A poor elf farmer, Hazi, was heard by Rabbi Jesoshi to be speaking blasphemy. Jacob believes different, however. Jacob's kindness has now driven him to seek out evidence in favor of Hazi's innocence. He has come to Endelen's Tavern to find some somthing to assist him.

Jacob took a sip of water, his brother vince had just left, what help he was. He had found nothing, so now Jacob had to ask around. He didn't know where to start, first off, he had to find some inocence for Hazi. Blasphemy, if he knew what the farmer had said to the letter, then maybe it would help him. but where to start?

The tavern was the way it usually was. People laughing and drinking. People fighting in another corner. It was a busy day for Endelen's tavern. Many people were here sharing the latest gossip. Hazi's trial was bound to be discussed by someone here tonight.

Jacob sighed he walked up to one of the men, "Hey good sir, do you happen to know what a man named Hazi has been convicted of?" He asked Politly, He already knew the answer, but needed to get this guys attention. If he was lucky he would know.

The man looked over at Jacob as if he were the stupidest person in Mirawold. He threw his head back and laughed. "Oh, so your a priest! No wonder. Wait, heck, you should know! It was you guys who convicted him of blasphemy, so they say," he said the word slowly as if to make sure Jacob understood. He took a long drink of his rum then turned back to Jacob. "Blasphemy, it was. Not sure of the specifics, but he does," he said pointing to a terribly overweight man sitting at a table scarfing down a late dinner.

He dropped a gold coin on the table. He thanked the man and walked over to the 'fat man.' "Hello sir, do you know what Hazi said that caused the other priests to accuse him of blashpamy?" He asked the man.

The man looked up and held his hand out as if to say 'hold on'. He swallowed and wiped his face. "Come again?" After Jacob repeated himself, the man said "Have a seat."
The man leaned across the table and began speaking. "It was two days ago when Hazi the farmer was talking at that table yonder. The priest - I gather his name is Jesoshi - came in and heard them. I forget what Hazi was talking about, 'cause I wasn't part of the conversation, but the priest fellow must've found it to be mighty terrible, because he shouted "blasphemy!" and walked towards them quickly. I can tell you, everyone watched from then on. He said 'blasphemy' again and Hazi turned to him. Hazi said 'Not so, good sir. Not blasphemy. I speak merely of what I saw with my own two eyes.' " the man said and waited for Jacob to say something before continueing.

"So, what is it he said?" He asked inquisitivly, he had to know, or he was no use to this farmer. He moved a coin from one finger to another and put it on the table. "What else did they say?" He asked again.

"Well," the man said taking another oversized bite. "Well, he said 'You heretic! You don't even believe in the gods do you??' and to this, Hazi said 'On the contrary. I believe in them, I just don't think that -" the man swallowed down his food, having been talking with his mouth full. He continued, "we should waste our money on the church when we need to feed our own families. It's not like you use it for anything profitable' and ohh, I tell ya, Jesoshi went red!" He scooped another chunk of his food up with his fork.

Sadly, he hadn't known what the money that the church has was used for, he doubted that Oswin would be stealing from the people, so Oswin must have a reason for having the money. "Anything else?" He asked again. "Do you know who Hazi was talking to? or anyone who know's what he said?"

"I don't remember," the man said chewing. "Like I said, I wasn't part of the conversation. But afterwards, Jesoshi shouted 'heretic' and siezed Hazi by the arm and dragged him out. He's been imprisoned since, and his trial is tomorrow."

Jacob was getting agitated, only one day to help this man. "thank you sir." He said as he stood up, now what? Should he go and see the Hazi? maybe he might be able to help, but since he is a priest, Hazi might just spite him and refuse to answer. He went to the prisona nd asked to see Hazi.

(( Since there isn't a set prison board, like there is in Lebonwaith, we'll just stay here. ))
He moved down the street until he reached the prison. The jail keeper led him down to one of the cells below ground level. He pulled the iron bar lock out and pulled the heavy door open for Jacob. Inside the lonely, windowless cell was the farmer Hazi. He looked over at Jacob weakly. "Good morning, or good evening. I cannot tell which is which down here." He seemed to be taking his circumstances well. On the outside, at least. "Time for my trial already?"

Jacob shook his head. "No its not time for your trial, I just wanted to know what you said that cause such an uproar, see I was away at the time of you being accused and I wanted to know what it was you said. IF you would please tell me, I can do nothing but help you right now." HE said with a smile, not a wicked smile, but a smile.

The Elf looked at him in astonishment. "You? Help me? Hahahaha!!" He threw his head back and laughed. After he composed himself, he looked back at Jacob. "Why? Your one of them? You hope to see me burn like everyone else!"
