Bilfro:
"The gods? The GODS? Are you saying, then, that we are not responsible for all that happened. Did the gods decide to descend upon that village from the sky, murder all of those people, and then start a blazing inferno for their own deific amusement?"
The conversation seems to be jumping around all over the place, but Aarnr is always happy to discuss matters of theology, and it seems the wizard is in need of some comforting advice regarding the article of faith that the gods are out to get their mortal servants.
"Yes," the priest agrees, pleased that Bilfro seems to be getting the gist of it.
Certainly the fire was a complete surprise, though it proved that his own instincts in that regard were correct, or at least in accord with those who dwell above ... and obviously a lot of people died, mostly at his own hand, though there again, the god was riding him at the time.
"Ye have to be froggin' stern with the gods if ye wish to avoid such tragedies."
To think he'd missed out on all the arson and most of the slaughtering. Even the death of the old man he
did remember killing, apart from the beslubberin' masons of course, but they didn't count, was not only almost accidental, but turned out to be more than the venomed, pigeon-livered greybeard deserved ! Aarnr was definitely going to be exceptionally rude to Bowbe on the morrow for that oversight !
