Message: <blockquote data-quote="nonamazing" data-source="post: 1957164" data-attributes="member: 12118">At first, Barandurr's magic seems to have no effect on the Warforged.  then, ever so slowly, the torn wood of the construct's neck begins to regrow.  It takes a few moments, Barandurr praying and concentrating fiercely, sweat beading on his brow, before the wound is completely closed.  You've all heard that healing magic works poorly on the Warforged, nevertheless, you can't help but be surprised at just how difficult it seems to be to repair one of these living constructs. The blue glow in the construct eye's flickers for just a moment.  Then its head slowly turns as it carefully looks at each of you.  "thank you," it croaks, its throat and vocal apparatus obviously still somewhat damaged. It seems to have some difficulty in moving--with your help, it manages to sit upright.  "may the Sliver Flame recognize and reward your nobility, explorers.  you did not have to aid me, after what i had done, but you chose to do so anyway.  you would have my blessings, if i still had blessings to give."  It shakes its head and looks to the floor, sadly.  "i have been rebuked.  my connection to the Silver Flame is gone, leaving a void in my heart." "no doubt you are wondering who i am, and how i came to be here.  my name is not deadweight--that is merely an insult that horrible Vol worshipper decided to place on me.  my chosen name is Flamesaxe, and i am--was--a holy champion of the Silver Flame.  i worked for Lord Boroman ir'Dayne, protecting his ship.  and i performed my duty to the best of my capacity, until the night the Emerald Claw attacked."  The construct's broken voice is filled with sadness and pain.  "i failed. their leader seemed to be trying to surrender, but i could not understand a word she was saying.  i was tricked into taking the docent component, believing it to be a translator.  once i had accepted it into myself, i became a passenger in my own form, able only to watch as i committed atrocity after atrocity." Flamesaxe looks at Mong.  "you would have been right to tear my head from my body and cast it into the sea.  one who has failed as i have should not be allowed to live."[Barandurr] - [SPOILER]Knowledge (religion): The Warforged has lost his paladin abilities, and will not be able to regain them unless he recieves an atonement spell from a priest of his religion.[/SPOILER][Norderil] - [SPOILER]Sense Motive: As you watch Barandurr pray and try to use his magic, you begin to suspect that something is wrong.  The dwarven cleric seems to be having some sort of crisis of faith.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
