I am more concerned than ever about your well-being! It is a full month since last I heard from you, and that was the first time in 5 months! You even failed to send a letter upon the Festival of Apis, which you have not missed since we first met!
I am not surprised by Oathbringer’s reaction, rather, I am surprised by your own! I realize that the taking of Nara has greatly affected you, but I did not know anything could shake you to the core this badly! This is one of the holiest weapons of all! Held for centuries by the priestess Perfone! Yet your statue here shows you wielding the Three Sisters! Oathbringer is nowhere to be seen!
Yes, the statues here at the Obelisk reflect the weapons that you hold! They also show the permanent armor, so please tell Overkill that his new plate armor is impressive! Please tell me about it!
The Obelisk has become all that I had hoped! It is welcoming droves of new converts to the Light! I tell stories of CrIsis regularly, and talk about your goodness often! I hope that I am not misspeaking….
Have faith, my friend! Do not turn your back on the gifts given to you! Despair not! I hope to hear from you soon! Make sure you send me a pigeon during the Festival of Osiris!!
Fair thee well, wherever you may fare! May Isis’ Torch Light Your Way!

Oathbringer is a dick, just saying
You may have changed your mind on that last session, but that also may have been to the kinder, more thoughtful Xerx’ses of last session….
I gotta be honest — any rune weapon who strikes its owner or purposefully sabotages the owner in the throes of combat should be held at arm’s length and treated with extreme prejudice.
While I do agree with the sentiment and reactions to a certain extent, you also have to remember that the Rune Items have souls inside them. They are intelligent beings, and should be treated as such. I am surprised that more Rune Weapons don’t rebel, the way they’re treated. Indaris was treating his sentient, bad @$$ weapon worse than his groupillion mace, which has never spoken to him, nor has it changed shape, or anything like that, and more importantly – It doesn’t have an intelligent being inside of it. Do you think that Tyvernos, were he in the Fulmination, wouldn’t get back at a careless wielder? Thank heavens that we have Oathbringer and not the rune item made from one of the more strong-willed PCs we’ve had!
