"To be called Teregus."

"To be caring for the altars of Control, Passion, and Diligence. To be a position of great responsibility. To be especially important in these times of trouble."

"To have been many disagreements in town lately. To be much tension between the followers of the principles of the altars and the followers of The Fellowship. To have heard rumors of threats to the altars."

"To be glad that Quan is now running our branch. To believe that he is misguided, but to be a much more reasonable gargoyle to deal with now that Runeb is gone."

"To be wary of Fellowship ideals. To be ignoring the altars in their search for unity, and to be losing respect for the old ways. To be not bad. To tell you our branch is run by Quan and Runeb."

"To be sorry that we have lost Runeb. Perhaps to be for the best. To be certainly overjoyed to have avoided damage to the altars."

"To have heard that someone in town is planning to destroy the physical representations of the altars. To be not the same, of course, as actually destroying the basic principles of Control, Passion, and Diligence, but to be bad for us nonetheless. To be finding out for us who is planning this, if there is time, perhaps. To return to me with evidence when you determine course of action. To be very grateful for your assistance."

"To have brought me something, some evidence about the rumors?"

"To be wonderful! To see it, please."

You hand him the note from Runeb that you found in Sarpling's shop.

"Ah. Runeb. To have suspected as much. To be always reaching for more by the most violent means."

He sighs.

"To ask that you confront him with this evidence. To suggest that anything less will not reveal truth. To be prepared for anything, please, human, for to know not how he will react."

He shakes his head.

"To be not hopeful for a peaceful solution. To thank you for your assistance."

"To have found nothing yet? Ah, well. To return, please, when anything unusual is found. To suggest that you confront the suspect as soon as you have a clue. To wish to stop him before any damage is done to the altars."

"To be sad to have lost Quan to The Fellowship, human. To have been a good gargoyle when young, but to have fallen into bad company later. To have concentrated mostly on self-aggrandizement and hedonism in the last few years. To be a shame."

"To have been a sad case. To have wished to have been able to save him. To always have been uncontrollable, but to have gotten worse in the last few years. To have seemed to want to start as many fights as possible. To have found a reason for using his strength against all those weaker when to have joined The Fellowship."

He smiles sadly, but with obvious pride.

"To have been a fine young gargoyle. The pride of us all. To wish to know who was responsible for his dishonorable end."

"To miss him greatly. To have raised him from an egg. To have been rather vocal in his disagreements with The Fellowship. To have felt it safer for him to leave."

He sighs, then looks up hopefully.

"To have news of him?"

"To be too late? To mean what by too late? To tell me what has happened!"

He seems very distraught.

"To be murdered?"

He takes a step back, stunned by the news.

"To be murdered? To be unbelievable. To have no real enemies!"

He sighs heavily.

"To tell me, please, exactly what happened."

You relate to him the particulars of Inamo's death. He sighs again.

"To be such a waste of gargoyle life. To be grateful if you would send news if you discover who was responsible for wanting him dead."

He is quiet for a few moments, getting accustomed to the situation.

"To apologize. To need some time to grieve. Please to come back later."

He turns away.

"To be caretaker and group leader for the altars of the three principles. To wish to make a donation?"

"To be an excellent choice. To meditate at the shrine for you for a donation of 5 gold. To be willing to donate 5 gold?"

"To tell you goodbye for now, human. To return and be welcome." END
