"Probably not, but such a thing has not yet happened. Regardless, if a 'spirit' acts benevolent, why would you not treat it as such until otherwise proven?"

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

"For the same reason I would not trust the... unsolicited benevolence of a man or woman acting the same way unless I knew exactly what it wanted from me. Outward benevolence can be the... disguised maw of a predator. Spirits do things and think differently than men or women because they are not men or women. This makes me distrust them even more."

"I could argue further, but we have reached an impasse; you refuse to trust anything unless you know why they act as they do, whereas I am content to know they aid me. Good day, ma'am."

"The aid of spirits and people alike should not always be gratefully accepted. I only hope you do not find this out in the easiest of ways. There is still the matter of my spot."

She points at the taken spot of refuge.

"Then feel free to do so. We have spoken enough. It was good practice for me, but is growing wearisome."

"Alright then. Have a good day."

Pack up my gear and head out.

Turn 38 - Possibly The Most Underwhelming Turn Yet

Gronok looks for something to toss into the black liquid before forging ahead.

[Search roll: 3]

Well, there's some dust. He throws dust on the black liquid.

It is now dusty in one spot. Well, Gronok has certainly learned a lot.

Elizas follows his only lead on Gezerim's location while informing her of his intentions!

"Wait, I shall not harm you! I only wish to ask you something!"

[Fleeing Woman response roll: 4]

She stops after a bit of running, perhaps realizing that it is unlikely that she'd get too far away, anyway.

"You're not going to hurt me? Honest?"

She looks really nervous about something. Hm.

* * * * *

After speaking with Zarah for some time, Phiali finds no fertile ground for the word of God in her mind. Not only does she refuse to believe that God is more than a spirit, she also refuses to trust God's word that he is benevolent and seeks only the best for his followers. How unfortunate for her.

"Alright then. Have a good day."

"I will. Good day."

With that, he takes all of the stuff he left on the ground and heads out. So this is what the border has to offer - crazed and stupid guards of a temple and its priests, dwindling isolationist cults and antisocial hermits. Hardly a truly open mind in sight in this area.

"I do not even have pockets."

It's true, he really doesn't. None of the prisoners had any clothes - this guy, the best clothed of all of them, is simply wrapped in some dirty rags and that's all.

"It took me twenty years of imprisonment to collect all these rags from other dead prisoners and fashion them into something vaguely like a robe."

"Yes, actually. There's one right next to you, in fact."

He points a long, bony finger at a torch that is, indeed, right next to you.

"Ah, excellent. Back away, please."

Touch the torch to the liquid that is certainly not oil, then back the hell up.
