[QUOTE="dpdx, post: 1761924, member: 188"] Fendric arrives downstairs just as Raven introduces himself to Aerda. Sitting across from Shavah, Fendric picks up the conversation from there: "[COLOR=PaleTurquoise]Hmm? Oh, yes, the letters. And the ring. Pelor Preserve Us in the Light, but I have had the same doubts creeping to the forefront of my mind as you have, Raven. The very same, so I suppose it matters not where you believe yourself to stand between good and evil, to see things as they are. Anyway, I can tell all of you two things that I believe with certainty as regards the letters and the ring: while the ring -was- tainted, the letters certainly are not. I verified them, with the guidance of my god, and I have no doubt that even if they did elude that detection, that a letter, even if magicked, would be no match for the Jury of Sages. But many answers elude me still: Why, as you point out, did Exantrius wear that accursed ring? Was he who he says he was? What do these letters say? And why, oh why, does conflict and calamity follow us like a bad rash?[/COLOR]" Fendric looks up to see a barmaid set a plate of rabbit, bread and a mug before him, with a trepidation worthy of one whose job it is to feed the balrog each morning. Mumbling a sheepish apology, he reaches for coin, producing 5 silver for her before he returns to his conversation. "[COLOR=PaleTurquoise]So, yes, I was hoping to get at least one of those nagging questions answered today, May the Light Reveal It To Be So. Pelor may prefer to work mysteriously, but His Humble Servant likes his circumstances in the open, where he can see them.[/COLOR]" Fendric takes a bite of rabbit and begins work on his meal, occasionally stealing a glance at Hiritus and Shavah, and listening to find out if either one of them could hate him any more than they already must. [Sense Motive on H & S: [color=darkorange]19 +4 = 23[/color]. They spent the night together, didn't they? Hiritus probably thinks he's fallen because of it.] [[I][COLOR=PaleGreen]Yes, THAT's good, Fendric: referring to yourself as a separate person will most definitely prevent them from believing you to be a doddering half-wit who cannot form cohesive sentences. The acolytes dying in Hedrogura would be so proud...[/COLOR][/I]] Eyes downcast, Fendric continues his meal. [/QUOTE]
