He says and his eyes twinkle.  He finishes his drink, belches loudly as he pats his stomach and orders each of you another drink for when you are finished with your current ones.  He gets up to leave as the bard argues with a nearby listener.No, the Salventi were associated with snakes because they were great shapechangers and transformed themselves during the Battle of Dark Wood, where they beat the Lombard forces to a standstill.  When they were in snake form they breathed fire which scorched the Lombard armor and their flashing eyes could turn a man to stone.  But Carl Lombard earned his place as head of the his Great House by his bravery in arms and he was immune to the dark sorceries of the Salventi snake people since he was blessed by the gods themselves...The priest slams his mug down angrily and stands his pudgy body with enough force to throw his chair back several feet.  His voice booms through the Pub, "Oh for Kord's sake!  Carl Lombard would have sooner run through the City naked than ever set foor in a church.  And though he was decent with a sword, he favored assasination and blackmail, and had his marshall lead the armies at the Battle of Dark Wood.  There was only one Salventi family member left by then because of the Lombard use of poisons and garrotte and he survived by using dark arts to shed his humanity, not by becoming some kind of snake man.  Who ever heard of a villian turning himself into a snake?  How would that help?  And before the Lombard's crossed the paths of the Salventi, the Salventi crest was a white stag, and the story on why THAT changed would make a better tale than a battle that ended in stalemate.  You, sir, are a horrible storyteller!"The patrons stand stunned before Father Louis blushes, excuses himself and walks out the door.Ahem... errr... how about we switch to music instead.  I have written some songs the like of which you've never heard.Abe's Pub quickly goes back to normal.</blockquote>
