Inner rank message

Dear Elders of the Fraternity,

You have read “S” ’missive about her previous academician and field works. I join my voice to others recommending her as a member of the Fraternity, even if it breaks our tenets.

For her safety, her identity shall be protected for the moment. Imagine what predicaments would we get if he was to guess S is considered to become a member of the Fraternity of Shadows!

What?

We get the failure back just because her monster-daddy gifted her some bracers and made sure she didn't perish (for long at least) by werewolves?

PS. Good idea but what does this mean for us? Why is that secret special? :)

By Hextor! Has the Fraternity changed its guidelines or was "S" a guy all the time?! - Wearing skirts... What a clever camouflage...

That's not really a secret! You know who S is, no?

Heh. Can you picture the "little scholar's" reaction, if Lady Karla tried to hold her to the same humiliating 'entrance requirement' which your PC Gertrude conceded to, Llana? Catfight! :lol:

FWIW, it wasn't the Countess' idea...frankly, I think S would have met that requirement at the drop of a hat. Maternal instinct does not seem to be one of her more prominent qualities.

True, she's hardly the "Mommy" type. It's the disrespectful presumption of their making such a demand that would offend her, IMO: if she's got the gall to smart-mouth Azalin in his own commissioned reports, she's hardy going to reign in her outrage, for a bunch of self-important, illusion-obsessed misogynists! :wink:

She put on a bracer sent by Azalin without any hesitation. I think her bark is worse than her bite.

And hey, she'd probably think that it was probably only fair, since the guys obviously lack balls in getting the group's sole highly-placed woman to make their prerequisite... :P

May we assume this decision is related to the rumors concerning the fraternity's presence in Paridon?
