Rune Lord's can read ?

G'day all,

Assuming your keen Sartartie rebels/adventurers can read, especially New Pelorian seems a big ask. After all the main place to learn it is the Lunar temple (cheaply that is). Otherwise your hard earned adventuring loot tends to go on fighting skills and armour.

An old Pavid/Borderlands campaign had an amusing incident when the rest of the PCs found my Etyries merchant's diaries in New Pelorian stashed in a Thanatari temple (Gim Gim had left them there). [I figure the Lunars use the Etyries merchants much the same way the Aztecs used their merchants, as harmless spys. Write down notes of everything you see, but don't endanger yourself or your trade by active espionage]

They were all nearing Rune Lord staus in non-Orlanth cults, and as such were not rabid anti-lunars but the Humakti failed his 17% read New Pelorian and the rest just did not have the skill. So all they could find was the occasional reference to their names in the papers. I was off merchanting somewhere else (couldn't make the gaming session) and they never got round to asking my opinion. They certianly never thought to accuse me of anything.

Imagine if he had fumbled ?

cheers, Andrew
