“My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions
Challenges for the time being complete, Mery listens with a great deal of interest as Modri begins sharing his story, but chooses not to interrupt the exchange. 'Maybe I can talk with him about some of that later.'
However, it's the look of near hero-worship on Ser Artanis' face at the appearance of the three ghostly figures followed by his near frown at the very little bit of information she shared about Lord Soth that she feels a need to respond to. While she's not entirely sure what the young knight is thinking, she's worried she can guess. "Ser Artanis, I'm not sure what you're thinking, but I think you should be aware that Lord Soth is an infamous figure, not only within the Knights of Solamnia, but within Solamnian and Krynnish history as well. It is commonly accepted that the Cataclysm happened as a direct result of Kingpriest Beldinas of Istar's lust to ascend to godhood and crush out anyone who disagreed with his viewpoints, but Lord Soth was kicked out of the Knighthood due to acting unjustly toward his first wife before he was given the mission to stop the Cataclysm. He only got that mission because his second wife prayed to the gods that he be given the opportunity to redeem himself and Mishakal responded by giving him the mission." There's so much more Mery wants to say, but determinedly, she bites her tongue. There are things she needs to figure out for herself first.

Bardic Inspiration (3 per long rest, for 1d6)
As a bonus action, a creature (other than yourself) within 60 ft. that can hear you gains an inspiration die (1d6). For 10 minutes, the creature can add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. This can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.
