"A gold royal?" Anniston says to the bookseller with dismay, "I am on a pilgrimage seeking enlightenment and I am willing to pay a fair price, but a gold royal seems a high price to pay. I humbly beg you to come down in your price for a fellow sojourner of the Light. I am happy to pay 60...

Anniston looks up from browsing books in an out-of-the-way corner of the bookshop. He is somewhat alarmed when he realizes that he has been browsing and reading books of the Light for longer than he expected (one hour's worth of browsing). He wonders if perhaps some of his shipmates have left...

Anniston enjoys tagging along with the party, going where they want to go. He will buy an empty book, pens, ink, food, drink, some books on meditation and theology, and visit the cathedral.

To Canaan: I hope you will respond at some point in the game thread to my post 75 so we can clear up anything that might have changed since the discussion on religion in this thread. I understand if any "clarifications" need to be made. To All: Please consider that Anniston does take his...

I'm also in CST. I'll check the boards in the morning before I go to work. Sometimes I have time to send a quick post in the morning. I generally have time to read and respond in the evening a couple of times. I usually go to bed around 10-11pm but there are exceptions. Weekends are open and...

Jaroth's suggestion of a walk into the town center sounds good to Anniston. Anniston generally sticks with the group.

Yes I had wondered about the religous angle. I would probably play Anniston a little more aggressively, but I decided (for the convenience of party unity) to play him more in the role of good-natured evangalist rather than intolerant witch hunter, especially given his current standing in his...

J. Alexander, What is the meaning of "Amster" which you use as the title of your entries in the game thread?

Anniston spot check = 18

Anniston pays the fee and carefully writes "Anniston" in the book. As he is writing, he scans up the ledger to see if anyone else from the ship has left and what they might have declared (or how much they paid, if it is an unexpectedly large amount). He appears dressed in pilgrim's robes with...

"My name is Anniston. I have nothing to declare. I will most likely return to the ship this evening, before morning in any case."

"Ah, excellent, Jaroth, it is well you made this clarification, for I found the lack of a statement regarding the old religion in your initial declaration to be confusing. The confusion, of course, was caused by the flawed assumption that you were a practitioner of the old ways. But now I...

"Thank you, Jaroth, for your honesty. Each man must find his own path. Free will is both our curse and the source of our greatest blessing." "As to you joining us for Illumination, nothing would give me greater joy. If you decide to come I ask only that you bring an open heart. Perhaps then...

While the group is preparing to disembark, Anniston will find an opportunity to talk to Jaroth privately, "I'm glad you will walk with us into town. We have not had much of a chance to talk. I notice that you have not joined us for morning Illumination. I hope you do not feel unwelcome. Do...

Oh, yes, I get the emails, but they are from the previous night (they cutoff around 11:pm or so). I can read the board (and usually respond) in the morning and the evening, so I have already read all of the posts by the time I see the emails at work. No worries, I don't think I'll have trouble...

Over the last 2.5 weeks, Anniston will attempt to detect evil and use sense motive on the passengers and crew. He is using this ability to help him get a sense of each person's character. I do not expect the detecting of evil to result in a confrontation (well, depending on the result...), but...

"Thank you, Father Vadric, I hope to be worthy of your kind words."

Answering Jaroth, "I am guided by the Light. It leads me to the North. There I hope to find enlightenment and... a path. I hope you will join us in the mornings to celebrate the sacrament of Illumination."

"Thank you, Father, we are blessed by your presence. If there is anything I can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to ask. I am at your service." Speaking Illum to Jaroth, "You mentioned earlier that you are a scholar. By traveling to the north are you returning home, or perhaps you...

Wow, what an explosive start! My employer blocks enworld, so I'm limited to morning and evening posts. I'll do my best to catch up with things at least once per day. I'm looking forward to it!
