"May we take the weapon?" Farron asks the Magistrate. "I'd like some of our colleagues at the college to have a look at it, if possible." If allowed, he will wrap it in a cloth (his cloak if necessary) being careful not to touch it directly. It's a long shot, he thinks, that they might find anything else out about it that the acolyte hasn't already told them, so he won't protest if the Magistrate denies the request.

"Lead on" he says to Wilk. "Let's get this over while it's still daylight," He adds quietly, more to himself that to anyone else, though he's not at all sure anymore that daylight will make any difference to the Dark God or his minions.

"We have to be careful," he says quietly to Sa'id as they make their way through the city streets. "I really don't want to end up like Cadfael." After a moment he continues, "Is this 'drinker of souls' so powerful that even Pelor's aid is insufficient? Or did Cadfael get tossed aside because he was no longer useful?" He shakes his head in anger and dismay. Either way, there was no security in the gods. What happens, happens. You could call it the will of Pelor, or Tempus, or Kor Garesh all you wanted if that made you feel better. What it all meant to Farron, though, was that he only had himself and his friends to rely on.

"It's good to see you back to yourself again," He says, making conversation as they follow Wilk. Though he isn't really sure Sa'id is back to himself, he at least seems outwardly more engaged in the moment that he has in the recent past. We should see what we can find out at the college as soon as we are done with Wilk. We could also check with someone at Pelor's temple here, but I'm not sure we can trust anyone there. What do you think?"

[Farron will assist Sa'id at the site where the body was discovered, looking for anything he might find that Sa'id doesn't see first. He also wants to go the the college and talk with whoever there he trusts most.

OOC: I meant to send that earlier message to everyone. Oops.

"I think Pelor's attention is focused elsewhere, on Promise and Overlook. I had hoped that death was a gift, that Cadfael would have peace, but obviously not." Sa'id takes a deep breath, and forces a smile. "It is good to BE myself again. It is good to BE, really. I only hope that I can repay the debt I owe Cadfael and his god."

In reply to Farron's last statement, Sa'id says: "Yes, we should head for the wizards' school, and the temple as well, today. Also, do you have a detect magic dweomer handy?"
