Berra had accompanied the others to Wilmskirk, and after tracking down Venlar, they were all invited to guest as his father’s house. However, it was very crowded and she had just been slighted by the God-talker of the Humakti Shrine there. She set off to sleep at the Shrine as was her right, but never got there, as she ran into a group of Colymar who recognised and called her and Varanis some very bad things. She let one of them attack her, and then killed him, and walked back to the Cinder Fox house to be healed and see that everyone knew there was danger there.

Dormal, Mellia and Varanis went with her to the Temple of Orlanth, where Berra was able to tell Varanis what the precedent was, and Varanis gave an able speech. The Humakti God-talker confirmed to the Storm Voice that Varanis was telling the truth, and that the other Colymar were not, and Storm Voice Falnin ruled heavily in favour of Berra.

There was a short discussion on how to safely get out of the house the next day, with Berra not wanting to hide or use deception, and their host having to over-rule her wish to protect him.

“Why weren’t you wearing your helmet?” – Varanis
“I was wearing my helmet! I left it there so nobody could say I put the gash into the bronze later. But I got the feather!” – Berra

“Can I inspire myself with Truth?” – Varanis
“Do you believe Berra?” – GM
“Yes!” – Varanis

“But it might be an organised thing by tomorrow. If there is a large enough force to give us trouble, then they may not stop to ask questions like ‘who’. We don’t know enough, and if someone gets attacked because we’re pretending to be them, then it’s on us.” – Berra
“Of course it’s not on you. You’re my guests.” – Jengharl
“Berra blinks, and then bows deeply and says, ‘I apologise.'” – GM

“The helmet saved her. 1HP left on the head – and then a strike rank 12 aimed shot to the neck.” – GM/Berra
