'Being ready to pick a fight'? Well... true, she had been pretty wild when she'd arrived until fifteen... but she was<em>much</em>better now.  After querying everyone... well, it seems that she was a bit of a pariah due to fear; when she was around she naturally intimidated people with her strength, worried people because she was the strongest thing around, and even Demi would be fully capable of killing the entire guard if she'd really wanted to, most likely.  Chess personally wasn't fond of the thought, but it could have been worse, but with regards to the drow of her temple... she needed to change that, and that would start with changing her own image...<br/><br/>...but Chess was not an experienced politician, which is why the Sharessan temple was in charge of helping improve the standing of Chess and Eilistraee's followers... and that is why she'd be going now to have a conversation with her... and talk with Demi along the way.<br/><br/>"So, Demi, any ideas on how I can improve my image, and the image of the temple?" Chess asked, then added "Oh, and we're heading to the Sharessan temple now, since they're the ones who are supposed to be helping to improve the public opinion of myself and my temple and people beyond our own efforts, considering how socially apt and friendly they all are.  I just pray that their opinions of me are better... though I suspect the Selunites, Sharessans, and Sun Soul Monks all know the real me, and thus the real nature of myself and Eilistraee's faith."<br/><br/>(Sorry it took so long to reply; was busy all weekend like you knew I was ^_^)<br/>(Also, just a comment, but it makes sense that the Selune and Sharess temples, given their natures and very close ties to the Eilistraee temple, would know the real drow and Chess.  Likewise, Chess spent ten years at the Sun Soul Temple, even though she was initially forced into it before growing to understand and 'enjoy' it, so they likely know her rightly as well, and thus the Eilistraeen temple as well.  This is just my theory to explain where Chess is coming from, nothing more)
