So, despite what it looks like, Bufer wasn't pinning Hazel or asking her to the gnomish prom.Bufer references the lord of Wit's End, his mentor and his father being religious subversives against the Church of Lothian. Gnomes are long-lived, and Tarsis is the heart of the church's power, but it'll be a long time before it occurs to him that Lothianism isn't the enemy today in Midwood as it once was in Tarsis. Despite talking a good game with Emmerson, he's almost as suspicious of the church as Tock is.This all comes to the fore in the next few adventures, when the bishop begins to call in the debt Emmerson owes him for raising the young paladin from the dead. It's a plot line that's not done yet, with various religious forces pulling at all the clerics in the campaign. This is complicated by the fact that none of the religious folks are evil and, technically, none of them is really in the wrong.</blockquote>
