Sarlis stays confused for a few seconds.
"What is this thing about glorifying weakness"
He turns towards the other not wanting to create too much of a mess.
"True Dunstand, our little inquiry actually brough us a lot.
But please stop glorifying weakness. I was also witness of horrible attrocities commited by the Zentharim during the last war and I can tell you the more I get over it the stronger I get.
You saw how weak I was at the temple the other day. And this is something I hope nobody will ever witness again from me. We shouldn't let our intelligence be driven by our fear. We need to overcome them in order for us to continue our work to improve this world.
This men is eaten alive by fear, and as a result doesn't do anything to improve his miserable condition.
Sarlis shut up look around at his compagnion hopping they understand his message and then makes a big smile to facilitate a quick transition of mood
"So what are we waiting for. Let's not discuss philosophy in the dark and cold of the night when we could do it near the fire around a large table filled with a delicious meal and fine wine."
He finishes refering to the Inn and it's large fireplace

"Glorifying? As far as this farmer knows, it is riders who have done that, and we arrive with horses. We are strangers. We could be those riders as far as he knows. Many thugs live like that. Raiding and then offering there protection. Pretty basic. If we had a reputation here, maybe he would have reacted differently.
Come on Felmir, some water waits for you at the stable."
He starts to walk the way back to the village.

Broddy rode along with the others, carefully watching the latest addition to the party, he was uncertain about this priest. It was clear that he did want to help but there was something about him that didn't quite feel right, it was like he always looked down at everyone, himself included, that everyone didn't measure up to what they should be in his eyes.
Maybe it was just embarrassment at being captured by the Night hag's minions, or maybe it was just the way Lathender's priests worked, with a mental shrug he gave up thinking about it, what will happen, will happen but at least it will be an interesting trip regardless.
Once they get back to the inn, he will head up to his room to sleep.

Teleri ate, mulling over the events of the day, listening to the others talk. She looked at the falling rain and the cloud obscured night sky. If it were clear, the moon would already be bright in the sky. It was almost time.
"Excuse me, but I think I need to retire for the night," she said politely and went upstairs, taking a bath, then donning a simple blue robe piped with silver traceries. She turned to the direction of the moon, hidden behind the clouds and began to pray.

Still lost in his thoughts, Ayden absently picked at his food while the others ate their meal beside him. As his companions slowly began to stand and prepare to retire for the evening, Ayden spoke simply but firmly to them all.
"We ride in the morning for a foe that has taken someone very close to our hearts. We know not what manner of creature we will face should we find it, but prepare yourself for the worst. Blades should be sharpened, fresh strings on the bows, arrowheads of silver if you have them, and spells of war. I do not say this lightly, as Finder teaches that continued discord will ruin any melody, and that lesson applies to us as well. However, for the time being, we must accept our roles and do what must be done in honor of the beliefs that Lady Chasity held dear."
Standing up slowly, Ayden looked at each person at the table for a moment and smiled wearily.
"If tomorrow I ride to my death, I can think of none better to have known. I shall see you all at morning's repast."
Having spoken his mind, Ayden walked up the stairs to his room and waited for Finder's melodies to fill his thoughts and lull him to sleep. However, this night his dreams were filled with the vision of Chasity screaming for help while some unseen creature of darkness tore her body apart again and again before his slumbering eyes.

Sielwoodan comas back from the stable, where he has taken some care of Felmir. He arrives just as Ayden starts his speach. He listen calmly. As the priest go upstair, he follow him. As Ayden open his door, Sielwoodan catch him up. He gently put his hand on the priest shoulder and whisper to him.
"Friend, I understand your concern, but don't forget, we are not here for vengeance. The line is thin and easy to cross."
He pause a moment. He looks like he is hesitating to say something more, but he finally continu up to his room.
"Good night! And may Selune watch over your sleep."

Sarlis listen carefully at the priest. As he is about to leave he adds.
"Ayden, while I agree that we must prepare for a fight, we should keep in mind that we shouldn't judge anybody before we know the entire thruth. Doing otherwise would level us down to their level.
He then jumps when he hears the priest mention that he could fail.
"How is this supposed to motivate the troops, We all need to beleive that we are winners to win. Why is he putting fear and doubt in their mind"
Before Ayden is up the stairs Sarlis stands up and addresses the others
"Tomorrow will be another great begining for our group. There is no doubt in my mind that if we all work togheter on this we will succeed. I am not saying it will be easy, but we will succeed. The key is to leave our personal different in our room and focus on what's important. The team success.
From what I saw during the last few days you are all talented and gifted individual. Separated we could easily be defeated but united we are INVINCIBLE"
Sarlis grabs his glass and propose a toast "To our futur successes"
He then sits down and continue eating.
