"Responsible or not, guilty or innocent, I will not deal with someone who is under suspicion of something so cowardly as poisoning customers. IF Rulkelp was set up, I am guessing you will prove it." Marius states to Saranna's inquiry.
When Relic asks about the fish trade, Marius shakes his head
"What little I do know from the poor soul's nightmares is only what he screams when he wakes up. It does not seem to be the local fishing trade, but rather a shipment company who is based in the city."
Marius then listens as Relic asks his second question. A slight eyebrow raise before answering with
"I was unaware, as I had to deal with the aftermath of my own problems. I wish I had known, as I could have lent him some supplies. Losing a shipment at sea would have cost him immensely."
It is not until Relic's last question that Marius starts to show some interest in the discussion. He stares at Relic, his eyes seeming to evaluate the man some time before saying
"I see." He stands up, and goes over to altar, and starts looking for something.
"I will warn you, his mind is still very much effected from the trauma. I will need your help holding him down if it comes to that." Marius calls from behind the altar
[sblock=Saranna]A small amount of sadness is displayed in Marius's face as he talks about Rulkelp. As the conversation went on, Marius seemed to realize why you were here. The slight concern you saw in his eyes as Relic asks to wake the burned man is relived by a sense of duty and justice. If the real culprit can be caught because of this, he will gladly assist you.

Diplomacy: You have convinced Marius to wake a traumatized third degree burn patient. Grats
Know Local: Rumor has it that a man was found washed up at the docks 2 nights ago, claiming to have been attacked by a female silver haired elf wearing a scorpion medallion. She was accompanied by a man in priestly vestments. After setting the boat aflame, the pair of them went below deck, but never came back up. The man was last seen at the temple of Hinotheus. And now you are going to soon be hearing the account first hand.
