Into the Moral Darkness: IC

While Erianelle is gone, the small chapel space is indeed searched. Only about a half hour after she leaves do the doors burst open. As far as Venial can tell by the stomping of feet, there are three of them. They do not speak often enough for Venial to truly be able to tell if one of them is Garang or not. They spend about 10 minutes looking for secret panels in the walls, then the floor, and even try to move the altar in the front suspecting that the altar may contain some kind of passage underneath. To their frustration they can find nothing.

They don't appear to spend much time at all rearranging the chapel - as if they are not concerned at all about making the chapel appear as though they were not here. They close the doors with a heavy thud.

It is some time before Erianelle returns. She opens the doors much more gently and Venial can hear her gasp at the view before her. Before long Venial can hear the footsteps drawing close to him and the lid of the bench opens.

In the chapel, Venial can tell that almost everything has been moved and stripped off the walls. Banners need rehung, what might be holy symbols to Venial's untrained eye lay strewn across the floor. Erianelle looks as though she might cry as she shakes her head.

"Well, no need to ask if they came." Erianelle says with saddness as Venial looks about the discombobulated room.

Venial stares a moment at the room. They have no respect for the gods. 'Respect your enemies as you respect your allies' told my father. I wonder if Mouqol will teach them a lesson for that? His eyes ends on Eranielle. She must have many ordeal by keeping this chapel in a land control by Vecna followers.

Venial starts to place back things as he remembered, not touching the items that might be sacred, leaving that to Eranielle hands. "I think they were three. They didn't speak much, but I didn't recognized any voice. Most likely goons as you've guess. When the kid is suppose to show up?"
 

Erianelle replies, appreciative of the help, "Not for an hour or two. The bells will ring for the dinner hour soon - within the hour. All in the mayor's employ will be fed in the hall. I will go then, you will be safe here. If I am able, I can smuggle you out a roll or a few slices of bread. I specifically asked a boy that I know has a post-dinner duty to attend. That will give me time to come back here after dinner so you know you will not be alone in the room when he comes."
 

"Perfect." he tells as he continues to help to place back the things.

As he finish to set up the room as it was, Venial sit down on a bench and look around a moment. All seems fine. He turns his attention to Eranielle. "As we have a few more time without being disturb. I have a question for you. Is there anything you need? Items or help. I can't promise anything, but I am in your debt. And once out of here, I'll be able to play with the few influence I have."
 

Erianelle replies, "You've done much already by helping straighten up the chapel. I have little need for items - and much of what I don't have I can't get anyway without drawing much attention and suspicion as to how it came to my posession. I might have a favor to run if you should be findinging yourself headed towards the Fenerress and Quehalost Mountains in the next month, though."
 

"I can't assure you I will head that way, or when, but it is a possibility. You can ask now if you desire, or I can try to contact you once I will be sure I will be heading that way." Venial remove his signet ring and show it to Eranielle. "If I have to write to you, that should be the only symbol that should validate I am contacting you."
 

Erianelle takes a look at the ring and nods. "Very well, then. I shall wait for your correspondance if it is a possibility. Will you be headed far away once we figure a way out for you?"
 

"I'll start to leave the region first. I need to be forgotten by some people here. Then, I'll see. I might have something else to do, or I might just keep a low profile. It is hard to tells." answers Venial.
 

"Very good. Like I said then, I'll await your correspondance if you are able."

The faint ringing of a bell can be heard coming through the green stained glass windows. "That'll be the evening meal. You should be safe here until I return. Can I bring you anything?"
 

"Something to eat should be fine, but if it is unusual for you to take food to your chapel, you might just forget it. I start to be hungry, but not enough to risk anything yet." answers Venial.
