Re: With Kalima

"Benny, how certain are you that the touch of Hermes, through you, would affect only  actual evil this way?  Might it, like Kalima's spear, have this effect because of the opposition of this man's origin to the sphere where Hermes resides, independent of the choices he has made in his life?

"I ask because every other demon we've seen since Kalima joined us has been violent and unhesitating in returning her animosity -- yet this man stood steady, both before her spear and as you tested him, despite what must have been terrible pain.

"No choice I might make, for instance to serve a god of fire, would ever erase the reaction of my flesh to that very fire I had sworn to serve; it is a physical vulnerability, and only specific magic could temporarily override it.  Similarly, I believe that this man has chosen to serve the Tripartite god, despite his fleshly reaction to the holy.

"My Master, Albreth the Blind, once told me that you learn more about a man by what he does, than by the color of his skin or the shape of his ears.  He was speaking, at the time, of Urhaqui, but might not the same principle apply to one born of demons?"

Re: With Kalima

OOC:  Checking with the GM... gwythaint, by RAW Holy Touch shouldn't cause a baseline Infernal halfspirit to take damage, Benny isn't a Sanctified Area (or Holy Weapon).  His touch is like Holy Water and Holy Water requires a Weakness...  or is that changed and Benny's touch (and Holy Water) is devastating to Infernals?

In reply to Benny Morales (msg # 222):

Retconning slightly, the man shows signs of exhaustion rather than fresh wounds from Benny's touch. The spear did injure him.

Re: With Kalima

"So, what next?  Friar -- is that the right term?  Do you know of any demonic presences spreading chaos and evil hereabouts?

"We are under commission from the Hadereum to aid Mistress Kalima in hunting and destroying such.  We came to this Brazen Lane in search of demons and their followers, possibly distributing goods that carry the taint of the pits or tricking good people into their foul rituals."

"I book no truck with such  malefactors.  I suspect many in this alleyway of heresy or worse, but who am I  to judge another? There was a stall that was very popular, I think dedicated to The false gods of doorways and fertility  that was popular, as fertility cults often are, but I have not seen their people for days."

"These heretics makes mockery of the Triunist Faith, and name Angels whose names I can speak without harm as instrumental to their rites... I  am not certain what tht means, but if I name some Angels and Saints in my prayers, it is especially exhausting,  perhaps because of their holiness. "

Re: With Kalima

"So, am I correct in understanding, then, that the Process Church claim to worship the same god as the Triunists, but include beings Triunists would consider devils or demons among their saints?

"And 'Final Judgment' -- that reminds me of what those other cultists have spoken of, the ones who sacrificed a demon to summon something other..."

Re: With Kalima

Mancini wonders if this repented demon could be swayed to help the group locate the falsehoods of the cult....

"Does not your own scriptures say that faith without works is dead? I ask this not to offend you, as I can see you are in fact a holy man,. but we know very little about Triunist doctrine and humbly beseech you to come with us to inform us of any blasphemous texts or trinkets being distributed in the name of your God."

The i fernal friar leads you down the lane, and points at a stall that has a triangle with a cross within a circle painted on it.




occ:it looks like the deathly Hallows symbol, except with a crossbar at the top third of the circle.
