Editing Midnight RPG - Chapter 42.198 (section)

==== 5) Who the hell is Petrus? ====

5) You mentioned that Zal spent nearly the entire day before the Battle of First-Hold speaking with Petrus, who I'm only now realizing had never been seen before. What were they talking about?

:::  '''A''':  Petrus is the elder brother of Captain Wilhelm Fogg.  Petrus is the character that Adam role-played at the recent Council of Captains that elected Willis as the new High Captain.  If you remember Petrus (Adam playing him) aided Kyuad in cornering Tarmigan to come out looking like the fool.  It might not seem "that" odd that you'd never seen Wilhelm's brother prior...  Afterall there were 300+ people in Dern's Keep and it was before the battle, which was crazy.  The time that you DO recall seeing him prominent is when Zal and Kyuad presided over Wilhelm's wedding to his new wife Mary (the lady whom had apparently been a battlefield nurse that Wilhelm hadn't met, then asked to marry following the battle).  Petrus was Wilhelm's best man at their wedding.  He was noticably present following the battle, more because he was the right hand man to his brother Wilhelm - a bigger man, the elder brother to Wilhelm's 19 years...
:::  Within the cottage, the crystal has difficulty focusing in the magic haze... but the outcome seems to be that Zal'Kazzir first speaks with the witch-woman pirate Etri, who's somehow sneaked her way into Dern's Hold under everyone's noses.  (remember Etri is the succubus in notes above)  <br> Hours are filled with the most graphic and sadomasochistic hedonism, even hard for Durgaz's eyes.  What takes place isn't just sex, it seems to be ritualistic - though as to what ritual Durgaz would have no idea.  Blades are drawn, Zal'Kazzir primarily uses "Red Mercy" to slice open Etri's flesh so that blood pours into silver cups - blood that Zal'Kazzir and Etri ingests in all ways possible amid the pleasures...  Zal seems intuitively aware, while bloody marks and symbols formed across his and her faces and hands.  Bloody magical symbols that they smear off one another and onto parchments as they negotiate...  they only whipser words almost unheard in unknown tongues - but one thing is constant - he now calls Etri  "Vipheri"...  <br> Following the hours of carnal magic - Zal sits, still bleeding from cuts, speaking with Petrus about the coming battle and the election that will follow to elect a High Captain...  They talk about Petrus seeking out an appropriate woman, but for what they never really say...  '''ROLL:'''   Durgaz (Search +1)  ROLLED:  13+1 =   14 ''
