Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos" data-source="post: 2043330" data-attributes="member: 16668">Horsom looks up at the sound of hoofbeats approaching the church and heads outside with Maldordo trotting alongside him. If Horsom's jaw drops at the sight of Amalric riding behind Fellan, it absolutely hits the ground at Amalric's confession. Horsom has dealt with rough men, and been witness to dark acts, but that such evil as Amalric describes exists in the world is almost unfathomable to the simple woodsman. He shakes off the weight of his revulsion and prepares to address the woeful priest.After Kregor advocates an encounter with the manticore, Horsom addresses Amalric. "The best way to atone for your crimes is to help us now. First off, let's move this conversation inside before someone sees or overhears us." Horsom gently takes hold of Amalric's upper arm and guides him into the church.OOC: Poetic license: I'm assuming everyone's okay with not discussing this within earshot of the rest of the village. Apologies if anyone wanted to keep this outside for any reason.After everyone enters the church, Horsom adds: "Kregor, I understand your eagerness to face down the beast - my axe is eager to taste its blood as well. But would it not be wiser to attend to the miller and his cronies tonight and deal with the manticore tomorrow? Cut off the head and the body dies; someone was responsible for chaining this creature to their will, and my guess is that the miller or someone he knows is behind this. A demonologist of some sort. Besides, it's too dark to approach the manticore's lair now, and it's probably abroad. Remember that it seems to hunt at dusk. That's my opinion anyway.".Horsom turns once again to Amalric. "Tell us everything about the miller and anyone else involved in these crimes. How are these people connected to the manticore? Are there any strangers in town, or even locals, who might have the knowledge or bent to summon a demon?" The forlorn priest shivers and remains silent. Horsom lays a hand on his shoulder and addresses him gently: "Amalric, I know that you're feeling guilt, remorse, and self-loathing right now. You wonder why you didn't have the bravery to try to stop these evil folk earlier. I tell you that it is never too late for courageous acts. Helping us now will go a long way towards redeeming yourself both in the eyes of the Seven, and more importantly, your own."</blockquote>
