"Whats the matter with you? Didn't you already spend a whole cursed day walking? You might think I had an easier time of it riding a pony, but the blisters and bruises on my backside would tell you different! So beg your pardon, but I'll be fine where I am stirring the stew and salivating over a hot meal!" Grunts "Anyway... if you'd like some Ale I did happen to buy a small keg off a trader this morning before we boarded that thrice-damned riverboat. I can't promise it'll be good, but even human ale is better than none sometimes... no offense to these monks you speak of, but tasting is believing and Chival is a long way off." Meanwhile Ordechai Seems to take a fancy to the magic stones Malic is using and somberly steps closer to examine them. Ordechai: "Tell me Malic, how is it I have not seen such stones before? Surely a merchant could make a fortune selling them!"Malic: Shrugs "They might, but they'd have to negotiate with the priests of Tharmekhûl to get their hands on them first. Would you know of whom I speak as a half dwarf Ordechai?" Ordechai: (Knowledge: Religion check, DC 13: = 13, Success) "I've heard dwarves speak of him as Moradins assistant, the tender of the forge, god of the furnace and the flame." Malic: Nods "The firestones are their secret means to light a forge when fuel grows scarce. The runework and enchantment involved isn't easy and difficult to put a price on. In truth you could probably buy a years supply of firewood for the cost of creating these stones, but they're nice to have out in the open as a substitute for your usual cook fire because I can extinguish these flames just as quickly as I create them with another command word at the first sign of trouble."Ordechai: "I notice you bear a holy symbol for Moradin around your neck, is that why they let you take the stones?" Malic: Frowns and unconsciously grabs ahold of the holy symbol as though fearing it might vanish when attention is drawn to it. "I wouldn't say I'm borrowing them... they were a token of thanks. As a cleric of Moradin I managed to recover a precious relic stolen from one of our holy forges many years ago." Ordechai: "You're a cleric?" Malic: Looks at Ordechai suddenly embittered. "Not anymore, and that is all I will say about that."   [Kryslogious: What do you do?]  </blockquote>
