[QUOTE="Broccli_Head, post: 1234184, member: 105"] [B]Twillight Hollow, Sunset Vale, 30 Eleint,1378 DR,Year of the Cauldron[/B] Fortunately, the temple did not smell like a charnel house, but Benito and Aris did hear the groans of pain and the scent of blood and fear as men lay strewn about in the main santurary in full view of the grand mosaic--where five and a half years earlier Suldolphin had manifested to this plane. The high priest, the aasimar Tarian, whom Benito had rescued years earlier from torture at the hands of the false priestess Andres Nagheson, beamed at first with surprise and then with relief as he saw Benito Moltos walked in the door. "Your arrival is timely, Benito Moltos. I am spent of healing and have only done a quarter of the job that needs doing. Did you arrive at the bequest of Ilmater?" "Good Tarian, alas, I did not. I am here for Gwyneth and the rest of the Vorshev family. We are taking them to Silverymoon. However, I will do what I can here." Benito took Tarian by both hands and sent waves of healing power into him, imbuing him with the divine power to aid the rest of the refugee soldiers.Tarian's already golden eyes glowed with even more divine spark, and the cleric pointed out Gwyneth healing more injured. "Where are these men from?" asked Aris "Red Cloaks from Asbravn. They arrived here not long ago." Aris raised an eyebrow and went searching for officer's heraldry to get the lastest news while Benito approached a blood-armed Gwyneth, stitching wounds mundanely. Tarian returned to healing the rest of the Red Cloaks. "They hit us with surprise...demons...devils...some infernals...We could have taken Zhent regulars. By Torm! We've been fightin' them for years holdling them back, but they sent those things at us." Aris paused at the information. The sergeant had been clearly shaken by the rout from his hometown, but slowly the genasi general eased the man and obtained the critical news. [i]Someone had summoned or gated infernals!
