Vadim also examines the books in his turn. Though he's familiar with the religions of both Urgathoa and Zon-Kuthon he has little to offer beyond what Dannis has already told the group.
At Besharn's outburst, the archeologist quirks an eyebrow at the mercurial half-orc and takes a slow breath - not of impatience, but to slow his own rapid thoughts and clear his thinking. "I think we're getting in too much of a hurry about everything, and getting ourselves all tied up in knots as a result.
"While the Professor wanted these books delivered, his plain wish was that we stay with the Lady Kendra for at least a month. Also, the investigations he wrote of in his journal span a great deal of time. These things indicate to me that though there is some urgency to his investigation and to the delivery of the books, neither is a matter to be rushed. Also, he was a man of fairly formidable talent; though not a fighter by trade, he lived a long life and spent much of it in dangerous situations. If we rush pell-mell into a situation that ended his life, we might find ourselves joining him and leaving his work undone. Finally, though this town is small the law is a strong presence here. We've already met a barrister - a pseudo barrister at least - and we know the sheriff has real authority. The Lady Kendra calls this her home, and she already suffers more than her share of prejudice. I think we should do what we can to carry out the Professor's wishes without setting the town against her. Or against us, as we've given our word to stay with her for at least a month."
