Showing restraint that would have been wholly uncharacteristic a few years ago, he settled for merely drinking copiously instead.Also in the common room (where they would be performing that night) were De'lea and Tuggle, respectively attempting to pick up an attractive elf and socializing with the other patrons. Most people were more than happy to share their versions of the dockside battle, rumors of which had already spread that far. Their tales seemed to divide into two sorts: those that centered on giants killing guards, and those that revolved around an attack by winged minotaurs -- leaving Tuggle pleased that none of them included the Follies.As was so often the case, De'lea met with almost immediate success: the gorgeous elf, Laffia, was very interested in learning more about the teachings of Sune. He suggested to De'lea that they visit the temple of Sune, and once she'd checked his aura (not evil) De'lea agreed. Having been half-listening to their conversation, Tuggle's interest was piqued, and he offered to accompany them. Since Vicktor was content to drink and await the return of the other Follies, De'lea, Laffia and Tuggle headed out for the temple.After some unfocused rambling (Laffia proved not to have known where the temple was per se), the trio arrived at Sune's sanctuary. It was an imposing building: a tapering, lacquered red spire, six stories tall, with slender windows scattered randomly up the facade. Incense and soft music suffused the interior, which was delicately lit by the tall windows and a small forest of red candles.Having grown somewhat tired of Laffia's company, Tuggle and De'lea tried to pawn him off on a nearby priest. The devastatingly attractive priest was more than happy to take him under his wing -- but his real interest lay with De'lea. Sune's faith was not known for producing many paladins, and even in a city as large as Selgaunt the cleric could have gone his whole life without meeting more than a handful. Perhaps able to spot her celestial heritage, he fawned over De'lea, leaving Tuggle bored -- or at least, bored until De'lea mentioned their performance that night.In full-on entertainer mode, Tuggle stepped in to talk up their engagement at Farry's Port. As soon as he was certain that De'lea would be involved in the actual performance, the priest told them that he would be attending it -- along with as many other Sunites as he could gather before dusk. Bubbling with excitement, he told the Follies to expect a crowd and bustled off to begin spreading the news.De'lea and Tuggle left the temple shortly thereafter, and began walking back to Farry's Port (with Tuggle advertising their performance en route).Without warning, a raven dropped from the sky and swooped straight towards Tuggle, who was startled but still managed to throw up an arm for it to land on. The bird neatly dodged his upraised arm, landing instead on his shoulder. The moment it touched down, the raven crumbled to dust before Tuggle's eyes -- and left behind a crumpled scrap of paper.Opening it, Tuggle found a message from Thissiken:left shop going to pub was followed trying to lose him in belv row herbal come quick pleasedamn didn't lose him will try again help</blockquote>
