[QUOTE="dpdx, post: 2513818, member: 188"] Hiritus (Gather Info.): [COLOR=DarkOrange]9 +3 = 12[/COLOR]; Fendric (Gather Info.): [COLOR=SlateGray]1 +4 = 5 ([i]fumble[/i])[/COLOR]. Fendric, his holy symbol of Pelor dangling haphazardly from his neck, his humility stifled in his pocket, gets a cold, borderline hostile reception from the Despians he talks to. Hiritus, on the other hand, not only saves Fendric from several possible beatings and/or arrests, but also manages to smooth over enough locals to actually [I]do[/I] the thing they set out to do. Escaping the lynch mob, Hiritus and Fendric find themselves at the bar, where Nurthk and Shavah are returning from the bar. "[COLOR=Wheat]'[I]In the Holy Name of the Radiant Light we request information on Thedoric?[/I]' Are you insane, Brother?[/COLOR]" Fendric, dejected and chastised, surrenders to Hiritus' berating. "[COLOR=PaleTurquoise]I... apologize, and thank you for your intervention, Brother. I cannot justify my technique, so I will not.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=Wheat]Fair enough. Your apology to me is accepted.
