He doesn't look up from his ledger.
Father Jonas. Twin Rocks. Church of the New Beginning.
A pause.
And a word of advice - avoid mentioning you work for the Institute. The Church has... opinions about scientific inquiry.
endHe examines the journal one more time, then sets it carefully on his desk.
Here's the situation. Some time ago, Father Jonas in Twin Rocks did me a considerable favor.
His tone becomes more businesslike.
I don't like being in debt. Complicates relationships. So you're going to settle that debt for me.
Travel to Twin Rocks, meet with Father Jonas at the Church of the New Beginning. Tell him Magnus sent you to repay the favor. He'll have work for you - likely a few tasks.
He leans back in his chair.
Complete whatever he asks, and we're square. Then you get your translation.
His expression is unreadable.
Some prices are paid long after the purchase. Today, you're settling an old account.
A pause.
The Church runs Twin Rocks. Water purification, governance, law. Treat Father Jonas with appropriate respect. He's not a man to cross.
quest: accepted
Smart choice. Good luck.
endquest: declined
His expression cools.
Your choice. But without the favor, there's no translation. Think it over.
end~ start Father Jonas
A tall man in his early fifties stands before the altar, his imposing frame wrapped in deep blue-gray Church robes adorned with water droplet symbols. Graying dark hair is cut severely short, and a simple black patch covers his missing right eye. Despite the religious setting, his bearing is unmistakably military.
He turns as you approach, his single eye assessing you with measured attention.
Welcome to Twin Rocks. State your purpose here.
You carry Magnus's obligation. Good. He maintains his word when others would not.
He gestures with controlled precision.
I am Father Jonas, High Inquisitor of the Church of the New Beginning. Magnus's favor was considerable in scope. Your labor will settle the account between us.
completes the questAre you prepared to begin the work?
Return when you are ready to fulfill this obligation. But do not delay unnecessarily - debts grow heavier with time.
endHe's arranging candles before the altar with precise, measured movements. Each placement deliberate and ritualistic.
He senses your presence and turns, his single eye studying you with calm assessment.
Welcome, traveler. You stand in the house of God's mercy and judgment both.
He raises one hand in formal blessing.
May His waters cleanse your path and His light guide you through the wasteland's persistent darkness.
He returns to his work, the gesture clearly dismissing you.
Go in peace.
