[IRP] Return to the Dread Isle

[Swift_Assassin]

"These are only the ones on the outskirts, by the water. The ones further inland might have better equipment and potentially better protection from the elements. We also don't know their numbers and they could swarm like bees. And, may I remind you. Wratt isn't part of the church. They probably view him as disposable as whatever mercenaries he would have gathered for this endeavor," He chimed in. "As for that second part, if I implied something contrary to that, I must of misspoke. I never meant to imply a scenario where the Church lets us leave this island alive." He glanced at Dyrnwyn momentarily before continuing. "All I know is they want something from this island. I don't think Wolfram came seeking the same goal. I'd recommend against taking anything back with us. Ostia already has people chasing me for my sword, the last thing any of us probably wants is seekers trying to kill you for whatever artifact they could be seeking."

Thinking the discussion was done, he let down his guard until Raye chimed in. 'That scary guy!' Must resist urge to acknowledge. If he plays it off as if he didn't hear it, hopefully they others could ignore it too. Damn it, Raye! An idea came to him, and he decided to blurt it out before someone can digest what she said. "Oh, Raye. I'm sorry for Wolfram. He's a bit creepy at times and spent most of his life as a loner, even if he called my uncle a friend. He doesn't really know how to interact with people, so I'm apologizing for him staring at you like he was. Please, accept my apology on his behalf."
