Message: <blockquote data-quote="pneumatik" data-source="post: 4922900" data-attributes="member: 21087">Hollister and Korrin manage to get the protesters to pause and consider that the party actually have fought the Scourge. This gives Liiros a chance to make a much stronger argument, so to speak.As the protesters move aside and let the party go through, a man steps out from behind a building inside the school grounds, on the other side of the gate. With a paunch and a prematurely receding hairline this blue-robed wizard possesses a simple obvious friendliness. Hollister recognizes him as <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/253031-pneumatiks-war-burning-sky-campaign-saga-1-scouring-gate-pass.html#post4732589" target="_blank">Diogenes</a>, a fellow wizard and Resistance sympathizer from Gabal's school."Oh, thank Cuthbert you made it back, Hollister," Diogenes says. "After we got split up last night, I was afraid the Scourge had gotten you. Come in, come in, and bring your friends."One of the protesters recovers his wits and says to Diogenes, "He might've fought," pointing at Hollister, "but you wizards in the school didn't." A number of protesters grumble in agreement."Actually, most of the wizards at Gabal's school fought," Diogenese says as he reaches the gate. "We hoped it would embarrass Gabal into fighting, but no luck. You'd think a wizard as powerful as Gabal would have used his powers to protect the city, but I guess he wimped out." He touches the lock in the middle of the front gate and concentrates. The gate unlocks and Diogenes motions the party to enter.Once the party is inside Diogenes quickly relocks the gate. "Now, y'all stay out here and keep up the good work," he says to the protesters. "Hopefully you'll at least make Gabal feel bad." He then leads the party into the school grounds, saying, "You must be hungry. Let's head over the kitchen and grab some chow."You cross school grounds and enter the main kitchen for the school. It's empty, and there are only dying embers on its large hearths. "Now, you're certainly welcome to eat whatever you want," Diogenes says, "but I really brought you hear so we could talk. Hollister, since you're in the city I can only assume you had ... problems." He eyes the rest of the party suspiciously. "Tell me about your friends, and what I can do to help you."</blockquote>
