Chye tries a diplomatic approach...

As Chye tries to be diplomatic, Chou-Zhen approaches the group of black-turbanned folk, taking his leather whip in his right hand, and with a gesture calling his lightning whip into his left as he walks.

In Aralaise, he addresses them.  "Do you need assistance with a demon?  I have some experience in fighting such."  He then repeats himself in Shevnian and Sahudese.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 627):

"We always pray to Kali when we see such beings, She consumes them. That one though, her Avatar has ignored, I know not why. Those assaulting it seem to be upset about some substance being invalid... Tell me, have you heard the good news of the Vampire Goddess?"

"What is Her name?"

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 629):

a chorus answers "KALI-MA!"

In reply to cultist (msg # 630):

The mob beset infernal, wearing the vestments of a Triunist acolyte turns at this, ignoring the refuse striking him.
"Kalima? I know her! She nearly skewered me with her speatmr, and then she stopped. She is hunting demons, though.

I apologize,  we didn't know the water was tainted...ow... Father Robard will see that each of you... ow...recieve a fresh vial from the newly...ow...reconsecrated font...ouch!"

"Ah yes, I know Kalima. She was part of one of my first endeavors, here in the city. She makes good cakes!"

"Chye like her already."

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 633):

Saishi watches and learns. The infernal does not seem evil...it is odd indeed.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 632):

ooc, that was Kho Kilana, scion of a Fertility god.

Now approaching the Triunist-dressed infernal, Chou-Zhen keeps his whips low at his sides.

"One does not often see one of your kind in those vestments.  It would seem these good Hindu folk would have you eaten -- but by the fact you have not destroyed any of them, I would presume they are mistaken about your intentions."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 636):

"I have no issue with them, those quarreling with me are of my own faith. Some dastard defiled the holy water font, causing it to be tainted, and these good folk..ouch!..are rightfully enraged at what they view.. ow! ..to be a deception or act of fraud on my part. I fear that my heritage supports their belief. My father had coerced a nun to abandon her vows, and I am sure they expect the same faithlessness from me."

"So, you need to get to your sanctuary here in the district?"

Would Saishi know of this? [Private to GM: Rolled 3 under Theology]

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 639):

"I only maintained a stall selling prayer beads, hymnals, and holy water. The sanctuary is in the Cathedral,  cross town from herr."

[Private to Sashi Jin:
Saishi never met the celestial in question, and she is low on the scale, being a grandchild of an a atar of a divinity... a roll under 6 might cinch it.]

"Why don't you come with me to the palace? I'm bringing men here to make good, our shipment."
You'll be safe in the meanwhile, and can go to your sanctuary in peace."

Iskander offers.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 641):

"I suppose it would be safer to travel in numbers."

Iskander makes the sign of the cross.
"Excelsior!"

"Chye wait here with Caravan, and help maintain here, til house men come!"

Chou-Zhen looks at Iskander.  "I will wait with Chye, unless you think you will need my assistance."  He turns to the infernal.

"I am Chou-Zhen Mou.  I serve the Omo Sakemoko, and am an unbeliever in your faith, but perhaps you and I should form a club."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 645):

"I should meet this new benefactor, though the events here also interest me.

Saihi Jin, harvest priest." He adds, as he introduces himself to the odd non-evil diabolical. But then, it is not the strangest thing he has seen...

"Alright, those who wish to come."
Iskander leads the way to the palace of Sakemoko-sama!

In reply to Iskander (msg # 647):

Saishi will go with him.

Ales will stay behind to help guard the caravan until Omo's men can properly secure it.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 649):

when the infernal is brought near the compound, Numbah Three Son charges out toward him with his Naginata!
