The Lamentation of Lolth - OoC IV

[kirinke]

Cool.... ^*^ the sword is going to have someone else who is going to say 'Can ya do this, can ya do that... Can ya grant this person x ability? Huh, huh, huh?'

I dunno how Teleri is going to react. Though, knowing her, it's probably not going to be as one would expect an elf to react. She is slightly, ever so slightly off-beat.

All,

Just a quick status report from the field...

After a day from Hades, I managed to get everything packed up and moved out of my old apartment, and delivered to where I will be crashing while looking for an apartment to live here in the DC area. For those who didn't know, this place has alot of "income restricted" apartments which mean a soon to be single guy like me with a decent job makes too much money to live in most of them. The kicker is that they don't lower the rent any for more "lower income" families. The irony of that was not lost on me...

Anyhoo, I will get a real post out here in a few, but just to assure Teleri, Ayden won't be asking the blade what she can do for the weilder, but what can the weilder do for the blade...

Plus he'll be on the lookout for any story he can get as well...

Thanks again everyone for the patience you all are giving me with all this stuff going on in RL...

Hope all goes as best it can, Verbatim. Sorry about all of your "stuff." I think I can safely say for all of us that we'll be here and none of us mind any delays you have.

What is the 'inquisition'? Is this some Forgotten Realms thing?

 

[Dhes]

Ahh the Inquisition…… NO Body Expects the Inquisition…. Get “THE COMFY CHAIR”

Inquisition: a faction of the church in the middle-ages that spent there time routing out heresy and evil through the means of torture (also see Monty Python) (I.E. Witch hunters and the like)

oh my god - what a crack up. I haven't seen that inquisition script in 20 years or so. It made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Thanks, Dhes.

Of course I'm familiar with the historical inquisition, as well as with the monty python version. But I wasn't aware of any inquisition in FR. Ayden seemed to know what they were talking about, so I was wondering if it was something Drogo would understand.

I Live to serve….

I guess that anyone that was raised in a city or the like would know of the inquisition, but it could be different for someone from a small town or village, they have less contact with a big variety of religions, and problems with “Undesirables” get handled by the village council or its like.
Plus you get more rumors in city’s, the nasty kind that is, and not the kind like (“Mr. so and so did something to the water and now Mr. Bill’s cow is giving less milk, I’m not saying it’s true mind you, but he did look funny at me the last time in the common room when called him ableedingsonofagoatlover”)

Dunstand for one comes from a big city, he doesn’t have “Knowledge Religion” but he does have an awareness of his surrounding (as befitting a sneaky Rogue)

 

[Verbatim]

As far as how I was handling it from Ayden's PoV, it was along the lines of a facet of the church, any church, bringing someone up on charges of failing the church as a whole, or for spreading false claims, misleading the masses, using the church as a cover up.

As Ayden has only thought of Ernest as a simple "pastor" for lack of a better term, he was surprised that he would be called to be part of something like that. However, who knows what the true story is...

Also, kirinke, you may want to edit your post to be Helm or one of the gods like that. In FR, St Cuthbert isn't a diety.. Plus, you may want to be careful about asking a dwarven warrior spirit to do something sneaky like read other people's thoughts. Apparently, the blade is just barely taking you in under its "wing" and you may not want to strain things too much to begin with..*L*

Thankies for the advice... Changed me post to reflect.
