[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7142837, member: 6855545"] [B] THE PRIEST In response to the man’s questions, the priest elucidates that he has heard rumors about a healer doing the gods’ work in Lavender’s Alley, although he did not believe it at first. The news struck him with concern when he first heard them, but he paid no mind to them as he learned that the man could really fix the sick and diseased. It was not uncommon to find skilled herbalists capable of curing the most regular afflictions. Concoctions like the one Arvid brought with him, though, were a different matter. Such secrets were only used to induce a deeper bond with the gods, to cure the ailments of the soul. They were not meant to be sold, gifted or used indiscriminately. Such mixtures could bring a man to accept subtle commands, to obey them without taking notice, and even to confess deep truths and deliver dangerous secrets. THE LAWGIVER Arvid’s words seem to pick the Lawgiver’s interest, since he bends over the table and finally chews on a fruit. “Ritual? Of what kind?” – his manners aren’t any less tense, but at least he seems focused now. “No, no, my friend, they are very much alive…” – he hesitates for a moment, marking his words and thoughts. “I wouldn’t take the Jarl’s right to pass judgement, even though the responsibility has often fallen to me, with his condition and Einar’s concerns, as you know too well…” – he pauses for a moment, a rapacious glimmer passing through his eyes. “Alas, your request would not come to pass… If only it depended on me, my friend, I’d ask of you to see them, in truth. But last night someone broke in and took them away. From under my zealous watch… And I suspect the responsible for the deed poses a threat to all of us.” – Arvid can see the man shaking off restlessness and fear as he continues. “These lads have been involved with a certain healer from the south, a man of resources, commanding great knowledge and charisma among the poor men of Grandael. I fear he might have tried to save the youths after inducing them to do the deed.” – he shakes his head in denial and disapproval. “Please, my friend, understand my predicament. These words can’t leave these halls. Alas, I had to share such things with you, since I’ve come to fear that such a man might be gathering forces to attack land owners, workers, and even the Jarl.” – he falls silent, supposedly pondering his concerns.
