Angelo Human Mage

"I'm sorry, I always try to eschew obfuscation. The point of what I said it is that we know this fellow and his beast are important. Does it really matter if it is a brown dog, a grey wolf, or a black raven? I should think our helping your man when he was in need and rushing you his information would be the relavant points here."

OOC: What can I say, his mother was a dancer. He can't help but try to dance away from the trap?
 

Meeting with the prelate

As Angelo completes his quip, he hears a soft laugh coming form the young man on the couch.....the prelates however is not really amused........"Should have know he would have picked an apprentece with a saucy tounge"...turning to the others he asks "Do you gentlement have anything to add or are you just window dressing?"
 


Meeting with the Prelate

The Archbishop then looks at Brother LUcien as if to get a response from him. Brother Lucien however remains silent much to the obvious disappontmen and ire of the Prelate. Directing his attention back to Angelo and Tetus he says "Tell me about the condition of the man and anything you may know about how he came by his wounds"...then as an afterthought he adds.."And please tell me how you came to be involved"
 

Angelo Human Mage

"I can say nothing of how the man came by those wounds that came before we met him and clearly the fever had already taken him before we were involved." The bardic story teller in him coming to the fore, Angelo goes on to describe the scene at breakfast, including important details such as the color of the attackers' uniforms. He paints a vivid picture of the man's deft skill with blades. He goes on to describe the ferousity with which the wolf soon dispatched the others. Seeing so many beset one man, we could not help, but suspect the others were in the wrong. Quickly attending to the man's wounds with our skills at healing it became clear that more than weapons were the cause of the man's downfall. Angelo portrays Lucien's excellent skills combined with the power of his faith as crucial to the man's survival. He sets up the scene in their hastily aquired rooms and then pausing at the dramatic moment when the knock came at the door to take a breath. He continues on with the encounter with Fraken and the brief and decisive battle in which Lucien's great skill was paramount. Finally, he relates how the documents were found during treatment. Finally, he plays up the parties' zeal to be helpful and ensure that the information was brought to this office in all haste. In conclusion he asks, "perhaps you can shead more light on these events in which we have been merely innocent bystanders drawn into a complex intrigue."
 

Meeting with the Prelate

Angelo completes his tale only to find the Archbishop remaing silent for what seems to be the longest time. Durning the silence a soft "Dammit all to hell" can be heard from the young man sitting on the couch. Completing his moment of silence the Prelate says "Of course tis the duty of all priests to show other to the light...if they so chose to seek it" "Are you willing to be shown the light" the archbishop askes with an arched eybrow

Angelo hesitates for just a moment, perhaps because he has never had much use for the church or churchmen. Then he says, "I am willing to be shown the light."
 

Meeting with the Archbishop

"I wonder it if it a matter of faith or a matter of curiosity with you" The prelates say to Angelo...."Either way your request will be granted"...The archbishop begins to raise his hand and Angelo senses the gathering of divine magic as the archbishop is about to stretch forth his hand in order to touch Angelo, the door opens without ceremony and the prelate who escourted you in rushes in "It has started your grace.....in the river district......troops concealed within grain barges.....the lower river district is burning as we speak"

The archbishop stops himself and refocuses his attention....turning to the young man who is now stading he says "It has begun.." The back to the young prelate he says "Joseph, muster the guard and alert the other church nights.....send men to all the rectories and parishes within the city as planned"...then seeing Angelo and company he says "Go and bring me Marcus....quickly"
 

Angelo Human Mage

A wave of both relief and regret pass through Angelo simultaneously as the Cardinal is distracted from his magic. As the Cardinal's request to bring Marcus, Angelo nods and Looks to his companions. "Let's be on our way gentlemen." He makes his way out as quickly as posible.

For the DM [sblock]Angelo quickly makes a mental call to his friends. "We have to get back to the inn and get Marcus, then return him here to the church. There may be a running battle along the way. I need you watching for threats and keeping me abreast of the best routes."[/sblock]
