“Grab the Azlanti funerary urn on the top shelf, there’s an enchanted dagger in there.”

Okay Orgull didn’t actually know that part.

Shit, which one was meant to be Azlanti?

The ugly grey one probably.

The older priest continued ranting while he struggled with the straps on the armor.

“Seems the Galtans got bored of waiting for those lazy bastards in the Admiralty to come tidy them up, what! So they’ve come here to get their kickings from us in person. Splendid!”

“I’ve told you before boy. Cyprian may have polished them up and taught them to walk in straight lines, but the Galtan can’t stand the taste of good Chelish steel! Mark my words boy, we’ll march out to them on the field and they’ll scatter, just like when we put down their stupid rebellion.”

After a brief moment of frustration shaking the urn Orgull dropped it on the floor, and fished out the dagger from the shards of pottery. 

“The reports say there’s quite a few of them sir. Perhaps we should rally to a more defensible position?”

“Ha! Maybe they’ll put up a proper fight this time. Don't worry boy. Any men you kill will be your first slaves once you're a devil. We'll take a few hundred with us and be toasts of Mammon’s court tonight!”

Holding the dagger in his hand, and looking at the back of the man as he scrabbled to do his armor straps, Orgull made a calculation. 

If we fight today we are all going to die.

I don’t want to die.

Because Asmodeus doesn’t want me to die. He put me here to serve Him. He has untold devils in Hell and I’ll reach him soon enough.

This man is going to get us all killed. Which would waste Asmodeus’ property carelessly.

This man is an enemy of Asmodeus. 

“Sir, let me help you with that.”

He stepped up behind the older man. 

“Looks like the chain on your Symbol is caught in clasp of the gorget, here see... 

Okay, I think I've got it, lift up your chin for a moment”

Higher circle Priests are harder to kill, like priests and nobles are stronger than commoners. The Church teaches this is a blessing of Asmodeus, illustrating the Divine Order. Its also a large part of what keeps the Church hierarchy at all stable.

But it turns out that if you have their items, their holy symbol, a knife to the neck, a moment of surprise, and the blessing of Asmodeus you can overcome such barriers.
