The mood in the room grows more tense as the parry asks their questions, some more interested then others, but never the less tension grows. Soren seems to wait till all the questions are asked, and then a sigh is heard from his lips.<strong>"The items in question will be a selection of protective charms, magical implements, and enchantments that my fellows and I can place upon the equipment you already have. No reason to gain new items when you can simply improve the quality of those you already posses."</strong>The High-Priest explains before he reaches his hand up to touch the symbol around his neck, letting it give off a slight glow before the door to the room shuts tight.<br/><br/>The High-Priest's features grow more serious then, and he stares at the rogue first, then the archer, and last the paladin.<strong>"So far as what the relic does, that is a matter of who uses it. It's no item that can shatter worlds, but it can shatter the balance between my sort and the gods. We rely on a connection to receive our power, if they could use it to it's full potential, they could leave my entire faith with only the most rudiment blessings from Elora. The ties simply wouldn't be strong enough. I can comfortably tell you all this, because I know none of you have the power to use the item."</strong><br/><br/>Soren doesn't mince words any, and takes only a moment before continuing.<strong>"The note is in my quarters, I can let you see it after you give me the response. I'll also answer two questions at once. You asked why I did not send my own forces, and what you could expect. It is my belief that they are savages, Orcs to be exact. Champions of Adelle most likely. The reason I won't send the templars is three pronged. One, it leaves the temple open to attack, two the fact that the item disappeared so easily means that the temple may be infiltrated, and three it would signal full on conflict between the servants of two gods."</strong>The High-priest seems to grow weary of speaking from here.<br/><br/><strong>"Such a thing can't happen yet. The temple of Elora is always at a low level conflict with Odysseus and Adelle, but it's on the backing of the nation. That would be an attack from the faith itself, giving strife to a cause. It's what they hope for, such an act would weaken the veil. Now if this answers your questions, I'd prefer some answers to my own. It'll be a long day as is, and I'd like at-least like a time line of when you could respond."</strong>His tone softens with the last words, as do his features, and he looks around at the lot of you in question.<br/><hr/>OOC: I'll send the information Seladin's hunch gives him by PM. As for the rest of you, roleplay out your reply and feel free to move on. You don't need to wait for my reply right here unless you you need a response from Soren.
