Further Adventures in New Ganthar (IC)

Lothrain nods, satisfied.

"Good. So be it."

He turns to Theo. "You were speaking, I think, of a Commune spell?"

[esorscher]

"Hold on a minute," Gunn says before Theo can cast his Commune spell. He looks at Lothrain with a hard glare. "Lothrain, you seem like a good person, and so I've tolerated your inquisition of Yara, not because I agree with you, and not because I mistrust her," he says as Perseus moves behind the Arbiter. "This is not your temple, it is mine, and while you call yourself my ally, you will respect my domain. Dismiss that spell of yours, and do it now," he says sternly, but not unkindly. "I'm sure you had no intention of offending, but nonetheless, you have given offense--which I freely forgive. Consider this a lesson on decorum. You are my guest, here. The next time you consider casting in my offices, be sure to seek my permission rather than my forgiveness." The glare fades to a tepid smile, "I'm sure you'll receive it." Gunn turns to Theo. "Now, then--before you cast your spell, Theo, what questions are we asking?"

"That is fine by me Yara, but um...you may have to point this Hesa out to me, I never got introduced and there were so many people at the temple playing guess who the person I am looking for is may take a while." The priestess of the Lover's says fidgeting a bit nervously with everything that had happened in Mr. Gunn's office. So Yara asking to leave was a relief to her stressed mind as she quickly excused herself and made a beeline out the door and to the docks where she hoped to find this Hesa person.

A short distance from the temple Sister Rosalind looks troubled by Yara's words, not that a cleric of a faith could see the woman, but that she would not be joining her due to fear of being destroyed. "I can not blame you for that, though last time we split up if I remember I ended up running into an Angel of Decay and Krom, not exactly the most friendly faces. Can you give me an idea of what to look for from this Hesa person so I can make sure I return with the right person to see you?" the priestess asks, waiting for some kind of explanation of what to look for before setting off, hoping Yara would be fine while she was gone.

Yara considers how to describe Hesa. She hadn't seen him in years. But, he was a high ranking soldier back home, he was probably well armoured in Feronaxian armour.
"I haven't seen Hesa either... Gun said he was standing guard at the temple. So, I'd expect he'd be standing somewhere outside. And likely armoured, my country often uses gleaming armour for soldiers of his rank. Look for someone with the dragon of Feronax drawn upon their armour, or someone with a similar skin colour to mine. I haven't seen this man in years, so I can't give a good description."
"What I'd need you to do is get Hesa over here. I don't know how much you should mention me being alive, but if he is here for me you could lure him away saying you have news from me, perhaps? If you have to say that I'm alive and asking for him, just try not to let Natalia or the devils hear in case they get suspicious. If I need to physically reclaim the energy, then surprise will be my best option."

Hesa had been standing guard for a long time, and still willing. Protecting the energy was his duty. Shifting his position once more to keep his muscles fresh, he notice someone coming down the road. A vaguely familiar woman... had she been at the fight?
She was unimportant, he told himself. He needed to watch the energy for signs of treachery. Turning back to the pillar, he turned his mind back to battle plans once the forces of Feronax arrived.

Gleaming armor, skin like Yara...had, military looking. "Well that should narrow it down, look for the guy with a dragon on his armor that isn't trying to kill me." Sister Rosalind says half joking given Krom's own armor before leaving Yara to her own devices, suspecting the spirit would stay close to where they departed for as long as she could.

Once close to the temple it didn't take long for Sister Rosalind to spot the figure with the dragon armor, even with Yara's very little description of the man, his focus on the pillar of energy was single minded much like her previous devotion to her draconian patronage. Making her way over to the man she stands by his side looking at the pillar of energy. "It is going to get cold soon, I am a friend of Mr. Gunn and form acquaintance of Yara, if you wouldn't mind I have a few questions for you that I think would best be done in private." she says as her head looks at the former temple of Malture. "By the way, my name is Sister Rosalind. I am a priestess of the Lover's that runs a hospice in the poor quarters for any who need aid, and looking at you I suspect you will need aid very shortly." she says once more eyeing the church before back to the man and his very clear line of sight to the pillar of energy.

"So, you were part of yesterdays fight..." Hesa says, glancing at the woman. "You claim to know Yara, then I can listen to you for a while. However, I can't be far from the pillar for long. Wherever you want to go better be close by."
After that he follows Rosalind. He had to learn about Yara, and this woman should be able to help him do so. But it was his duty to watch the pillar, and he felt slightly guilty that the major motivation of following the woman came from boredom.

Checking to see if he could see Yara
Edit: I'm going to say... noooooooo...

"My role was minor really, just making sure one of the forces stayed alive. Sadly we were trapped by a group of Vrocks and a few good men and women died that day with the group I was escorting." Sister Rosalind admits to the warrior as she leads him to the last place she had seen Yara. "It is not far I promise, however I like to keep my own company, and being so close to a temple of evil was never something I have grown accustomed to. After all in my homeland only two gods reign throughout the whole empire. From what I understand your home island is much the same, worshiping a dragon if I am not mistaken." Sister Rosalind says, trying not to sound disrespectful. However making it clear she knew very little about the "religion" he so called worshiped.

"When Yara was alive she very rarely spoke of her home, her deity quite often but not so much her homeland. I must wonder why you have come to New Ganther seeking her out, is it fate that brought you to the shores or perhaps something else?" Sister Rosalind says rubbing her chin as she leans against a wall looking around for Yara. "So Hesa, what would you like to know about Yara? I will answer what I can, however in return I ask that you trust me if I ask you to turn your back from the pillar for a longer time than this small chat. Depending on your character I may have someone I would like you to meet." she explains, watching the mans every movement.
