I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Vorian
Vorian reacts slowly as he was focused on his drawing.
Initiative vs. elf (1d20+1=4)
OOC: Vadric should be careful with throwing accusations around. He doesn't know Vorian enough and this could be language of druids or heaven or any other option. IF he is able to recognize elven for what it is, what is that saying about HIS moral standing?
Remember at the start of sailing, there were merchants that reacted same way when someone spoke Gaulic![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
OOC2: This would be about Vorian thoughts if anyone is listening, otherwise it's just ranting

Finnian Douglas
Finnian rises and claps his hands together sharply to command attention. Raising his voice with a true bearing of command, Finnian addresses the assembly.
"I understand your reaction to the presence of an Elf, but that is enough!! Your conduct and ability against the true demons we have faced so far proves your good standing within the Light. The only thing you face here by listening to what this gentleman has to say is censure from the closed minded hierarchy of the Church. And you have proven yourself willing to face that before.
"We are here to find a solution to the demonic problems we have faced thus far. If we are truly to do the Light's work, we must be ready to hear from any party that can aid in our endeavors. If that aid comes from an Elf - shocking as that may be, we must be prepared to listen and judge the information based on its merits and not be prejudiced by the messenger.
"Now are you prepared to listen with an open mind? If you are only willing to listen to prove that you can, there is no point in continuing this meeting. We need your true intellect and judgment to evaluate what will be presented if we are to accomplish anything."
Finnian pauses let the others respond.
[sblock=OOC]Initiative in meeting (1d20+3=23)
Since it appears that Finnian has the initiative among the party members, I went ahead and posted his action.

OOC: As a high ranking member of the Church of the Light and the Knights of the Light, I'm sure that Vadric could recognize the language of the enemy...he is trained to recognize things that are dark or arcane, after all (the same reason he has ranks in Knowledge: Arcana). JA would have to confirm that, though. Also, VOrian is a newcomer to the group. From an IC perspective, Vadric doesn't know him anymore than he knows the elf.
OOC2: I think everyone (with the exception of Rath Lorien) is missing the point that Vadric IS a member of the Church of the Light in good standing. Open mind or not, association with elves and these dark magic sorts is going to earn us all a trial for the crime of Heresy. And the only way Vadric is going to avoid that is by declaring Heresy himself and destroying the enemy.
OOC3: FYI: if this comes to combat and Vadric starts throwing Holy Smite around, Vorian and Jaroth are going to take damage from them since they are not of GOOD alingment. And this will immediately clue Vadric in to the fact that they may not be as close to the Light as they probably should.
OOC4: All this said, I'm not trying to be difficult, but merely to play in character. And Vadric and Anniston are the only two PCs with the authorization to speak on behalf of the Church...this also means that they have the most to lose.

OOC: I have no problems with the way you've run Vadric. Finnian is a Diplomat not a member of any Church Hierarchy. He is focused on the mission and acting toward that end. It will be fun to see how this develops.

Deep Breath Deep Breath
Okay....lets step back fromt he fire....the initivative was to help me determine who was reactions occured first so i could formulate the Lady Vera's and the elfs response...
Vadric does have a few valid points..he and Anniston and even Bertrand as a semi court officer could be in deep with the authorites over this...Jaroth has become and accepted member of the party and the case could be made about working toward a common goal....but both anniston and Vadric would still have their hands slapped for even constorting..
I wanted to use this as a point to emphaize just how deep the racial prejudices and religious prejudices run in this world..
And as for Vadric and Annsiton you put so much faith in the light how nice..but you have no idea what the other religions could bring to bear in a fight.........that is part of the dispute bewteen the Northern Bishops and the Southern Bishops as well as bewteen the Brotherhood and the Knights of the LIght not to mention the Druids themself..
So think about your character and take a deep breath.. i will move us on tonight with the responses.

Jaroth
ooc: I wholeheartedly agree
Initiative Roll = 15
Jaroth will, on his turn, go fetal and die of embarrasment.

OOC Question: If a cleric was to be found guilty of heresy or consorting with the enemy or whatnot and excommunicated from the Church, would he still retain his cleric powers assuming he had acted within the confines of his alignment, even if it conflicted with the Church's official beliefs? (assuming he is not burned at the stake, of course)
