[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1677029, member: 13098"] Lord Tannerson leans back and studies the group for a few moments. Then, quietly, he says, "The Road to the Gods, or the Road of the Gods, whichever it is called, it is something I would like to see myself, one day. I do not know of many people that can claim to have travelled that road. But, the Shrine of Tranquility lies down that road, if stories are to be believed. Only those with a good heart can reach the Shrine. The stories say that if you meditate within those halls, if you open yourself up to whatever is there, then you can feel your soul being cleansed. You will be uplifted and all of your transgressions forgiven. The Gods created the Shrine. But, nobody knows exactly why. It is said that Crill and her companions once ventured there to retrieve Lord Greerson's sword. But, they were on a mission to retrieve, not to seek their own enlightenment. So, there is little said in the histories of what waits in the Shrine. Little except for the handful of people that claim to have journeyed down the road. If your hearts led you to seek that path, then I would not forbid it. Enlightenment is a noble course indeed." Lord Tannerson sighs and looks to Brother Oceas. "If you have any ideas to pursue in the hunt for whatever is murdering people, you would be welcome to contribute. Perhaps you have thought of something we have not? Otherwise, I think it better if the group of you pursue some other task. You have done well to show that you are not cold mercenaries, but these murders have made it easy for rumors to swirl around you. If you leave, and the murders continue, then those rumors will fade away. I think that would be a good thing since you are, at your heart, good people. Brusque perhaps, and a trifle confrontational at times, but still good. If there is not much you can do to help, then it might work better if you were not present and the target for rumor." "The gnolls are hundreds of miles Southwest of here and do not easily pose a threat to any of our interests. We intend to send a small group to investigate what is happening there because the people of that area are scattered and poorly organized. If we can help them, then we will. If the group of you would like to volunteer for that task, it will be easy to arrange. As it is, most of our people are eager to volunteer to help the Thurgon against the Giants and it will be much harder to find a small group to volunteer to see what the gnolls are up to." Lord Tannerson stops and smiles at Tormal. "It is wise to avoid offending Lady Valoria. Besides stories, legends and myths, she also distributes power on behalf of the other Gods. Those that offend her often find the path to self-realization slower to tread. I remember when I first heard stories being told of myself. At the time it seemed a big thing and I was proud.
