Sanz paused for a minute. His initial desire was of course to respond 'no' to the question. However, it had been years since he had been in this town, and he didn't know his way around that well anymore. That, added onto the fact that he had arrived here half-delirious, meant he was probably...
"I'll . . . keep that in mind."
Okay, now he really needed to find out who had signed that form.
"I--should probably head back home before I get you into more trouble."
@Sherwood
Unfortunately, Knowledge local is about the only thing that would help there. You'll have to do some hunting. First off though: you'll have to figure out how to get out of the new quarter that you're in. The priest said he was in the crescent quarter
The priest bowed his head and when it came back up there was a smile once more, though his eyes were pained
"I shall pray for your safety child. May Heironous guide your steps."
@JayTee
You know that the rift opened roughly fifty years ago, and it only took about five for the chosen to pour through and subvert the entire continent. The chosen have some manner of advantage man-to-man, though you don't know what it is.
@Sherwood
You don't know jack. Apparently you...
The head priest sat back and crossed his arms, his expression difficult to read.
"You put me in a difficult position child. To oppose the chosen is nigh-suicidal, I have seen more children of Heironous fall before them than I care to recount. And yet if you have already gone upon the path to...
The priest's face immediately changed from a welcoming smile into a look of despair. The suddenness of it all was jarring to see.
"If you ever are confronted by them child, I advise you to lay down your arms. Nothing good has come of battle with them. Our only saving grace is that we are so...
kk, just checking. I get worried when the thread continues for a little while without someone
Just a note to you two, I am attempting to throw more details into how I describe NPC's and locations. I've found normally I leave them fairly bland unless I design it in such a way that a detail is...
A questioning look passes the priest's eyes, but he simply nods and makes a motion with his hand towards the stairwell
"Of course child, please come with me to the confessional."
The priest leads the group up the stairwell, to the second floor. The second floor has many more windows...
Inu simply offers a very shallow bow in Karen's direction in response to the statement. A few minutes later, a few pairs of footsteps could be heard from the same marble staircase the young woman had gone up earlier. The same woman had one arm on the shoulders of a young man, who couldn't be...
Inu shook his head with a smile
"I revere no member of the pantheon in particular. My reference is to the beauty of nature alone. I have offered prayers to Obad-hai and Elhonna on sparse occasions, but otherwise no. Still, it is rude to enter someone's house without showing proper respect."
Inu offered a polite bow to the place of offering, but did not offer any prayers. He tilted his head quizzically at Karen's statement
"You find joy by speaking to your god?"
Half of that statement was true. He definitely needed to find out who signed that paper. But he wasn't necessarily sure they were on his side. He could think of more than a few people who would like to have him owe them a debt.
"Um . . . on a scale of 1 to 10, how illegal is all of this...
The first one Karen met was a fairly young woman, probably around the age of 14 or 15, likely having just taken her vows. She had a flaming pile of red hair atop her head, cropped short as such that if she wasn't wearing the gown of the clergy she could have easily been mistaken for a boy. She...
Cross gave a frown and turned around, walking to the other side of the island
"Rocs, Velocidromes, Cascavs, any manner of nocturnal creature. But the one thing they have in common is none of them are friendly."
After about 20 minutes of traveling and following traditional holy signs, the party arrives at the temple of Heironous. For a temple of the god of justice and valor, it is surprisingly small, only boast two stories and not much larger than many of the inns in town. A couple of clergy go in and...
(Karen, please make either a gather information check, a knowledge(local) check, or a knowledge(religion) check to find the temple area. Rine, if you are so inclined to help, you can make either a gather information check or knowledge(local) check)
