Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joshua Randall" data-source="post: 9592860" data-attributes="member: 7737">Commentary:The Moonstar Tavern is just across the cobblestone street from the front entrance of Saven’s cathedral.I absolutely love that the den of sin is directly across the street from the house of God. (And yes, I know that happens in real life, too.)We “sip on some light wine” because we are “following our father’s rules for keeping [our] senses sharp while spellcasting.”Our father died shortly after we were born, so we definitely didn’t learn that rule from him firsthand. Our mother forbade us to learn magic, so we probably didn’t learn that rule from her. Does this mean we learned Landor’s rules for non-inebriated spellcasting from Landor’s spellbooks? If so -- What kind of weirdo writes that kind of thing down in his spellbooks?!We do however order two bowls of greasy stew.[…]We order yet more stew….There is nothing in this scene about money changing hands so I am going to proclaim that all three bowls are FREE STEW!Outside we can see “scores” of people entering the cathedral, but “it’s too dark to see if they are actually worshippers.”Who the heck else would be going into the cathedral at night in so many numbers? A bunch of priests there to elect the next pope?!Rufyl mentally warns us that the man is a paladin who is wondering if we are an enemy. Thank you, Rufyl. That is extremely helpful information that you volunteered without being asked.No, I’m not being sarcastic![We] twist around to face a tall, muscular man in his late twenties. His hair is meticulously barbered, as is his clipped military moustache.Whomever this guy is, he has perfect hair AND a moustache. We immediately experience such profound jealousy it is like a physical blow.</blockquote>
