You tell her everything, from your capture, to the appaling conditions on the ship, the wreck, the battle with the Orcs and Goblins and your decision to spend the night here.You see about you the results of the raid of the Hak-kubra, the pirate orcs.  The have defiled my sanctuary. You see about you debris and broken furnitureWhen pirates came hither three generations ago, they slew the men of this island, but let my temple be - as is proper.  Since then, my sanctuary has been subject to wind and storm, age and rot, but I was not offended, for that is nature's right - to beat down what men have raised.But the acts of debasement you see about you have offended me.  I choose to cleanse this island, all destroy all living upon it; a proper cleansing of the stain made by the Hak-kubra.I see no reason for you to die for another's offense, however.  So I will not cleanse this island this night, as I had planned, but will stay my hand another day, and lay waste to this place at nightfall tomorrow.  If you are fled by then, I will adjudge you fit to survive, and the storm which will cleanse this place will do no harm to your craft.It is a difficult test.  I see you have not chosen your adventuresome paths willingly.  So this aid will I give you:  Seek your escape beneth the manor, the way there lies in my chapel within the manor,  there are items of power there as well.  Should you find an object of magical power, use it wisely, perhaps it will help you toward you goal. The glow surrounding the woman slowly fades and with it goes all life.  Finally, it is dark again and before you stands a stature.  You awake with a start.</blockquote>
