[QUOTE="driver8, post: 1452263, member: 17559"] Lord Lutescu smiles. "You honor me and my village by your attendance. Know that you have the thanks of this village and this Church. By ancient right and tradition, the Church of Traladara has formed groups of Hunters to deal with extraordinary and supernatural threats to our communities. Rarely however, have we had to form Hunters of Demons. Their kind has fortunately been scarcely seen in our land since the time of King Halav some two thousand years ago. You formation is something not often seen." The cleric rises and stands before his throne. "But to the point as to why you are here.
