  "description": "Speak with the monsters: a fresh reaction roll with the speaker's CHA modifier.\n\nAn encounter must be open. Encounters begin from wandering checks, keyed\nareas, or the referee spawn commands. Any number of re-rolls is legal, and a\nhostile turn cuts the conversation short.\n\nModes:\n    `encounter`\n\nRejections:\n    - `session.command.wrong_mode` - no encounter is open.\n    - `encounter.none_active` - a second check behind the mode gate, not\n      reachable through normal play.\n    - `encounter.parley.mid_pursuit` - no talking while being chased.\n    - `session.command.unknown_member` - `character_id` names no party member.\n    - `session.command.member_incapacitated` - the speaker cannot act.\n\nEvents:\n    `ReactionRolledEvent`, and a\n    `StanceChangedEvent` when the\n    stance shifts. An attacks result opens battle at once\n    (`BattleStartedEvent` and what\n    follows). Otherwise the encounter round closes with the monsters' beat.",
