Erm, you sputter as you stir from halfway to slumbertown, you were gonna ask him if he had anything lying around that can detect devils or, like, demonic energy! Your request is answered by a swipe at your head from the old man’s cane!
“Did you hear a word I said!? Don’t go playing around with devils!”
You heard, you <span class="mu-s">HEARD</span>, you shout just as Volka comes in with more tea and nearly sends it all tumbling to the floor in shock, you just want to see if you read as a devil, that’s all!
“Hmm… yep, you wouldn’t want to run into the Temple Guard…” Mutters Volgir as he takes his cup from Volka, “They’re not exactly known for being tolerant, not that we’ve had many good experiences with devils coming to visit Zoral…”
Rising to his feet, the Durher chugs his tea like a frat boy and scurries off into the shadows like a spider!
“Hey Ant, listen to this:”
Tzah-Tzie gets about two notes in before Volgir returns with something jingling in his paws! Before you can ask what, the mage shoves the device in your face and stares at you as it sings a solitary note that slowly makes your skin itch! OW!
“Hmmm… yep, that’s a reaction alright…” He remarks as he shoves the device into an unseen pocket. What was <span class="mu-i">THAT</span>!?
“An old artifact I won in a game of Joppla against a Temple Guard a few years back.” Replies the sorcerer with a shrug. “Was just gathering dust until ya’ reminded me of it. Anyways, that little gizmo has a remnant of Mitaar’s love in it–devils don’t really like that divine crap, so it makes them itch a bit.” He pauses. “... and burn if it’s pointed at ‘em long enough.”
So wait, you stammer, you’re… you’re a <span class="mu-r">DEVIL!?</span>
“No, idiot, you’ve probably just got some demonic energy from that embarrassment of a ritual!” Corrects Volgir with a dismissive scowl! “Don’t be dramatic!”
