"Oh, I just kind of live - here." She gestures at the streets of Kenabres.

"How about you follow along behind us, at the end of the day we're going back to the Defender's Heart and it's the safest place in the city but I'm not sure you'll be safe getting there on your own, we've run into some demons."

"I can make demons go to sleep. Not all of the time, but sometimes they'll just go take a nap and stop hurting people, if I tell them to."

"...you've got witchcraft?"

Ember flinches. 

" - not that there's anything wrong with that. The whole west wound is held by witches!"

Anything I should know about witches, I've never met one? Bella asks Anevia and Seelah privately, and then to all of them, That's great, my stuff doesn't work on demons hardly at all, it would be awesome if you wanted to join us. I can point them out for you.

Their magic tends to be weak but inexhaustible - it can only affect a target once, or maybe once a day, but it can hit people all day long. Ludicrously useful in the field, but witches are rare and more often than not Evil.

Witches have - a patron, a source of their powers, some kind of powerful entity from another world. Some of those are friendly to mortal concerns, but lots...aren't. I am not detecting Evil, though.

"I'm happy to help!" Ember says. A bird flutters down to land on her shoulder. "This is Crow, he'll help too! What are we helping with?"

Hi Crow! We're trying to find an elf called the Storyteller - that's actually most of why we were even here in time to save you, I can tell species by psionics and distinguish individuals but have to look closer to find out things like whether they're attempting blood sacrifice - and also hoping to see if there's a back way into the garrison.

"Well, I don't know anything about that, but I can go with you and make the demons fall asleep sometimes."

This means they are next substantially impeded in their travels not by demons but by two humans having a very public argument. 

" - discuss this when the city's not overrun by demons."

"So you can smuggle them out? No. We'll discuss this now."

"Hulrun -"

"You're harboring criminals involved in the assault on our city, you'll hand them over, or I will kill you where you stand -" The man turns to glare at Bella and company. "And who are you -"

Uh, I'm Bella, hello - someone was actually hoping to introduce us not long ago because I can distinguish demons from humans reliably but right now the six of us are on a more specific errand - are we interrupting?

(They're only six if you count Crow, but Bella does, he's a person.)

Hulrun glares VERY SUSPICIOUSLY at them but relents somewhat in light of none of them being Evil, Anevia being someone he knows, Seelah being a paladin of his god, and Bella having just said something very interesting. (It is visible that this has only produced a slight decrease in his paranoia, and equally visible that the man is quite unwell; his skin is clammy and he looks on the brink of death in the way that high-level adventurers generally don't even when they're in fact on the brink of death.)

"You can distinguish demons from humans reliably?" he demands. "How?"

I'm a psion. She doesn't care for the word but if people didn't even think psions were real last week then the terminological inside diamondball is certainly going to be lost on them. I can detect people, and distinguish individuals kind of like recognizing faces, and distinguish species the same way, but since I'm not using my eyes illusions don't trick me. Uh - are you okay?

"Don't think that the demons have wounded me. I still have strength enough to destroy the city's enemies, whatever shape they take." Suspicious glare.

"The angel's sword chose Bella, and she helped Anevia and I get out of the underground alive. I do not think she's a servant of Evil."

"How often have you detected the city's enemies when they wear a fair face, hmmm? We are beset from all directions." He gestures frustratedly at the other man. "By traitors and heretics, as well."

Normally I'd say heresy wasn't a priority but apparently Iomedae doesn't go in for blood sacrifice and some people were trying it anyway, so if that's what you mean by heresy, definitely an issue. Not one I am very qualified to help with, though. Uh, do you want to walk with us for a bit and I'll point you at the next few demons I spot?

He will do this. Very grumpily. 

- and promptly spot some neathers and draw his sword with a growl. "Demonic beasts!"

Uh, no, those are neathers?

"They're obviously demonic beasts. I don't think your radar is very good if you can't see that."

" - the mongrels came up from the underground with us to help defend Kenabres. They're not Evil."

"Prelate, I think you're unwell and should head back to the Defender's Heart for Rathimus's help."
