Falen: (cont. color commentary)
"Tyche does not speak to me the way Tyche speaks, to you, Vitus." Falen chooses his words wisely, lest the young cleric misunderstand him and take away the wrong impression. "I don't require that Tyche speak to me; I simply ask for the occasional nudge."
As to the details of Aulos, Falen elaborates little, "I was not acquainted with him, nor your grandfather, except by reputation. I serve Lord Max, and he apparently knew them both. I think Avitus was vexed, as his son's capture and ransom were private, meant to keep him in line by those who would subvert authority in Ticineum affairs, and evidently Bluffside's as well. I think we should investigate these threads, but candidly, young Cleric, I think they will lead to the Dusk, The Rising Swords, and ultimately to Phelix del Cannitha. "
As to the query about speaking w/ the dead: "I think that is a splendid idea. Proffer it to Commander Oakfirst and Akos. Just remember to ask your full battery of questions; it's impolite to have the dead wait for questions for more than a few minutes." He winks at Vitus, hoping his macabre humor in this regard isn't too over the top.
And along in the story, before midnight, and his falling asleep in the hammock, Falen finds Vinny and requests to look at the enchantress' spellbook. He's looking two add several spells to his repertoire when they have extended downtime, if Vinny is agreeable. He offers to pay Vinny 100 gp for two (2) spells, one that was used on him (Falen) to cause the fog he endures, and any other of the most advanced her spellbook might have to offer.
