Roleplaying
#182

There is an elf girl fishing on the pier

#183

walks up to her a little late to be fishing don’t you think

#184

I’m not trying to catch fish

#185

then what are you trying to catch?

#186

(Thinks to myself its me right)

#187

she pulls up a leather pouch from the water

Sometimes the families of the sacrifices leave valuables in the sea out of respect

#188

have you lost anyone to the seas?

#189

Not personally

She lowers the line back into the water

#190

how long have you been in Merathia for?

#191

All my life

#192

sits with her I have been only for a few weeks

#193

she pulls up an old robe, reminiscent of the priest’s robe, she puts it in a bucket marked “junk” the casts her line back in

You were with those guys at the sacrifice today, weren’t you?

#194

yes I was. I understand people have there ways. can you tell me more about Temper?

#195

Well, I know that he lives in the sea, and that he used to eat cows and sheep but now apparently eats people, and I’m supposed to believe he keeps us safe

And, to be fair, if he does do that, he’s doing a good job

#196

when did Temper arrive?

#197

probably about 15 years ago

#198

did you see what he looked like?

#199

no, he’s never shown his face, it’s just that criminals who escaped by sea, and stuff like that, starting washing up dead on the beach

the priest saw it as a sign that the gods were protecting us, and then called it “Temper”, because it seemed like it was angry at all the wrongdoings

#200

what do you think about Temper?

#201

I think he’s probably misunderstood

Like a big predatory fish or something

Rather than a saviour

She fishes up a dagger like the one the priest dropped, it’s rusted, she puts it in the junk bucket
