Ophelia gives Thuribula a nod open minded to the roads of faith and possibilities. Arthur however seems resolute in his desire to find a cure no matter what.
Ophelia listens to Thuribula's questions to destroying Delrium and saving Drakkenheim.
"Theodore does have more plans, to burn Drakkenheim down and destroy the source.. Once we find it but for now we want to minimize the corruption of these crystals. We can tell you more of course, once you join the order. You are correct there is no way to section off Drakkenheim itself so we must destroy corruption itself to save their souls and their bodies. It is all that we can do to help them to save them. I hope you can in fact help your friends see that."
Ophelia and Arthur give Thuribula a nod.
"There is nothing immoral with destroying Delirum you'll be protecting others young one. Hmm Fenton huh? A beautiful Aasimar.. we will be more than glad to aid him in his search for truth."
"You'll do well I know it! And we'd love to help you!"
Ophelia recites in prayer but Arthur seems to hum remaining silent. Thuribula can feel a warmth of her holy symbol... A flame ignite within a hearth an... Awakening. She can't hear a voice or see a figure but she can feel that to dig deep into her well is a flame to call upon. A fountain of something.. A fountain of.. Miracles. Is this.. magic? Through prayer? Through hardship? Through accepting a test? What.. where did it come from? Fenton can feel his own wings rattle and almost pointing him towards Thuribula. She can feel this.. this pull towards Fenton.
It was in this moment Thuribula could feel Fenton's humble soul, tired of being called a beautiful creature an angel the desire to be... Normal. Fenton in turn can feel Thuribula's powerful devotion to stop the call of heresy from hurting others and her desire to protect people.
"I've got my supplies, but if you can sell them to me for cheap I'd be willing to buy haha! Till next time hooded one!"
Aldor gives a gruff laugh to Sinak and a nod.
"I've been, it's dangerous for sure! Even the Etherial plane has haze in it.. And monsters so things like rope trick don't help much so I don't sell things like that. I like to believe.. I am a useful merchant of war. I do have potions of healing! 100 gold a piece but I'll sell the first for 50 gold! I like to see new travelers here! As for items I've a cloak of protection for 750 gold but it'll keep you safe! You can also request an order as I make my shipments but that cost extra. I've a few odd items here and there. I've a sharp magical dagger.. I'd normally sell for 800 gold but.. Due to some lucky sells lately I'd part with for 300 gold instead."
"I'll think about it." Fazil nods, then look at Sinak. Waiting on him now.
"As of now I have seen the dark side of Delirium. However it must be here for a reason, maybe its to trust our faith and resolve, maybe its to being in a new age. After all there are plenty of people who believe the Delirium can be used to better our selves or this world, even those of the faith. I am not saying I believe that is the truth, however it is hard for me to believe that the flame world allow such a plague on this land to exist without a higher purpose."
Maggwyn grins at Orson and does a little flick of the hair ha, why not? if it helps with the fee... she thinks. "Well, I was wondering what you knew of the Amenthyst Academy? I have heard they have moved on from this town and wanted to know if the trail was dry and if you knew anything else?"
Sinak shakes his head and says “Too rich for me, I don’t have that kind of money right now. Come, Fazil, let’s find the others.” With that, Sinak starts to walk away, thinking about what else might be useful in the next steps of their journey.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Orson chuckles as she flicks her hair, his eyes raise a moment but he tries to keep a strong rakish grin.
"Well.. I actually do have a very juicy lead on that.. For 20 gold. If it leads you no where I'll refund ya 10 gold back but I've a good feeling on it!"
Hanna listens to Fenton curiously but Dante... Looks worried by Fentons words.
"Delirium a higher purpose that is... A way to lose one's soul and body to it's poison please be careful good sir."
(OOC Yeah, Fazil would look for the tavern with Sinak while regrouping with the others, whichever is first. Find a tavern first, then look for the others; if not, find a tavern after regrouping.)
Maggwyn looks at Orson, considering, then she counters, "How about 15 gold for the information and if I fail to use it well, it is on me and you owe me nothing?"
Fazil is able to find a few places to rest eat. One was the Bark and Buzzard which Eren had told the owner Karin Alberg that she could trust them with the cottage rooms. Fazil would recall that despite Eren paying him he did not in good faith tell Karin she could trust the hooded mageborn with a cottage room so.. Not a likely place he can stay the night unless he can be rather convincing.
He see's another place.. Called the Red Lion Hotel it looks large and immaculate a multi story place and they seem to be allowing all sorts of strange patrons but it looks rather expensive.
There appears to be a dangerous looking Saloon known as the Skull and Sword Taphouse and a fanciful winery known as "The Gilded Lily" and they seem to have an open stage for any outside performers.
Meanwhile with Maggwyn Orson looks to her trying to keep a strong poker face. He doesn't seem as.. Hard as Armin Gainsbury but still rather tough. He seems to be trying to keep a straight face with Maggwyn.
"Ehh, maybe if I were younger I'd pinch a few coins for a pretty thing like ya but well.. My men get a bit pissy when I sell their info cheap.."
Fazil does not know for sure if the Gilded Lily has rooms or is just a place to drink or eat.
Same for the Taphouse.
The Red Lion Hotel he can presume by it's title of "Hotel" And Bark and Buzzard only because of what Eren had said. He'd have to enter and ask around a bit.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Maggwyn is realizing at this point that charisma is sooo not her strong suit, "15 gold is not cheap!" but she tries to smile at his pretty thing comment, man, this is harder than I thought

Fazil tried his luck in checking the Gilded Lily to see if there were any rooms or just a place for temporary rest for a meal and drinks. As well as checking out the Skull and Sword Taphouse.
Thuribula, having finished her spoken prayer, gets up to approach the altar and hold one of her candles to the brazier, and, as the wick catches, she bows profoundly, and returns with the lit candle to kneel with the others. She continues to pray silently. O Divine Light. Show me the true path. It seems as though the Silver Order has a handle on the right thing to be done, and I will certainly need their help... but I must stay true to your ways and your teachings, however it may seem to slow me down in the moment. I rest all at your feet and wait for your guidance.
And then she feels it. The strange welling of magical Divine power and Light within her. And she knows without a doubt what it is, which seems to a moment odd to her, since she would never have guessed what it would feel like. Then, even more am I yours, an instrument in the hands of your Sacred Flame. Leave me not without your guidance!Her awareness of the Aasimar growing suddenly, his fitful place in the Divine plan. Perhaps he will be the messenger that the people need, that they will hear. He who seeks the truth and not power or riches, perhaps he will be the one, once he finds it, to bring that truth to the people. I must bring him to the heart of it...
Resolutely, Thuribula stands up, and approaches Fenton where he sits. She hands him the lit candle. "There is always a higher purpose, Fenton. Sometimes we cannot decipher it. Sometimes the worst of struggles and the most distracting lures of easy power and money come to us to test us, to see if the truth is really what we love more than passing gains that may be snatched away with the next breeze. And sometimes the world is really in danger, and the Divine Light calls on us within our souls to step beyond the rhythms of ordinary life to truly heroic sacrifices. I think that the Sacred Flame has a plan for you. No one can give you faith, or conviction about the truth. But we can walk with you and help to guide your steps in your search."
Sinak walks along with Fazil, smiling as he walks. “Are you gonna sing and bedazzle them, Fazil? What do you have in mind? Let’s find a place to stay, I’m feeling a little hungry, how about you?”

"I was thinking about using Prestidigitation to play background music as it wouldn't take much effort on my part to do so. Hoping this will cover the rent fee during our stay here. Also, yes, I'm getting a bit hungry. So finding a place to stay with food provided would be ideal."
The man had stared at Maggwyn for a long moment before letting out a slight sigh and a half smile on the gruff sea farer.
"Aye, all right right. I'll have to let my first mate do business with the pretty girls or I'll go bankrupt har har! 15 Gold ya got a deal!"
He gestures for her to come a little closer as he whispers to her his lead.
If Fazil's goal was to investigate around the houses and look.. He can't really tell. The easiest thought would be to enter the establishment and ask someone who may work in either or but outside looking in he couldn't get an easy read.
Thuribula could feel the light fade, but the magic.. had remained.
OOC I shall send Maggwyn this info via PM as she gathered the intel separately if she wishes to share it she can >3
Do Fazil and Sinak head into the Gilded Lily than? (inside I mean)
"You want to go inside to check the place out?" Fazil asks Sinak. "If not, I can go inside to check it out for a few minutes before coming out to let you know about the place."
(OOC: Fazil will go inside to scout the place out. Just depends on Sinak tagging along or not.)
This lavish two-storey building is surrounded by a veranda decorated with a swirling lily motif and painted purple. It has ornate golden glowing lanterns hanging between the veranda arches and within its curtained windows.
Once Fazil is inside he can see.. four large golden lamps light a small stage set before rows of candlelit tables. Floral arrangements line the walls. The well-stocked bar displays wines and spirits from across the world. Fine glasses are clinking and many folk are in fine clothing, however many still hold elegant weapons by their side. One table has a rough looking bunch of adventurers laughing and talking with each other. Fazil can't see any food at all, he does catch many glances however. One man walks up to him in a black suit with a pamphlet under his arm. He takes a light bow, he is a bit older but sophisticated to say the least.
"I am Walter, I will be you're waiter this fine evening. May I interest you in some.. Champagne? Or perhaps you've come to perform on lady Rochelle's immaculate stage? Many adventurers do like to give it a whirl of sorts."
Sinak heads in as well, “Sure. Let’s go.” He takes a look around, feeling very out of place, but when Walter asks about drinks and a performance, Sinak looks over to Fazil, eyes raised. “Thank you Walter, I’d just like to start with a glass of water, please. My friend here may wish to perform on your stage, I do not - “
