Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guilt Puppy" data-source="post: 1783366" data-attributes="member: 6521">"That is a good message, and one they would have done well to follow in Bethel, when we first met." He looks to Niccolo at that, seeming to think it a plain statement. "It's open war there, now, you know. Between the Knights of Heironeous and the secular guard... Before long, I imagine the same folks who took Hedrogura will be involved. They're an interesting topic -- a wide variety of militias united under no clear banner, with no clear leader. They're being paid well, that much is known, but who's paying? Yet to be determined. That has me suspicious, I assure you."He smiles."And before you think me too all-knowing, I only know this because I've been visiting military folk on a regular basis lately, ever since the first signs of rebellion in Dalmar. I recommend you make a habit of the same -- it's quite a bit more informative than the common gossip.""To put it simply: If, through the ring, Dartath can read minds, then merely bringing it into your presence will reveal a great deal -- your intentions, your plans, and most importantly, the fact that you have met me. Which is bad for me, because at the moment, he's still leaving a number of things -- clues, if you will -- out in the open, under the assumption that I'm not looking.But worse for you: If he knows you've met me, he's apt to decide that you are no longer useful or helpful to him, and possibly dangerous. In which case he will do whatever he deems necessary to neutralize you... Which might simply mean finding someone else to deliver the letters, or the message they contain, or whatever it is he wants for you to be doing. Or it might mean arranging your death -- I should note that the ring was sent out of Bethel on the hand of an assassin. I have a feeling that this had more to do with her non-lethal skills, that she might sneak up on you... But I expect that there was a contingency in mind, as well."</blockquote>
