A bunch of CN Luttins are ill-suited to being fundamentalists of almost anything besides chaos? That might be an interesting stance for them to take if they're reproached though:

"You n'yer CHURCH folk n'tha CITY come up with that? Eryone KNOWS that CITY FOLK ain't got no souls, s'drawn out by th'STONES and th'POISONED AIRS. I tell you THIS, n'case you ain't considered: The Traveler is a MIGHTY AND POWERFUL one, a TRICKSTER he is...maybe he's got a good thing goin' sending you city folk off to wear your fancy clothes out here in th'land of perfection as a TEST. N'this place you come from, where they can' tell the Traveler from a fayr to cook stew on? Maybe deys been tested TOO. An' FAILED. We'se the TRUE SILVER FLAMES. ALL PRAISE THE MASTER OF TRUTH!"

I'm going to have trouble doing this accent without looking like a dork. I just know it. Did I mention that the Luttins are based off a friend of mine's and my own extended family? You might be a Luttin if....

I like it

Btw, I hope you liked Zan's general view of you

It's not "The Traveler's Church", but the "Church of the Traveler" - one of the Dark Six... Though I imagine they're a little less rabid about their beliefs than your average assassin cult or something. I thought it would be appropriate for a bunch of people who were a bunch of pirates, thieves, and ne'er-do-wells. They might have Silver Flame regalia up though, lending to some confusion. It would be a really funny misunderstanding if Khalia thought they were simply sincere advocates of the Silver Flame though, because the Luttins thought Khalia was an emissary from "the main Church of the Traveler" wherever that might be. Luttins are CN after all, and it's not as if they're likely to have had any real religious training. They probably set up their church simply because the old one shut down, or there wasn't enough singing in the other one, or the other church doesn't allow people to come in with their hunting lizards.

Since Khalia is way too bright to be confused about something like that (and, moreover, attempts to confuse the general populace would lead to a very, very angry young noblewoman in town), I'll have to redo that part

...
What's Khalia's Sense Motive again? We're only first level and more than one Luttin is probably a near professional Liar.

and, moreover, attempts to confuse the general populace would lead to a very, very angry young noblewoman in town

They're likely all mostly uneductated fishermen living on the bare edge of civilization in a place plagued by lizard folk and thousands of miles away from anywhere. I'm generally just assuming that you don't have to confuse them, they're probably already a little confused to begin with. This ain't no high falutin' Sharn after all. It wouldn't be an attempt to confuse the truth, it would be a rather Luttinish mutable and tolerable view of the truth. They might very well have three or four religious books that they use as their texts that have nothing to do with each other. Silver Flame on Tuesdays, worshipping the Daelkyr on Sunday, The Traveler tying it all together in weird synergy...

But anyways, it would be just as interesting if there were a real church of the Silver Flame in Seawell that WAS fundamentalist and absolutely counter to the Luttin clan and way of life. Then Khalia would have a choice of dealing with an unpleasant and dictatorial superior for religious chats and hanging out with a bunch of heretical heathen Luttins that would tolerate just about anything or anyone if they liked them, saw a way to infuriate the other churchman, or had an angle that might be worth persuing (like giving themselves more credentials by hanging out with 'that purty rich girl')

Btw, I hope you liked Zan's general view of you

The good news about being a changeling in Seawell is that with Luttins around a changeling is probably seen as more trustworthy than normally. Or maybe Luttins deflect blame onto changelings as part of their schemes? You know, how does everyone KNOW Zan spends all the time in the library? I think it's cool.

Not great (just her Wisdom modifier, in fact). But books and buildings have no ranks in Bluff

Since there's certainly setting support for the first part of this (I didn't make up Elder Nevillom of Wyrmwatch), and that was how I'd written things originally, I think I'd go that route. LN Puritans really annoy her; she thinks they give the Church a bad name and spend too much time chasing after infedels and not enough time smiting whatever's coming out of Khyber this week.

Thanks!

Following up on my previous post, I did a little bit of editing of the Church-related sections of Khalia's background (dropped a micro-managing puritanical priestess of the Flame into town, and redid her thoughts on Nelson and family) over in the Rogue's Gallery thread.
