[Animayhem]

In a room in the citadel, Caramiriel opens her book and writes.

" If anything could be learned from the rabble rousing incident is that little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So far there has been no repeat of the loud gatherings however, the quiet made some temples a anxious so they sent messages offering insight to find the answers.

I was on patrols and telling people about Silvanus, when Mason showed up. We barely had time to acknowledge us when some ravens arrived and dropped messages. It was slightly encrypted but the mmeting place was at the Temple of Sharess. This thought was very unsettling to Mason for some reason, but we were both intrigued and decided to go. On the way he briefly explained she was a joke, nothing more than a goddess of prostitues. I responded by saying everyone needs a protector. However the fact she was in his opinion, Goddess of the harlots, cats seem to cause him unease as well though he seemed to like my panther Yith.

We were not the only ones as Hazlok who was still an apprentice had arrived. I started to understand Mason's discomfort as the priest asked us if we were here for the orgy. Shortly after that remark by which we both hastily declined others started to arrive. The priest was in shock but when Mason showed him the letter all thoughts of the orgy where dropped for the moment. Others present were Sylonara, Djed,Garic,Koriseil,and Grace. We waited awhile longer and when it seemed no more were coming the questions started. The priest had left leaving Sensate Elliana Sendry to answer.

The sensate began by telling us the basic tenents of the faith and seemed a bit concerned that Sharess was referred int Mulan term Bast. We then learned about what enemies,rivals and allies the goddess had as well as what other temples may supply pieces to the puzzle. She tried her best to disuade us from leaving and enjoy the pleasures the temple had to offer mostly focusing on Mason who seems as jumpy as a rat among cats.

We boarded a caravan to Moszabbar and the temple of Set and the snakes. It was decided that when we arrived that Hazlok would speak to the priestess as although not a wizard he was an apprentice so would probably be tolerated as inquisitor. After some time past the caravan started to shake violently and not the typical jarring caused by hitting rough patches in road and a bright light had appeared.
The caravan stopped and the leader was shouting for assistance. Although competent warriors were with us to rush out would be foolish. Hazlok summoned his familiar who surveyed the scene. The bandits were dead but not killed by the leader. The caravan started moving again but the suddenly the pace became very rapid causing the friction from the wheels to catch fire. Attempts were made to put it out but they failed. Suddenly without warning we were flying through the air at a rapid pace. Whether by the wild magic surge caused when Hazlok used the rod of frost or another agency it was frightening to say the least.

We arrived in Moszabbar whole a bit battered and bruised but alive except the caravan was in pieces. We were on the outskirts so had to walk into the city and head straight to the temple. Once inside we moved cautiously as the floor was alive with snakes. We sheathed our weapons and allowed Hazlok to approach and state our mission. Djed went to the altar and placed some coins as he uses snake venom in his line of work but stayed there silently allowing Hazlok to speak.

As in the temple of Sharess, questions were asked about enemies, allies and to learn more of Set. After she spoke she asked us if we knew who Set's enemies maybe. Much was mentioned about Mulani culture and I must confess although Mulan my knowledge was limited due to the fact I was raised by the Elves. However for some strange reason the answer came to me, I removed my helm and replied,
"Mayhap Horus-re..... *thinks* Osiris.... and mayhap... what was the name? oh yes Nepthys." I could feel eyes on me and awaited for the priestess response.
It seems I was correct, however at the mention of the names the priestess seemed highly agitated and we decided that we should probably go while she was in a good mood. Leaving was not as easy as entering as there was a strange field by the door. The decisions to stay in a place full of snakes where an angry priestess could call them to attack or risk going through an unknown barrier we chose the barrier. With an unkown energy we were pushed forward and wound up in the temple of Hoar which we were happy to be in and which made Grace even more so as he was her god.

High Priest Coll Arngard acknowledged us and was sorry healing services were no longer available. He then proceeded to updat us on Hoar's progress in his path to venegence which seemed not to go well though the god still lived. The priest stopped however as suspicion clouded his features. In an effort to put him at ease so we could continue our questions, I removed my helm and took out the blade Hoar gave me and Grace also spoke up for us. Then suddenly as it did in Set's temple knowledge of pantheon alliances came to me some were the ones mentioned in the priest's oration. Looking at the priest I said.
"Are not Bast and Nephthys allies to Anhur?" The priest obivously shaken at what I said confirmed it and added that we should seek vengence and destroy Hoar's enemies. It was during this time Cyrus entered the temple.

Before we could leave however we were attacked by fanatical paladins which we finally managed to subdue. Please the attackers were vanquished the priest assumed they were of Anhur though no affliation was found on the bodies which were in essence a tithe and tribute to Hoar. As to where a temple to Anhur could be found noone seemed to know. Then for a third time knowledge came to me and I replied, "Murbant.. I think..." However it was not Anhur's temple that was revealed to me but on of his allies. I continued. "I read Nephty's temple is there."
More discussion was had and it was agreed to go to Murbant but at another time and with a plan. Garric and I could go there as being legion noone would bother us much, even Cyrus, Kori and Grace although not of the Priador were still legion.

As we left the temple I asked Garic to walk with me. I explained I was quite shaken at the knowledge revealed to me as I could not be sure from what source. Even Garic's suggestion that could be hidden memories which were supressed due to me be raised by Elves. We got on the caravan back to Bezantur, myself,Garic, and Hazlok. After we arrived, I invited them back to my home to refresh themselves
but more so for me as I needed the peace of the shrine. I told garic that it seemed from this unknown source, I was not to go to Murbant and that my job was completed as a messenger. He was greatly disappointed as we had grown to trust each other as friends. After they left .I spent a long time meditating in my shrone and prayed those who would go would be safe."

Yawning, she closes her book, puts it in her back and decides to sleep at the barracks too tired to walk to her home.
