[HR][/HR]The cleric looks around at the crowd, suddenly registering the varying stages of frenetic "post-miracle stir" among the many assembled.Averting his eyes from the borderline heretical gesticulations before him, he casts his gaze skyward to the blazing sun.  "A direct miracle of The Lady of Light?"  Forgetting himself entirely, like a good bureaucrat who feels taxed with more work than he actually is, he openly laments the necessaries of his position.  He sighs and quietly mumbles to himself; "...now I'm going to have to <insert an array of formalities to verify the legitimacy of an actual, unsanctioned, unsponsored manifestation of their goddess, here>." Suddenly drawn from his borderline stupor over rather mundane frustrations, he seems rather excited at the prospect of your arrival.  "House Audaseie (?)...your house is known for the gift of extrasensory perception without divine sponsorship."  Consternation and bemusement uncoils into vague but growing excitement at the prospect; "So if there was an enemy of the faith directly interfering with our own means of divination and oracular insight...your house would be unaffected..."  He leans in and demands your gaze. Whispering, "we do not need your monetary investments presently. Our coffers overflow. Hear what I say now but know that if this news spreads, you will be confirmed, and then declared officially, the vector for the panic that follows.  I trust I needn't elaborate on the penalty of such a happening."  He doesn't even wait for your response.  "The blaze of the Everflame that consecrates the Cathedral's altar has grown precipitously dim these last many weeks.  I've scoured the histories and this is either a sign of a dark period for the faith-at-large or it's a calm before a great coronal outburst from her celestial body, which would render the material world beset with grave harm from her judgement that we_are_not_worthy.  Perhaps there is another, more mundane answer, but I have not the research staff nor time...the hour grows far too late it seems...to delve into the vast tomes on all related subjects.  I have asked for Her insight during Communion...but She is strangely silent on what afflicts us.  I do not know what that means.  Perhaps you could engage your...mind-prowess(?)...on the matter?"[HR][/HR]Medium DC (That is all I have left!)</blockquote>
