Learning all I could, I sought to return to give my report to Priestess Urikas, when three brigands caught me while my mind was elsewhere."Relaxing slightly as he talked, Zeric's voice lost the harsh edge that it normally carried, and a surprisingly pleasant baritone voice could be heard."I was a fool to think that the orphanage would not be watched by those involved, but the three men underestimated me, as well as those who came to my assistance. After they had been dealt with, they escorted me in taking them to the temple to be questioned, although they did not see the value in presenting a strong image in front of the weak to make them more agreeable to future questioning.In the end, High Priestess Urikas asked us to investigate the kidnappings in conjunction with the church, a fact I am sure you already know, and we came here to the gnome's shop, unaware of his part in all that had transpired. Had he only possessed steel in his spine, none of this would have happened, and I can not forgive him of that fact, especially with the lives of the children at stake."Looking into the dwarf's eyes, Zeric spoke truthfully to him, the same truthful tone that he had used when he spoke his final words to the priestess when he left."The church is aware of who and what I am, and they sent me to rescue the children or see that those who took them are held accountable for that deed. I will not apologize to any man, woman or god for what I do to get them back, as their safety is all that concerns me, and as I told the high priestess, I will now tell you. One way or the other, justice will be served by my hands, even if I must die to accomplish it..."</blockquote>
