("Hey!")

Okay, at least if this is enemy action it is enemy action that bothered to impersonate a specific guy and not just a rando who can say whatever. He hands the guy over.

 If Blai's handing him over to the Inquisition this guy is going to get violent about it. With his fists, since Blai took his knife.

...is he strong enough for that to be even slightly a problem?

He's strong enough to break his accuser's nose, apparently! But that's fixable, and he's not strong enough to actually escape.

Yeah. And Hulrun's got a fair bit of durability on Blai, he'll be fine. Is there a channel scheduled for soon?

The next one is in half an hour.

He feels no need to preempt this especially if the guy doesn't even ask.

Off Hulrun goes to escort the alleged cultist to a cell!

"D'you think he really did it?"

"I don't know, but if someone is slinging random accusations they are at least doing it under a recognizable identity."

Tail-twitch. He nods.

This is really not how the bartender was hoping to get the party started, but he's not about to cancel the celebration over it! Would Blai like to experience fancy alcohol? Food that isn't just Worldwound stew? Music? More people asking him to bless their miscellaneous possessions?

He will passively take in music, pass on alcohol, eat food, and improvise possession blessings.

The food is delicious! The bartender purchased a Create Food from Rathimus for the occasion, and is taking advantage of the fact that Created food works perfectly fine as an ingredient in more complicated recipes, if you have more people than could be fed on a single casting. There are sausage-and-onion pies, thin slices of bread with cheese and nuts, apple turnover pastries...

Thall comes up to him after a little while. "You just hit fourth circle, right? You didn't cast an Extended Delay Poison for some reason, did you?"

"- yes, I just hit fourth circle and don't even know how to extend spells. Is... the alcohol not hitting you...?"

"It wasn't, so I checked to see, and there was a little bit of a conjuration aura still hanging onto me."

"Huh. I suppose the spell is hanging on due to the poorly understood effects. ...that or the Count decided to play a prank on you, which I can't rule out but certainly did not notice at the time."

"I hope I'd have noticed him casting an extra spell on me, and the one he said was a Neutralize Poison definitely felt a little different from the Delay Poison..."

"It looked like Neutralize Poison to me, it just came to mind as a remote possibility. Probably some of my spells are just lasting longer for - I'd say 'some reason' but we know very slightly more about it than that. The same some reason."

"Huh. I wonder if there's a pattern to it being this one rather than one of the others."

"Well, I haven't cast very many spells today. Stone Shape doesn't have a duration, Mark of Justice doesn't the other direction, and I'm in the habit of finding something to pop a Guidance on before it would wear off and do not leave created water lying around overnight as a rule."

Nod. "...If there are spells you're not expecting to need you could test them out now?"

"I've got two Blesses and could try one of them."
