Regrouping back at Cabreus House
Diantha eventually realizes that the others are not really up to the task of filling in Titus and Gondioque on what's going on. She's beginning to wonder if she has the right group.
Still, years have passed while she's waited for an opportunity. If this is what the gods have sent her... perhaps Minerva means it as a test of her faith and wits.
She reiterates what she told the others already:
“I am Diantha of the Temple of Minerva, goddess of Wisdom, patron of teachers and scholars. We were one of the first temples in Massilia,” Diantha says. “A thousand years. No one knows the exact date, but a thousand years is close enough. There have been fifty seven High Priestesses since. The school was built on the early crypt, and I think the spirits of the some of them may be helping to protect it from the Goths. The current high priestess… well, in a way it is me. It’s really Majamri, but she had retired and passed the title to Zerrin, but the Orcs killed Zerrin so Majamri was reinstated. But she’s very, very old now and stays home. She is the high priestess in title, because I am not ready. Soon, I hope, not yet.”
"We still have use of our temple, though it's not much of a temple. Minerva does not see fit to invest in vanities. Of far greater value to us was the school. So important was it that through the years, our high priestesses invested it with the best of their defensive blessings, and invoked powers to protect it. Not even the Goths with the help of their infernal masters could bring it down, though they still try, and every year they grow stronger. Instead, they have sealed it up, and placed their own cursed guardians to patrol it. I believe important secrets are guarded within. I cannot say what, because the high priestesses always guarded the secret and did not pass it to me. But I know, important. I was hoping that these few would help me solve the puzzle of entry, and then explore it. We went to see the last High Priestess, but the years have weighed upon her, and her mind is no longer sharp. I cannot seem to communicate with her... and so Bryon suggested you."
