Oh well, we'll keep things moving that way. </div></div><br/>As Lydia gets close to Horgus, she hears him bickering with Anevia again, and its starting to get loud once more.<br/><br/>"I do not understand you Horgus. How can you not appreciate this place? It was built for one of the greatest gods of law that exists!"<br/><br/>"My priorities are my own. I remain practical and building a chapel so far from civilization is counter-intuitive, at least to my mind."<br/><br/>Anevia responds with a scowl. "I'm not surprised that a man so afraid of acknowledging his own faith could not see the beauty here. Being ashamed of one's faith is almost as bad as worshiping demons!"<br/><br/>Horgus narrows his eyes. "Thank you for confirming that you broke into my warehouses. For the record, I do not take kindly being scolded by those who consort with thieves and if you ever accuse me of something so foul again, I will make sure that you wife and everyone she reports to knows of how you tried to steal back the Tirabade Blade after Irabeth sold it to Kandro Nyserian."<br/><br/>At that Anevia is slack jaw with both shock and rage.<br/><br/>Horgus is a bit caught off guard by Lydia's attempt to reconcile with him.<br/><br/>"It's... more complicated than that. I grew up in Eastern Mendev, born in a noble house that was slaughtered when I was just a boy. I've fended for myself since then with the only asset I've got. I don't believe in hoarding money, I believe in using it to improve things. I'm more than willing to spend coin to ensure something happens. That's why I'm out here. There's oppertunity for growth, and that growth can be translated into protection of the entire Inner Sea. Or at least that's what I thought until a Balor Lord just smashed through our defences."<br/><br/>"Oh, cut the crap and cryptic talk. You're at the very least a lay priest of Abdar and have donated to the crusades dozens of times for large sums of money, even if you are a complete asshole! No wonder no one trusts you. There's something of a soul in there, even if you try and bury it."<br/><br/>Horgus shoots the scout a very, very dirty look.<br/><br/>"Okay, I sorry threatened a minute ago, and understand your pissed off, but that's because you have pissed me off! Believe it or not, I'm going to let it go, but it's not your business to tell people things I have deemed to keep quiet!"<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">challenge</div><div class="spoiler_body">Horgus is starting to calm down, but Anevia hasn't yet and things are about to get ugly. An appropriate social skill check (Diplomacy, Bluff, Intimidate or Sense Motive) could calm her down and diffuse the situation. </div></div>
