[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5929126, member: 52403"] [b]Don't call my girl a dog ...[/b] A few hours previously: Sayuri followed by Zordlan and Pringle make it to the city of Ardal; they are saddle sore and tired but it’s only late afternoon. They are met at the gate buy some guards who enquire to their business in this fair city. Sayuri acting as spokeswoman for the group talks to the guards saying they are on a pilgrimage and would like to know where the temple of Desna is located. A young guardsman blown over by the Half Elf Sorcereress quickly volunteers to show them the way. Accepting graciously they are led into the ancient city and are shown the way through the winding streets to the temple district. Here they are shown to the steps of the Temple of Desna where they thank their young guide who is more than happy to watch Sayuri walk up the stairs to the temple doors. Walking up the stairs the doors are wide open; upon entering there is a single tone that Sayuri is sure comes from the alter while the other two hardly notice it at all. There is a scurry of activity as the high priest is advised and a priest meets them to direct them to him. They are swiftly ushered into the sitting room for the high priest who looks to be a kindly appearing old man who is still spry with a twinkle in his eye. Coming forward to shake their hand warmly he greets them all as old friends to the amusement of the group; then asking to see their tattoo’s the group finally come to the realization of why they are being treated so well.
