[QUOTE="Branding Opportunity, post: 4528756, member: 31812"] [b]The Dedication[/b] The afternoon progresses in a fine manner, and everyone enjoys the free food and drink that the taverns have so generously provided. It soon becomes apparent that the darling of the lunch is once again, Ameiko Kaijitsu, whose remarkable curry-spiced salmon and early winterdrop mead easily overshadow the other offerings, such as the Hagfish's lobster chowder or the White Deer's peppercorn venison. Finally the sun begins to set, and Father Zantus takes the central podium flanked by visiting representatives of the other faiths. The Varisian knight of Shelyn named Sivan draws particularly favorable comments from the women in the audience, who think that he looks particularly in his gleaming mail. Since most folk are still busy enjoying each other's conviviality, not to mention their fourth or fifth ale, Father Zantus uses a thunderstone to attract everyone's attention. The staccato crash and rumble of the stone draw the eyes of even the farthest gone reveler as the High Priest clears his throat as he prepares to recite the Prayer of First Dreaming. As his sonorous voice intones the opening song, “Oh blessed be she who wanders among the stars,” a second, discordant melody can be heard wafting above the crowd. Sung in screeching, high voices the words are the worst broken Taldoran: “Goblin chew and goblin bite. Goblin cut and goblin fight. Stab der dog and cut der horse, goblin eat and take by force!” A woman's scream slices through the air, and a few moments later, another scream rises, then another. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as the a stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. [i](OOC: Visual Perception checks, Arahmid 18 + 5 = 23, success! Sivan 17 + 0 = 17, success!
