[QUOTE="Zarust, post: 4504157, member: 77769"] [sblock=ooc]Didn't realize how far behind I had fallen. Will try to cut and paste my way to catching up.[/sblock] [B]The Alley[/B] As Simon's gesture caused the carnival clown to race to the other end of the alley, Goran's index fingers extended on both hands as he saw that none of the circus performers had any real desire to pick on a single priest. Once the battered priest reached the safety of their gathering, Goran could not stop himself from making one last volley their way. [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]"That's right! Run you dogs, but Cauldron isn't big enough for you to hide from Kord. We will find you!"[/COLOR] Turning back to get a good look at the man, Goran's eyes are drawn to the symbol around the man's neck. While on the surface it appeared to be a standard marker of St. Cuthbert's faithful, Goran knew that it marked him as one of the brothers who focused on keeping the faithful untainted in heretical thoughts and practices. [i]He can't be long in the faith if a group of clowns almost got the better of him.[/i] Trying not to think about the serving wench in the Tankard, Goran extended his hand to the priest in greeting. [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]"I'm Goran. Sorry to see those circus freaks decided to take out their frustrations on you."[/COLOR] As Ruphus introduced himself to the others, Goran kept his eyes out in case the clowns brought more of their kind out of the alleyways and side streets between them and the Church to St. Cuthbert. [b]The Church[/b] Goran's posture did not relax until they reached the steps of the temple and as he read the writings above the oaken doors, he smiled to himself. While it had been three years since the day he first demanded entrance into the Temple of Kord, he could remember it like it happened to him this morning. [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]"And look at us now. Joined at the hip and I can't get you out of my head for more than a handspan of time.
