Scene 15: Return to Hollow Hill
The priestess listens to all three greetings with a perfect poker face. When Kalista mentions a concern of vampires here, she hears a few stifled chuckles from the crowd behind her. All this time, Ethan's eyes glaze over as he becomes lost in his own medi-nerd musings.
When a pause occurs, the priestess of Dragonwright says, "We are very secure in Harl Hall and require no rescue from outsiders. We have means that you do know, both practical and divine, of repelling invasions. If you must see the young mother to relieve your own minds, we will allow it. Our clergy is very busy tonight preparing for our Day of the Dead which begins in the morning. As guests, you may remain in the clergy's home, but you are not allowed to wander at night, and you may not invoke other gods while on church rock. Are these terms understood?"
About this time, Geraldo returns (yeah, that was quick actually). To not exclude Ethan, he speaks in American, "I found the lass. As I suspected, she's still at the healer's clinic. Healer's not there though. I'll escort you there, but be quick about it. I have my duties elsewhere."
The priestess says, (returning to Elven-Dragonese) "Commander Geraldo, we can escort the guests. You need not pull yourself away from your sentry any longer."
Geraldo: "Honor requires that see to our guests. Besides, they seem determined, and I won't be able to pry my pikewoman from that lanky boy's arm until he's done whatever it is he needs to do."
To the crowd, the priestess says, "Go home, all of you. The nightwatch needs the streets clear, and all good dwarves not the in the nightwatch should be in their beds. Go home!" With a abrupt turn, she retreats back into her temple and closes the heavy doors behind her.
