"I don't know how they kill people, here, I don't know if they'll let me go to Hell or not."

"They can stop you?"

"Yes. I don't know if they'd bother. But it's not very hard to  - turn someone into a statue, or something, instead."

"Wow. Why would they do that?"

"Good is an insane ideology that has lots of rules none of which make any sense. ...also they don't want Hell to know about your world, that's why I'd do it, but - I don't really trust them to have reasons for things."

"Do... you want me to ask?"

"I don't know. Do you...think that'd work?"

"Probably not, but I could try it anyway."

"I am not clear on why you consider any of this your problem but I am curious about the answer. And about the answer they'd give you."

"I'll ask, then."

She seems faintly puzzled by him, but tries to shake that off and smile.

Shrug.

"You must be very bored."

"They don't give me anything to do. I haven't wanted to turn up for services and even if I did they're only once a week."

"Huh. I don't know if that's a Good thing or a diplomacy thing or what. I think paladins do lots of work, generally."

"I suppose maybe they're thinking of answering their questions as my job."

"Maybe. I guess they'd have lots of questions."

"Yes. Though they don't take up a lot of time."

"Are you not allowed to participate in religious services or something?"

"Well, I'm not sure what they involve."

"What things would be not allowed?"

"I don't have a list. No one on Ibyabek anticipated any of this."

"At Asmodean religious services they mostly read from His holy books and there's a sermon about how it's applicable to your life, and then you pray."

"...but I have never read a holy book and I do not have any experience with sermons and I do not know what constitutes prayer, so that isn't very informative."

"I don't know how Good does any of it and I'm not clear on what things wouldn't be allowed but you could probably ask for Iomedae's holy book." She gestures at the stack of books on her desk. "I didn't even ask."
