[Temple of Dalachrech]

Charynrae's speech makes One quite nervous. She returns Charynrae's smile despite that nuisance, albeit anxiously. One wonders whether or not the slaves have to pass a similar ritual. One has worshiped gods that Dalachrech might be at odds with (although the chance of that is extraordinarily low, as the gods One formerly revered aren't from the Abyss or even from the realm of reality where those who serve Dungeons and Dragons gods and goddesses exist). Still, the thought does worry her, especially since failing the ritual would likely result in the death of the participant.

"What if the brand had remained? Would you have, um, killed him, Reverend Mistress?"

One hesitantly asks, already sure of her answer but desiring confirmation lest she be mistaken (and how One would love to be mistaken in her suppositions concerning this issue).
