My Paladin Has No Nose

[calair.livejournal.com]

Having killed the dragon mentioned previously, and taken an inventory of its treasure, we discussed our next move.

Neil wanted to wander off and pray to Heironeous for a little while, in an attempt to regain his powers as a paladin. I wanted to return to the House of Fine Hats to see whether there was any word from the Sensates regarding my membership application (see recent letters); we agreed that with the dragon gone there should be no major threats within the area - although I would still like to know what the malign presences are that I felt so deep under the mountain - and I headed back to Delros with Kanaye, while Neil found himself a quiet spot on the mountainside and the others dealt with the remainder of the treasure.

A couple of days later, I heard word that they had returned to the Temple of Silverlight, and I made my way over there to see what was going on. I found them in the temple along with a rather aggrieved-looking young man - I say 'man', but he can barely have been more than eighteen - arguing about recent events. Although individual judgements on the actions taken seem to differ wildly, there seems to be no real argument about the actions themselves, and I will set them out as they are recorded in the temple archives; I have added a few details filled in later by the young man and the priests in conversation, and by one other who I shall mention in due course.

( A stirring tale of heroism. Or something. )
