[pnpgm] Conversing with a Spirit?

[Chris and Karen Wells]

>>>>>>
Varo: "You will prove yourself to your people one day.
           Your project you have in mind will work.  In fact
           when one day a red-haired woman comes to you bringing
           a dark black one..buy it..it will serve you well."

Ben'Dar is stunned first by her beauty and second by the words of Varo to him.  How can she know of these things?!?  He is utterly speechless and merely stares incredulously at Varo, then he nods and bows deeply.

He wonders what manner of person/creature Varo is and begins to suspect that she may be some form of Animal or Nature Spirit, perhaps even one of the Great Spirits that Ben'Dar worships.

After the unveiling of the wondrous eagle for Z'leyra, Ben'Dar's thoughts of Varo's divine nature deepen into faith/belief.  Hesitatingly, he asks, "Great Lady Varo?  Forgive me for asking....  Are you a.... a Spirit?" (meaning an Animal Spirit or a Spirit of Nature - wind, sky, etc)

Unless she denies his (superstitious) belief in no uncertain terms, Ben'Dar will regard her as a deity and will go down on his knees to worship her.  If she does deny it, he will still regard her as a messenger from one of the Great Spirits and treat her with deepest reverence.

Regarding the jar creatures, Ben'Dar says, "There is wisdom and honor in the words of Great Lady Varo.  We should deliver the jar-creatures to her."

Regarding Varange and his rowdy band of faerries...if nothing dissuades Ben'Dar to believe Varo is some sort of Nature Spirit, he will be more than willing (nay, eager) to fight to ensure that the faerries don't take the jars against her wishes.  :-)
