[20.4] FOOLS' EBONY IV
(Raic grapples Stete, allowing Lheban to hit Stete with a large mallet)
ADVENTURER: Well, Raic, what about you and the School? How much are you good for,
the extra 2000? And maybe some more - always lots of last minute expenses on a trip like
this, you know.
RAIC: Well now. Since we seem to getting a whole extra sect of Priests, and ... other
considerations ... Certainly!
ADVENTURER: Well, gentlemen -- Oh, and Stete -- here it is!
(The Adventurer pulls out a map, gives it to Raic)
Oh, by the Arms of Zenithar, did I ever have to work hard for this! Those cagey Mages! But,
in the end, just greedy old fools! ... Oh, just in case you or your, er, Head Priest, hasn't seen
the goods -- here's a sample. Play with it.
(The Adventurer hands Raic a small leather bag)
RAIC: Thank you, thank you. I must admit, I had some ... well, some doubts. You know -
dealing with a stranger, so on ... No more. Partner!
ADVENTURER: Good, good!
(Stete hiccoughs)
STETE: Say, you fellows ever hear this one -- what's a Priest keep under his robe? Haha --
His sister! Haheheha!
(The Adventurer, Lheban, and Raic beat Stete into unconsciousness)
RAIC: You know, I fear that we really have to do something about young Stete here ... his
sister thing ... ugh!
ADVENTURER: Yes, he could be another Komon -- just what don't need!
LHEBAN: Hmmmm. This sister of his -- does she really -- exist?
RAIC: Oh yes. My. Oh yes. We know her well - I mean, we have often seen her ...
LHEBAN: I think, Brother, that she should be made to see the errors of her ways. So she is no
longer an influence on Stete ...
RAIC: Yes, most certainly ... Hmmm ...
LHEBAN: A somewhat Dibelytical theological point -- Oh, please excuse the technical
discussion here - Raic, if we are to make her see the errors -- well, how shall I put it -- we first
have to know just what the ... ways ... are, correct?
