Part The Twoth - Bearing Mostly on Fools' Ebony and Temples
Same place, same Inn, A bottle or two later. Enter Prologue, the Adventurer, and Lheben

priests has rushed off in pursuit of his lamp girl. And, unless I've forgotten something or

(Enter RAIC and STETE)
RAIC: Evening Lheban! Evening stranger. My fellow priest here is Stete, I am Raic. We are
honored to serve Julianos.
ADVENTURER: What is this, anyway - Priests night out? And ... I thought that your

Stendarr?
RAIC: A common misconception, friend ...
