“The gods?” Kaspar said after a moment.
“Why, certainly.”

A cleric of one order can hardly speak to the deity of another order. But there is a way to confront the gods directly. We guard protect their privacy in a manner of speaking. Come along.”

Opening a pouch at his belt, he removed flint and steel, handed the torch to Kaspar, then struck sparks into it, until a flame caught. He replaced the flint and... steel into his pouch, took the torch from Kaspar and led him into a series of tunnels going directly into the heart of the mountain.MoreLess
