A Show Of Faith

A Show Of Faith is the forty-first chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Kareshh, Boor, Ayalesh and the other soldiers intending on entering Reitan manage to gather their appropriate priest-like attire and wander the road in the darkness as they approach Reitan, trying to move unseen. After avoiding a group of riders by leaping off the road, they arrive at the city to find Maire and her riders arguing with the city guards who refuse the soldiers entry by night. Maire demands entry to look for Palus, suspecting the city of withholding the general, but she is turned away. Conversely, the 'priests' are permitted entry as they bluff their way through with promises of blessings and the revelations of knowledge they should not possess.

Upon arriving Kareshh convinces the group to look for Palus and they forsake their previous intents of going drinking and whoring for finding the general, and they wander to the prisons where Boor, through the use of chanting in tongues and intimidation, manages to find out that the general is on his way with an armed escort. The group decides to wait and struggle to formulate plans that will get them either out of the city, or indeed get the general out of Reitan's grasp in general. Even as Palus approaches with Eimer at his side, they have no solution other than to just bluff their way through.
