The familiar hazy glow and dissolution of fears, of qualms. As the priest of Omthala reaches out to lay hands upon Gan, the whisky priest reacts atavistically, the training of his youth on the streets of Burning Row taking over. He closes the space between the two in a nonce, attempting to grab the priest's outstretched hands, but the two end up sprawled in the sand in an awkward grapple."False witness? Snake-oil?!? Do you see, brethren, the lengths to which the soft and indulgent clergy will go to keep you from truth? Have we not read scripture together, wherein is written, 'And so the Messenger divined still more than his rivals. He saw right through the decadent clergy. The same kind of degeneracy was silently preparing itself everywhere: the Empire of Hageri was dying out. And the Messenger understood that the whole world needed him--his means, his remedy, his special artifice for preservation. Everywhere the instincts were in a state of anarchy; everywhere people were in a state of excess. But if the instincts would play the tyrant, discover a counter-tyrant who is stronger than they. Delban, Deliverer through Black Flame, burns away decadence and decay. In Omthala's Son is found the proper restraint.'"[HR][/HR]Overcome with alcohol's influence, Ibhea makes a Primary Skill Athletics check to prevent the priest from laying hands on Gan, r(11) +3=14 vs 16 Moderate DC. Failure.He follows this up with a Primary Skill Religion check to counter the priest's oration with his own scripture of restraint, +17 vs 16 Moderate DC= autosuccess.</blockquote>
