[QUOTE="Andrew Moreton, post: 8020195, member: 6920268"] As we started the family found and rescued a dwarven priestess Florence of the god of forges who hailed from Risur. She had been visitng before the great eclipse and while she recognised the characters as the famous RHC agents from Flint she was not aware she was talking to her Queen, she had also heard that Granny Allswell was dead and a dwarf was replacing her gradually becoming the King Under the Mountain and was not aware Ulvaar was there. She told the tale about her younger sister (Ulvaar's perfect match) who was out to discover the lost tomb of the great dwarven king Ron the Good , one of the kings of the Drakr dwarves before the Demonocracy and told how the key had been lost when everyone got drunk at the funeral wake. They laughed at this and the dwarven names being so normal. I look forward to their expressions when they find the Lost Tomb of Ron the Good with its Beer fountains. They did consider that at some pointed the needed a clergy cleric who could be head of faith for at least ten minutes so they decided to keep her around as she was a cleric on their side. In the Web she goes until it is safe. They headed out for the trial of the Goddess of Oases , and were impressed by Legate Tullius's skill but not by the fairness of the trial, they considered intervening but decided that would just tip their hand and they were not prepared. As they moved into the temple they decided they had to act before all the god was embodied and all its followers were killed so William contacted the priestess with a sending warning when she died her goddess and followers would die unless she died before the goddess could be embodied. She agreed death was ineveitable and dying for her goddess and followers was a better death and would make her a martyr. With permission William and Manuel moved into a sniping position so Manuel could shoot her and then they could teleport out before the search found them. With one shot Manuel killed the priestess , thwaring the ritual and preventing the disaster. He just avoided being spotted because of the distraction and distance to the observers and his silly stealth score. For the next trial minor angels would be posted at all the sniping positions so things could not be repeated. Abandoning the idea of talking to Vitus as he seemed too mad and talking to him revealed their presence in the city Nevla instead went to see the Arch-Secular in the library sneaking in with the help of the family and then, she spoke briefly with the woman and came to the conclusion that she was more interested in saving her own life and all the others which could be saved by stopping the God Trials than in loyalty to the Ob. Nevla agreed that she and her fellows would save the day if they would then get access to the Axis Island ritual, the Arch-Secular agreed.
