Arachne
When she woke up, the ninja barely moved from her seat, simply nodding.
"Good morning. How was your night?"

"It was good, very restful." She said.

Arachne
The Spider nodded, folding her arms. "The would be killer didn't try anything during the night. This lowers my suspicions of your staff member, at least for the time being. Please call the one among them you trust the most, both to be able to protect you, and to be loyal", she requested.

"Alright." She said reshoing herself and going to do so.

Arachne
The ninja got up, transforming once more into a maid before following along with her. 3 (Ef) in Shapeshifter (Shape Shifting) to turn back into a human maid disguise AN 10.
1 in Speed to keep up with her.

She goes to her head maid a woman with long blonde hair and wearing a bindfold.
"Megan, I need you to stay by my side for now. Someone is making an attempt on my life, and I need to be protected while my friend here investigates."
"Understood milady." She said drawing a platinum sword from her cane radiating holy power. The very aura literally forces you back to your normal form.

Arachne
The Dark elf paused, amazed.
"You... dispelled my transformation merely by drawing your blade. Incredible. How did you do that?" she asked, curious.

"In another life I was an adventurer myself... Now I am merely a humble maid." The blind woman said. "This sword is forged from a relic of that past."

Arachne
"I am immune to countless forms of detections and spells meant to figure out my true nature, on top of being highly resistant to magic in general. That 'relic' of yours may be closer to a major artifact. Color me quite impressed", she remarked.
"But forgive me if I do not offer my trust right off the bat despite that of your mistress. I wish to make sure hte one assigned to her protection does not harbour ill intents towards her", she said, attempting to read her mind to ensure she is truly loyal to her mistress. 18 in Master Spy (Mesmerism, Read Thoughts) in an attempt to ensure that she is loyal.

You fail to read her mind... at all. The defenses are too great.

Arachne
Arachne's eyes widened in surprise. This woman...
"You undo my transformation without effort and I completely fail to read your mind? ...Just... who are you?" she asked, frowning.
"Countess... I hope your trust in this woman is indeed well-deserved, because I do not think I have the means to ascertain her loyalty. That being said, if she is indeed as trustworthy as you believe, then I suspect very few could match her in power. As long as she is not the assassin, you could hardly be in safer hands, I'd wager."

"I trust her." Celestia said. "With all my being."

Arachne
"Very well. Then I leave her in your care", the ninja said. "I will have a word with Osmond and have a look around the fortress. If it proves unfruitful, I will return to the city. If the assassin is not here, they will likely be there", she said, leaving to find the driver. 6 in Intelligence to locate the man.

You find him in the stables reshoeing some horses.

Arachne
Remaining outside the stables, Arachne simply searched the man's mind to look for any signs or hints of potential disloyalty, or anything else hinting at the man being potentially a threat to the countess' life. 18 in Master Spy (Mesmerism, Read Thoughts) in an attempt to ensure that he isn't our would-be assassin.
