"They'll kill me if I tell you the truth! The Dwarf's threats are child's play compared to what happens to betrayers of The Order! They are fond of saying that physical pain is a blessing, for it means that your soul is intact!"As this is happening, Father Xavier returns. He looks upon Kasnik's horse with disdain. "I don't know why you felt it necessary to summon your horse into the sanctuary, but if you don't mind, I believe that the situation no longer calls for its presence."Father Xavier looks at the man, and says: "You've caused quite a stir here, young man. Now that I am here, I can see that your aura does not carry the taint of evil, per se, but it is burdened by greed, selfishness, and deceit. The path you are on leads down a slippery slope, I'm afraid. You must tell us the truth. We will offer you asylum here, in this temple. Whatever this "Order" is that you're afraid of, I can say with certainty, that their leaders would think twice about trying to get to you HERE. Understand now that this is a Temple dedicated to St. Cuthbert The Just, and we have an order of our own. It's called The Order of The Flaming Mace; it's an order of Holy Knights, sworn to the service of St. Cuthbert. We are strong, and this place is heavily fortified, both by mortar and stone, and by enchantment. As long as you are here, you are safe. And think upon this: you could live here, comfortably, and in peace, safe from your old life, and your old enemies, as long as you agree to take the oath, and study the scriptures of Cuthbert. We have many among our monks who were once common thugs such as yourself, whom have learned the path to peace, through study and prayer. The choice is yours."The Man in Green looks around the room, his eyes filled with fear. "How do I know you're not trying to trick me?" he says.[Everyone: What do you do?]</blockquote>
