Tyria sits back and listens to the exchange of words and ideas regarding the members of the Scarlet Monastery. Folding her hands under her chin, she ponders the words of Drakmar... the leader of her House of Virtue. Only after carefully considering her words does she stand and speak.
"Brothers and sisters, this matter is of grave concern to me. I have been to the Scarlet Monastery once before, a couple of weeks ago. I entered in without conflict, as there was no-one near the entrance or in the great room at the top of the stairs that leads into the Monastery. I thought it odd that there was no-one around. However, I decided upon taking a door to the left side of the great room. Immediately after entering the hall through the door, I was attacked. No word of warning, no questioning of my motives.... I was simply attacked.
After defeating my assailant, I crept carefully down the hall and peered around the corner. My shock with what I saw in the next room was great. There were members of the Scarlet Monastery standing around human torture devices. Upon these devices of torture did not lie the Undead, but human beings!! Blood stained the floors of that room. Upon seeing the grizzly sight, I gasped. Of course, the men in the room heard me and all ran at me with weapons raised. I fled the Monastery, as I was hopelessly outnumbered.
When I was finally able to elude the monks in the surrounding woods, I stopped to catch my breath. That was my one and only experience with the Scarlet Monastery. Explain their actions to me, Drakmar. I am willing to listen with an open mind what you have to say. Yet, know this... I will not support torture. Ever. The Light should be used to cultivate, to nourish and to help others. Never to torture. Please, my Liege, explain to me your stance on this matter. In the meantime, I shall also accompany Gudran on his quest... to give the members of the Monastery one more chance."
