I guess that is as good a description for it as anything else. This city is constantly trying to raise coin for its Ancients’ museum. I went to see if some of that coin could flow the empire’s way.”"Will any of that coin be used for Avitus' funeral?  As a Chosen of Tyche,  I would like to help with the rites.""There won’t be a funeral in Bluffside.  He is being sent home to his family. That is our tradition. I care not if The Five or anyone else in this city questions the decision. His body must be transported there for burial. You should know this...”Casca shakes his head. “It does not matter that he was murdered. If I hadn’t sent the body, I could lose my place here. The Emperor might make me ambassador in absentia. It would be Honor Meus, but if he chooses someone else, I am happy to serve the Emperor however he chooses. Are you?”This answer shook Vitus.  He was very fond of Avitus as the man had always been kind to him and to not be able to pay respects to Avitus made Vitus very sad.  Casca hadn't even asked Vitus to preserve the body.  What was more difficult was Casca's last question.  There was a conflict within the boy.  Of course he was loyal to the Emperor - every morning, with the rest of the delegation, he pledged his allegiance to the Emperor.  He could not deny his heritage.  But every morning, before he did that, he also pledged his life to Tyche.  And Tyche was pushing him in a direction that was making this conversation very uncomfortable.  For the moment, he dodged the question, "My Lord, haven't you heard of the incident in the Lantern Ward?  Loyalists, along with a creature destroyed much of the ward.  So many people are dead or wounded.  I've spent most of the afternoon and evening helping the Exemplars.  I've been waiting for you to return to report."Vitus told Lord Casca everything he'd found out, including the kobold's account of the Well.  This, unfortunately, lead the conversation back to the Exemplars and Falen."Falen seems very secretive about his comings and goings in the city.  He's not exactly forthcoming to me...but he seems very nice...concerned about the well being of the people.  My Lord, Why do you want to know so much about the Exemplars?"“Why would I not want to know about a powerful group of heroes who might raise Bluffside’s prestige on the continent.” Casca shakes his head. “Why are you questioning me about protecting the delegacy from those who might become Ticinum’s enemies on the battlefield.”He looks at Vitus sternly. “Your loyalties should only be to the empire. Do not become enamoured by these foreign heroes. They are nothing in the grand scheme of the world... unless they become a danger to the Emperor. This building and its grounds are Ticinum. I will not protect you outside these walls if you question the empire or the will of the Emperor.”The warning hung heavy and Vitus felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff.  But Lady Fortune rewarded the Bold so he stepped off the ledge,"I just don't see how they might become Ticinum's enemies.  And...my Lord...while I appreciate all that you have done for me...it's been such an honour to serve you, I couldn't have asked for a better reward for my deeds so many years ago but...my loyalties can't ONLY be to the Empire.  I'm a Priest of Tyche, even if High Priestess Amina Elestrada refuses to acknowledge it.  In a month, I will be sixteen.  A man. And Tyche is calling me to action.  I think it is time for me to go...and I would like to have your blessing."[HR][/HR][SPOILER="OOC"]I'd like an to insight Casca around the murder of Avitas.  He certainly has a lot to gain from Avitas' death. Not that Vitus would have suspected him, but sending the body away so quickly was jarring for Vitus.<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=282799" target="_blank">Sense Motive: 1D20+6 = [16]+6 = 22</a>Also, as I mentioned in Discord, I've been wanting to cast Status on one or more of the Exemplars so we can meet up again - especially since I didn't know that the Identifying of items was at the castle.  I'd mentioned it in one post and backtracked on it because we were all sticking together but then forgot to mention it again in my last post when we separated.  I imagine, he'd do it on Big Tim and one other person who was around[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
