Ramal pulls his shirt on and nods.

"Of course. I am intrested to know anything I can learn. There is another option I think as well but one I am wary of. When I entered the city called Bright Sentry I heard a whispering there, inside of my head. It said it knew about me too, but is best to be wary of such things."

"Bright Sentry will be my next stop anyway.

Perhaps I will share what I found out from that priestess with the Heironites... their methods might be questionable in their effeciency but they are, after all, forces of law."

He leads Ramal down to the chapel, hoping to find the priests there.

They enter the chapel. The priest greet them.

"What can we do for you?"

"First I want to offer these books to you, for your scribes to copy, to be added to the secrets this shrine protects. Second I want to make a small donation to this shrine... to thank for your hospitality and support."

He offers the found books and also a bag containing 100 platinum coins.

"Third... I come to learn secrets so I am trsusting in your wisdom and am requesting your help.

What do you know about this man?"

He gestures at Ramal.

The one priest takes what he offers. In there way they answer his questions.

"We thank you."

"We do."

"We know a little."

"We know the shrines keeper does not want him here."

"We know the demons march."

"We know they will be at Bright Sentry soon."

"We know the town will burn."

"We know the people will die."

"We know we must hide."

"We know you are not of our faith."

"We know those not of our faith cannot know how we hide."

"We know you must leave."

"We know you will be welcome when we return."

"But for know we know you must go."

Hasclaan nods, not asking more.

"There is a Glabrezu Skeleton in front of the temple, hidden under water. If you have use for it take it to bolster the defenses. We will go now.

May only the Whispered One know your secrets."

He bows slightly, then walks out of the temple, only stopping to gat his belogings from the room.

"Does this happen a lot to you?", he asks Ramal.

Ramal's sour expression suggests he is less than happy about this.

"Only because you freed me."

Hasclaan nods, accepting the man's decision silently.

Walking down a flight of stairs he turns right, ducks into a lower, dark tunnel.

"Please follow this corridor to the chamber at the end. You can watch from there, Ramal."

Then he straightens is clothings and makes his way to his prisoner's cell.

Screms resound around the temple for the next hour and the smell of burning flesh fills the halls. An acolyte is sent to see what is happening but once he sees what is going on he leaves quickly. Ramal watches all unblinking and when he sees what is left of the woman's remains his only reaction is a shrug.

"She used to be so pretty."

After closing the door to the cell behind him Hasclaan turns to his right, washing his hands in a small copper basin.

He does not bother to remove the blood where is sprayed over his clothes yet- there will be time for that later. The necromancer seems strangely relaxed, content, heading first to the kitchen to get himself a meal (and something for the demoncat as well) then returns to the room that was assigned to Ramal and himself.

Setting down the bowl of food for the feline after he put a strong but tasteless sleeping poison into it he then sits on the bed, studying the notes he made, copying them and afterwards he starts to write his first report to the Fraternity.

the situation here is worse than expected.

Several followers of the local power called IUZ are working actively to bring more demons to this prime and plan an assault on a major stronghold of law.

The forces of Heironeus struggle to contain this invasion but I suceeded in taking out one of Iuz' priestesses myself.

Attached to this message you will the protocols of that priestess interrogation.

Now he eats himself, then uses some scrolls from his collection to summon an Imp.
