Message: <blockquote data-quote="dpdx" data-source="post: 1416143" data-attributes="member: 188">[many thanks for the hilarity, both for the treasureable "attacked by wild cormorants" story, and Oliver's "surprise" comment. I heart this PbP.][Listen: 7 + 5 = 12][Spot: 6 + 4 = 10]my dices am hot today...Fendric stares wide-eyed at the cormorant attack on Niccolo, but before he can grab his flail to subdue the horrid bird, Shavah has taken care of it.With an irritated but disaffected look on his face, waiting for the next "wave" of creatures, Fendric speaks into the wilderness at a volume more designed to inspire himself than to rouse anything nearby: "Is that the best you have? I've seen more ferocity from the Burgher's Petting Parlor! And if you're going to send us food, you can at least send it at a decent hour!"Fendric is obviously distracted, but not so much that he doesn't check to see if Niccolo is all right. Once that is confirmed, and the patrons settle back into sleep, he beckons Shavah over."That... was strange, may the Light Reveal Its Mystery. Thank you for dealing with it. Do the two of you have a moment to talk?Anyway, I've been thinking some about what the Ravast said, and that maybe we should have a look at one of the letters, on the inside. I thought perhaps we should look at one of the ones to be delivered overseas, far north of here, for as there to be a more plausible explanation if/when we can deliver it for it having been opened.I've trusted the Old Cavalier who sent us on our way, that this mission was true, ever since we began.Now it nags at me that at both of our stops, the day after our business is done, something awful happens. We deliver Exantrius' letter to Father Premule in Jance, only to find out that he is not there, and the next day, we nearly engage in violent confrontation with a passel of guards. We then deliver Exantrius' letter through Father Premule to the Visach, and the following morning, half our party leaves us, Shavah's garrison have been expelled from town, and Father Premule is abducted.Sometimes I fear we are the harbingers of plague, like the Ravast seems to think, and it frustrates me that however wise the Radiant Light saw fit to make me with regard to my Holy Service, I am a fool in the ways of the world."</blockquote>
