Of course, he hadn't expected them to be. At least they had her name and more information, even if that information set every superstitious alarm in his head going off. Nameless patrons from beyond the known realms found in caves by little halfling girls? It seemed like a cautionary tale for children about not wandering into spooky areas. Or perhaps Leigh was just being spineless.<br/><br/>"You've been in solitude all of this time, worshiping this entity, with no response?" Leigh's voice was more colored with incredulity than judgment. "I imagine receiving any message must have been... Strange. Unexpected, at least. Even a vague one like that." While the cleric part of him probably should have been a bit more wary about this strange woman and her likely dangerous patron, he was understandably curious.<br/><br/>"Vathymia... That's a country. I assume Brenmarsh is an area or a town there. And I'll be a marlin's mother if<em>The Silken Key</em>isn't the name of a tavern. But maybe that's the sailor in me talking." Leigh was clearly contemplating the answer to the vague message. He blinked a few times as he realized he had been giving serious thought to these words that may very well have been the insane ramblings of a woman gone mad from isolation in a cave. Of course, they could very well be real.<br/><br/>Leigh thought for a moment. He had just about exhausted his search in Tollmouth. Nobody had seen what he sought, and perhaps it was time to move on to other ports. Maybe this could be an excuse to move elsewhere, investigate this situation, and kill two birds with one stone.<br/><br/>"I will consult Valkur this evening. He may offer guidance to help solve all of this... Or at least guide me on what to do." A proper, diplomatic response that didn't commit him to anything. Perfect.
