[Exits: north]
A small cake of unleavened bread lies here.
Niheriva is here.

You sweep your cloak behind you and bow
deeply.


Niheriva smiles at you.

'Salutations Captain Niheriva.

Niheriva says 'How goes your recommendation gathering, learning, and all that?'
You say 'Salutations Captain Niheriva.'

Niheriva looks at you.

You say 'The learning goes well. I can't
speak for the recommendations. I haven't had anything given to me in writing.'

Niheriva pauses, a thoughtful look on his face.

You say 'As for all that....'

Eliphas points to several horrific
scars.

Niheriva chuckles politely.

Niheriva says 'Interesting.'

You say 'I haven't seen you in many year
Captain. I began to fear for your safe return.'


Niheriva says 'I've been about.'

Niheriva says 'So you don't like to talk about yourself much?'

Eliphas reflects upon that.

You say 'I have no problems talking
about myself at all Sir.'

You say 'Noone has really asked.'

Niheriva holds up one finger.

Eliphas adds as an after thought..

Niheriva says 'Digging a little deeper.'

You say 'Sir.'

You nod.


Niheriva says 'So what is your greatest strength you will be bringing to the
Fortress?'

Eliphas snaps back to attention, having
been looking over the ruins.

You say 'I couldn't say Sir. I don't
believe it's proper for one to make such observations of themselves. If you will
have me, I will becomming in with a just heart. All other judgments belong to
you and my perers.'

You say 'Peers rather.'

Niheriva nods.

Niheriva says 'When you are able to look within yourself and confidently tell me
your strengths and weaknesses, we will speak.'

You say 'Even the purity of my heart is
subject to judgment by our makers in the end.'

You bow deeply.

Niheriva nods.

You say 'I regret I was unable to
explain adequatly my beliefs. I do believe I would have been an asset Sir.'

Before a Misty Jungle Ruin

[Exits: north south]


A beautiful spiral-shaped maroon shell seems to slowly creep around by itself.


A few small pebbles roll down the mountainside, bouncing as they go.

Eliphas looks up to see where they came

Eliphas follows the pebbles down the
hill.
