[QUOTE="Rkhet, post: 2495684, member: 31318"] The priest offers no reactions at your first remark. [sense motive: he does not think much of your 'lesson', but he is determined not to show it.] As you ask your questions, he looks at you, a little surprised. Perhaps he did not expect you to ask something so obvious. But he humors you nevertheless. "I am but a humble priest, I'm a fraid. Hardly a person of substance. This is Vinecastle, and King Sarim II reigns. He is, of course, but a vassal to the Holy Empire, one of many. Our most benevolent Emperor Xervus sits at the crystal throne." "We of the Church are concerned only with spiritual matters. We would not deign to interfere in the mundane administrations of the state, nor does the state concern itself overly with our affairs." [sense motive: these words are well-rehearsed.] "The war goes well. We may have suffered setbacks from trickery most foul, but even now the devout and brave souls of the Empire are heeding our call to arms. Next spring, we will launch the counter-offensive. Heed my words: the Defiler's armies shall be scattered, and he shall be driven from our lands." [sense motive: well-rehearsed, but he speaks with conviction.] "As for the Legion... well. It would not do for us mortals to question the ways of the Holy Ones." He studies the three of you. "You are not from these lands, I take it? If you wish to learn more, our Oracle would surely love to speak with you." [/QUOTE]
