-Agreed, we will destroy those witches together.
She nodded and you began to walk, even if Ancel muttered something about sticking an arrow in her back. Being polite you introduced your men to her.
-Then be welcome amongst us Lady Mary Sue, here is Father François the confessor of my family, a pious man who baptised my youngest brothers. And this brave knight is Bohémond d'Autrelieu, my loyal retainer. And with us there is Ancel, he is not very gracious or polite but he is crafty and smells tracks well.
She seemed taken aback by the way that you talked of your peasant scout, but she insisted on saluting everyone. Well, it was strange. She tried to be enthusiastic when saying.
-Well, we have two warriors, three with me, a rogue, a cleric, it is a nice group. What can you cast, father François ? Do you have some ready spells ?
The priest looked at her, strangely.
-Spells ? Me ? What do you mean my daughter ?
-Spells, yes, do you have some magic ? Some healing spells maybe ?
-Me ? A magician ? How dare you ! Blasphemy ! THIS IS HERESY ! Begone creature of the demon !
She recoiled and you too, Father François could be dangerous, when insulted or drunk. He continued before she could continue, and you thought a bit, maybe she wanted him to be a priest who casted magic like those pagans, but who needed magic when he could have the spiritual help of the lord ?
-You tell us that priest of God are magicians ! But I saw through your blasphemies ! You are a woman who dress as a man and it means only one thing ! You are a witch ! Noblewoman or not, the eternal fires of hell await you !
She answered, furious.
-And who you are to dare insult me ! I hate all of you priests and paladins always trying to justify yourselves ! Yes, maybe you call it miracles and not magic but it is the same thing and...
Before she could continue she was slapped by Father François like Arius was slapped by Saint Nicholas, she even fell while the holy man continued.
-Silence ! If you know nothing you shall keep your mouth shut ! Repent now before it is too late !
She seemed to disbelieve that she was hit and she took time before raising, sword in hand and a murderous rage in her eyes. She had the time to say.
-You bastard, I will..
Before she was interrupted by Ancel, who pointed here and said.
-I see fires and people over there ! And I hear voices !
