<span class="mu-i"> "I have heard that monks of another order, the Almericians, have been attacked while travelling through the Rieswald. Has anything of that sort happened here?" </span> It is, of course, possible that this place was left out of their initial plans, but when a traveller requests to rest in an abbey, they're obligated to provide bed and board, regardless of their order.
<span class="mu-i"> "The Almericians, you say? None of our recent guests have been a member of that order, only some fellow Laurentines, a few laymen, and some monks of other orders.'' </span> The abbot kept silent while you passed another arch.
<span class="mu-i"> "I cannot exactly see what is going on within the Rieswald, but if an Almerician is involved, there is something very dire in the works," </span> the abbot spoke, his voice low and serious.
<span class="mu-i"> "How so?" </span> You asked.
<span class="mu-i"> "Most Almericians are like us, regular monastic orders, but they, together with a select few other orders, have been used as 'specialists' by the church in the past." </span> The abbot's expression darkened as he continued.
<span class="mu-i"> "I assume this doesn't cover violence or other such matters; that is the place of the various knightly orders." </span>
<span class="mu-i"> "It's more subtle than that, " </span> the abbot explained. <span class="mu-i"> "If such an Almerician stumbled upon something that might interest the church, they would start reporting about it back to their superiors. If they're attacked, it is because the attacker doesn't want that information to reach the church." </span>
>That doesn't make any sense; murdering them will just attract more attention.
>Uh-huh, and have there been any interesting guests?
