[Alucard takes the brooch in hand, careful with how he picks it up. It is solidly made, and he considers it as Sten explains. As an indentity marker, Alucard's first thought is religion and the visual language of the church, and--
--oh, he doesn't like the new faith part.
Carefully, he offers the brooch back to Sten, not wanting it to get lost.]
And here I was afraid that they might be able to invoke some larger spell through the sigils left and gather more...whatever they might need for their ritual. That is a small relief, although I can't say that a faith that resorts to this kind of work is a preferred alternative. [He pauses to rub the bridge of his nose, slowly processing the idea that is starting to form in his head.]
This incident will be resolved, in time, but we may not be able to gather all of those responsible in one fell swoop. Do you think this faith survives or evolves further even if their leader is destroyed? Or even elements of it, given what they may believe about the relationship between gods and the Summoned?
