>no persuasion check needed bc Yulya didnt lie
from PHB:
>“When you attempt to influence someone or a group of people with tact, social graces, or good nature, the DM might ask you to make a Charisma (Persuasion) check. Typically, you use persuasion when acting in good faith, to foster friendships, make cordial requests, or exhibit proper etiquette. Examples of persuading others include convincing a chamberlain to let your party see the king, negotiate peace between warring tribes, or inspiring a crowd of townsfolk.”

persuasion is not about lying but acting in good faith. Yulya tried to coax the roadmaster into doing something for us he most likely wouldnt under normal circumstances. that is to spread the message to Gundren or someone who knows him that we turned back. that was the point. i think its a perfectly fine example of the use of persuasion.
