"Woah there sir." says one of the acolytes. "The Father nor any of the Elder staff are taking visitors at the moment, if you are not aware services were just held, and something happened during them. The Elders of the Church are in a reflection meeting, and shall not be disturbed. I could send for you when they are finished and let Father Calmert know that you wish to speak with him, or is there something I may be able to handle." he asks.

"What happened during the service?" Storm asks the acolyte.

OOc: is an acolyte a lay person or is he ranked character like me?

"Two men from the Old Faith started calling out blasphemies after the sermon. They were escorted outside and forced to leave the service, after they dumped out sacks of druidic trappings, I'm not sure what they call them, small sticks bundled to look like people, and sacks of herbs." he says.

The Acolyte is a low level Priest of St. Cuthbert, likely a level one.

"I see. Father Calmert told me about thr druids. How long do you think it will take for me to see him? I assure you my affairs are urgent and he WILL be interested in what I have to say," Storm says.

The Acolyte shakes his head. "I shall not question the reflection time of the Elders. That is not my place. I've been instructed not to interrupt them unless its of dire emergencies, and I shall make that decision, what is your urgency to speak to the Father?" he asks.

"I am certain you know of Black Jay's sheep? I found out why they die but I am unable to do anything about the evil. However, I believe the proest will be able to do something. As it is night now, it will be good to interdict the evil as it ises. I guess routing this evil will certainly boosts the standing of the church vis-a-vis the druids. And I am willing to help in anyway I can," Storm replies.

The Acolyte nods. "I see.. I know that Father Calmert visited Black Jay a few days ago, and the two spoke about his sheep. The Father returned, something clearly on his mind, maybe he came to the same conclusion. If so he did not express it to us. But This does not warrant us interrupting him or the elders." he says.

Suddenly the door of the Abby swings open and another Acolyte rushes inside. You can see that he has blood stains on the bottom of his robe, his eyes wide stark afraid. He seems frantic and disheveled. You can see claw rips across his robes. He falls to the ground and passes out. The other Acolyte you are talking to quickly rushes to him and leans down to check his wounds. The disheveled Acolyte doesn't seem to be wounded, the blood not his. Clutched in his right hand is a blood soaked dagger.

Storm checks the acolyte to see if he is breathing. If he is not wounded but merely passes out, he will examine the dagger and awakes the acolyte using his heaing skills.

OOC: Uses religious knowledge identify dagger origins.

The dagger doesn't have any marks on it, other than being covered in blood. As you go to help the Acolyte, you see that he has exhausted from fatigue, sweat glistens off his forehead. Father Calmert steps out of the back area and walks over towards the three of them. "What is going on here?" he asks. The Acolyte looks up. "Brother Jaydon came in, his robes bloody, and this dagger in his hands." says the Acolyte.

The grumble of thunder outside brings the sounds of rain starting to fall hard outside. Flashes of lightning illuminate the windows as the storm starts coming down harder.

Storm examines the blood to see if it's human blood. He tries to massage the acolyte temples and arms to wake him up.
He will then look to the priest to see if he has any idea.

Father Calmert looks down at the exhausted, unconscious Acolyte. "Lets get him up stairs." he says Father Calmert grabs the legs, while the other Acolyte grabs the unconscious mans shoulders and they both lift, and start carrying the man towards the staircase. Father Calmert turns towards Stormrider. "Follow us." he says.

Father Calmert with the help of the others, gets the man upstairs and into one of the small chambers and onto a bed. Turning to Stormrider. "Did he say anything when he came in?" asked the Priest. "Where is the dagger he had." The other Acolyte pulls it out and hands it to Father Calmert. "Here you go sir." he says. Father Calmert looks over the blade, and then looks to the blood on the robes of the Acolyte, and the claw marks. "It looks like Brother Jaydon was attacked by something, and defending himself." he says. "Yes.. That has to be it." he adds.

Storm examines the acolyte for visible wounds and sees if he can patch his wounds. This being the priest's jurisdiction, he will seek permission from the priest before attempting to do so.

There are clearly no wounds on the man. No cuts, scraps, nothing.

Father Calmert turns to Stormrider. "Please, let him rest, that is what he needs now more than anything, even with our skills in healing, we shall allow him to rest and wake up on his own." he says. "Sorry, you have to excuse me, if I am being a little straight forward with you. We just had an outburst during our service and things have not been good today, I fear that this may be retaliation from the outburst. It looks as if Brother Jaydon was attacked by something, something large according to these claw marks. I can only guess that it was one of the animal creatures that those of the Old Faith keep as companions." he says.

Father Calmert listens to what Stormrider says about Black Jay, nodding along the conversation. "I went and spoken to Black Jay and checked on the sheep, I must admit I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to animals. But I too noticed the evil aura on the farm. I don't know what it means, I tried a consecration prayer and we assumed that it would end the sheep dying. It did not. I told Black Jay that I did not know what it was and suggested that he put up a flier on the notice board in town to try and find someone that could better investigate what was happening." he says. Father Calmert walks back downstairs leaving the acolyte to rest and for the other to look over him. He talks with Stormrider as they walk down the stairs.

"'Are there spells to make evil visible when they come so we can attack them?" Storm asks.

OOC: I assume the priest is at least level 5?

Father Calmert says. "I don't think that this evil is something that we can make visible. Its more an evil act, someone is coming to Black Jay's pasture and killing these sheep with malicious intent, anger, and hate. That is the evil that I detected. I just don't know who or what is doing it." he says.

Ah which means it's not an invisible entity doing it? There are no visible wounds on the sheep which suggests supernatural entity I think? What do u think sir?" Storm asks.

As he walks with Stormrider, Father Calmert tries two piece together the events of the eveing. First the graffit thsi morning, and then the outburst during the sermon. "There is much happening with the church right now, we can discuss this later." he says to Stormrider.

Another of the acolytes of the Church comes through the front entrance, noticing Father Calmert. "We have a problem Father, a group is forming outside the Inn in the streets. The Druid Jaroo, his bear was stabbed and killed and put on display, hung from a tree." he says. Father Calmert goes to the curio cabinet and opens it and takes out a large mace. He then heads towards the door and outside.
