU: Will people know if you fail? Or if you attempt to fight it?
LUIS (ZERXUS): I'll know if they fail.
BRENNAN: You will know if they fail.
LOU: What's the DC?
LUIS: The DC is-
BRENNAN: I believe 18?
LUIS (ZERXUS): It's 18. Charisma 18.
TRAVIS: Why does it matter? Why does it matter?
MARISHA: Charisma?
LUIS (ZERXUS): Yes.
MARISHA: I just want to see.
SAM: Saving throw?
MARISHA (PATIA): Hm. Hm. That's poetic. Natural 1.
BRENNAN: Natural 1.
MARISHA (PATIA): A little shook.
BRENNAN: Patia fails. Zone of Truth. Zone of Truth. You've failed. Success. What did Nydas get?
LOU (NYDAS): Nydas will fail.
BRENNAN: Nydas will fail.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): I rolled a 30.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Do I know who resisted and who chose to fail?
BRENNAN: Well, if you know who failed, it seems like you would know who didn't.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Yes, I would know who didn't.
BRENNAN: So let me just double check here.
LUIS (ZERXUS): I'm just curious if I know who resisted-
BRENNAN: Yeah, you know whether each creature succeeds or fails. So you know that they have succeeded, which is information in and of itself because you know people can submit to the spell.
LUIS (ZERXUS): I know.
BRENNAN: Yeah.
LUIS (ZERXUS): The Zone persists. "What are you hiding?"
AABRIA (LAERRYN): "I do not like being compelled."
LUIS (ZERXUS): "You're not being compelled. You're being-"
AABRIA (LAERRYN): "No, that's what the spell is."
LOU (NYDAS): "Zerxus! The city is under attack! I understand your desire for clarity, but we need to be working together. If people would like to withhold certain personal information, that should be all right. I apologize that this is not a moment in which we can all be forthright, but there is business that needs to be done. And I apologize that it cannot be handled in a matter that you enjoy."
LUIS (ZERXUS): Zerxus stops and looks at Nydas. "You're my oldest friend."
LOU (NYDAS): "And you are mine."
LUIS (ZERXUS): "I owe you a great deal and I don't think I ever recall you speaking to me in this tone."
LOU (NYDAS): "No."
LUIS (ZERXUS): "If it means that much to you for me to let this go, than I will. Let's move forward then together."
AABRIA (LAERRYN): "We are here."
LUIS (ZERXUS): "We are here."
AABRIA (ZERXUS): "Do whatever you need to do."
BRENNAN: You move forward, the Zone standing. Your friend's words cut, but, I think, carry more value than gold. Because you know that your friend speaks, and I will say without having to roll, that you know that your friend's failure was intentional and he wished you to know that he spoke the truth.
