He uncorks a bottle and takes a long swig. A warming glow radiates from stomach to heart, melting away doubt and fear, buoying his spirits."Come, Ervid*, your talk of false doctrine and heresy holds no sway here. The good folk of Dolg Hana have read the prophesies themselves. They know the truth and reject those who claim to stand between them and the Coming Glory of the Black Flame as the interlopers they have been. For centuries, as you note. "Gan, what did our scriptural reading reveal to us this morning, after our day and night of labor in reconsecrating our temple befouled by alien corruption?"Gan steps forward and clears his voice. Awkwardly, he recites, struggling to recall the details specifically, "Prepare the way of the Shadowed Sun; make straight in the desert a highway for the god. I will send a messenger on this road who will prepare the way before me, and this messenger will purge the taint and corruption that afflicts my people."Gan pauses and meets the outlander priest's eye. "That messenger is The Lucent Messenger, Ibhea, here, who, along with Omthala's Searing Voice, saved our girls from magic most foul when our own Omthalan clergy could not. If you're a Goddess-fearing man, you'll recognize the truth of these words and acts."*Ervid is a rank of second-tier priest.[HR][/HR]Ibhea makes a Primary Skill Diplomacy check to rally the Dolg Hanans in rejection of the priest's authority, r(9) +9 +2 (Religious Bastion bonus) = 20 vs 16 Moderate DC (presumably). Success.</blockquote>
