[hider=Local elf found dead for talking too much.] Before Vani could even process the fact that he was cut off from the girl, he'd have to process the fact that a wall of [b]bone[/b] just did it. And then, the voice talking to Kaze would send a chill down his spine. This...was not shaping up to go well. Looking to his side, Vani would also recoil as another unfamiliar figure was present in the room, another adventurer with a bow at his side. When did she get here!? Vani would shudder at the way the old coot was addressing them [i]directly[/i]. How did he know...well, Vani had his God's symbol on his shield...but that was facing away from the man. And then the heaps...this was turning dangerous fast. Was he the one spawning bone walls? Vani would ever so slightly smile, trying to humor the man as he gave his best poker face...which was decidedly terrible.

It sounds like a LOT of fun, so I definitely wouldn't want to miss out on a chance to meet Lolan in person!"[/b][/color] Vani's words were as dishonest as could be, since he had absolutely no intention of dying. Especially not to some old cook. But the longer her talked, the more of a chance Kaze might have to put him into a much overdue retirement. [color=FFDEAD][b]"So, how's life? How're your kids, your grandkids, you have grandkids right? Handsome old guy like you probably has tons of 'em. So how'd you get started on this whole 'joining' business because I for one think it is an absolutely GREAT offer as someone who works really, really hard serving the Gods. Where'd you get your robe made sir, I'd like one just like that for my old man at home, bless his heart...[/b][/color] [/hider]
