   * First, he presents an enchanted bronze broadsword that he has made and kept private. He has old Horali talents that he has put to use. The sword, when wielded by a Malkioni in Ralios, does maximal damage (8 pts) to Darkness-rune beings (includes Uz etc.). Maybe it’s good that Bog isn’t awake to see this award…   * First, he presents an enchanted bronze broadsword that he has made and kept private. He has old Horali talents that he has put to use.

   * Second, he says “About 2 weeks ago, just before sunset, just outside the monastery I heard, but could not see, a man with a strong lisp speaking to someone else in Tradetalk. He said, “Hide the boy in your secret place, and do it unseen. Try to return him back to his clan as soon as possible, but if the boy dies, it won’t be a great loss. If the old man gets in the way, use the bowls I gave you; just punch a hole in them and run!” Well Makris didn’t have a lisp, so this other person is…?   * Second, he says “About 2 weeks ago, just before sunset, just outside the monastery I heard, but could not see, a man with a strong lisp speaking to someone else in Tradetalk.

-|| GM exposition to players; things that PCs won’t learn but may be of interest; and if you wonder about other things I might answer them but some things are best left mysterious: There was a “bad thing” that St Paschal did with a woman (a priestess of Mallia!) long ago, and its curse has lingered at the Monastery. The Helldark manifested; the Nimils came; and events at the Monastery in recent years – especially once Makris arrived—worsened, because the power of the Temple of Mallia had been reawakened. The Nimils could move between certain darkness patches, had limited Darkwalk abilities, and nasty Chaos Features, and the ability to take on spirit forms (the Women in Red) -- which Bog faced in the Spirit World, you may find out (hopefully). Makris learned to use the darkness transportation, including via the chest in his office as a last resort, but learned too late that the latter usage turned the Nimils against him. And yes, the chest closed and locked once he used it. Nifty sorcery.] +GM exposition to players; things that PCs won’t learn but may be of interest; and if you wonder about other things I might answer them but some things are best left mysterious: There was a “bad thing” that St Paschal did with a woman (a priestess of Mallia!) long ago, and its curse has lingered at the Monastery.

-[You didn’t fall for it, but the thing about St. Paschal and the elves was a red herring, in terms of any cause of the curse on the Monastery. Note that the peasants dropped speculation of the Burning Malady maybe being an elf curse, when you first arrived here. You didn’t take that bait. Anyway, St. Paschal did have Arkati affiliations – he not only fought the elves, he won peace with them locally. Arkat did similarly; as Arkat Peacemaker, after the Gbaji Wars, across Ralios.]+You didn’t fall for it, but the thing about St. Paschal and the elves was a red herring, in terms of any cause of the curse on the Monastery.

-Rollo +  * Rollo 
-Wanderer +  Wanderer 
-Pehraln (you’ve heard that name before, and Kenwill sees it in the documents from Makris and soon says that, ahh, that is the name of the nice visitor from some weeks ago, who was like Fraud in that he was covered up a lot, swaddled in bandages and such. He did not have a lisp, no. Kenwill didn’t talk to him very much; those that did are dead) +  Pehraln (you’ve heard that name before, and Kenwill sees it in the documents from Makris and soon says that, ahh, that is the name of the nice visitor from some weeks ago, who was like Fraud in that he was covered up a lot, swaddled in bandages and such.

 And Makris seems to have been involved in some conspiracy, spreading Disorder (The Destroyer) and Chaos (he did mention the Deceiver, and he used Chaos from Mallia). The code that Fraud has, with the Arkati map and this spot noted with 2 others (Dolios, Elfchild) and The Wanderer superimposed, reinforces this. And Makris seems to have been involved in some conspiracy, spreading Disorder (The Destroyer) and Chaos (he did mention the Deceiver, and he used Chaos from Mallia).
