The Knights take off for Katoomba, Australia, to investigate a tale of a temple to the goddess of magic Mystra that was erected very suddenly and mysteriously, seemingly unknown to other Mystran clergy in the world.  A bizarre tale of a cleric being chased out with gunfire, and a missing bookseller with a connection to the church have left Wynn worried about what might be going on within the walls of the temple.  It is constructed a short distance from the actual city proper, up the river.

I can't be too cautious. [You people are STRANGE.]

[moonheart]

That sounds like a boring way to live. [ and she'll reach over to untangle those headphones yo ]

[twinfucker]

In some matters, boring is preferable. [But he raises a hand and lets her futz with them.] I don't understand why they have to make these... ear implements so easily tangled.

[moonheart]

It's not like they're doing it on purpose, dude.

[twinfucker]

Dude. [He says it like he's trying something new and unpleasant.] How... colloquial.

[moonheart]

It probably flies a lot better in most circles than throwing 'colloquial' around all the time.

[twinfucker]

I’ve never had much use for most circles around here. [Jaime, this is why you don’t have friends.]

[moonheart]

Why not?

[twinfucker]

There's something of a lack of common ground. Surely you must have noticed.

[moonheart]

You can find common ground with anyone. People aren't really all that different.

[twinfucker]

Is that so? Everything about this world is different from where I come from. I hardly see why the people would be the same.

[moonheart]

Just because they don't have old timey accents and fight with broadswords doesn't mean they don't care about the same things. Friends, family, love, honor, all that stuff.

[twinfucker]

I don't care about that stuff. [Bluff 20.]

[moonheart]

[ sense motive 20 so HA ] Oh come on, everyone does. What else are you fighting for?

[twinfucker]

[His scowl deepens.]

I fight because it’s what I’ve always done. What else is there for me?

[moonheart]

Whatever you want there to be. No one's holding a gun to your head to make you play hero.

[lionbrave]

I've never claimed to be a hero.

[moonheart]

I'm pretty sure joining Hero Incorporated claimed it for you.

[lionbrave]

It pays well. I don't care if it happens to help people along the way.

[Bluff check 11. Probably because Jaime's not even entirely sure he is bluffing. It's complicated.]

[moonheart]

Doesn't that seem kind of empty?

[lionbrave]

What does it matter to you? It's my life.

[moonheart]

Sure, but it doesn't seem like you're actually living one. I just want to help.

[lionbrave]

I didn’t ask for help, did I? I don’t need it.

[moonheart]

Ok, ok! Suit yourself. Just sayin'.
