Mundhildur Karadottir, Jotun singing giant Lvl 11 (7'4"/16'6") (Kim) AC 22 Touch 16 FF20 HP 131/131

"What if you hold a moot?" asks the giantess. "So, no anchorite has yet stepped aside from vows. This one wishes to do so. When people's needs and desires change, should we not consider that wise elves may meet, discuss, ask questions? If nothing else, what if you let Sylvie out long enough to be able to meet with wise elves, both lords and ladies, clerics, and others, and sort things out? Let her appeal for release from her vows, or, perhaps, to an adjustment to them. She pledged a life of service. Is there a way she might serve from some place outside of the trunk of a holy tree? Or serve part time within a tree, and part without?"

"An' what did th' people promise when Sylvie made her vows?" Elron asks. He knows they feed her, but that she still feels neglected by them.

Asimov says, "Could Sylvie have a furlough to talk to another Anchorite at least?"

[OOC: You guys are trying to offer ideas, but I need some skill rolls to go with them!]

That was supposed to be a diplomacy +3, so 21 for Mundhildur.

As he does when he doesn't seem to be getting through to narrowminded (or any other type of) folk, Elron turns up the volume. Now, hold on just a cotton-pickin' minute! Are ya tryin' to tell me that no other anchorite has ever wanted to break their vows? Well, that, I say, that just don't add up! I reckon there's more to this than meets the eye. Ya see, I got me a sneaky suspicion that Sylvie ain't the problem here. It's the community that's been givin' her the cold shoulder! Well, forgive me if I ain't convinced o' your goodwill, but I've seen how some folks 'round here can be mighty judgmental. Maybe Sylvie felt like she couldn't turn to nobody for help! Maybe she felt like she had to go it alone, with nobody to lend her a hand! You know as well as I do that life ain't always black and white. Sometimes ya gotta bend a little, ya gotta show some compassion! Sylvie's in a pickle, and it ain't fair to leave her hangin' high and dry like a scarecrow in a storm! This ain't about precedents, it's about doin' what's right! Sylvie's a good elf, with a heart as big as a dragon's treasure hoard. She deserves a chance to find her own path, to spread her wings and fly, figuratively speakin'! She's one of your'n, and it ain't right to leave her out in the cold like a snowflake in summer! Show her some kindness, some compassion, and help her find her way back into the fold!"

(Intimidate = 29 (or 25 if you take the size penalty) but Elron's really trying to convince them there's no point in arguing with him -- so they should talk to Sylvie -- rather than that they should be scared.)

The Twins have no real position on this debate. They've seen many cultures with many strange and unusual religious practices and they have no interest in judging or interfering.

Mundhildur nudges Zeoll. "You want to add to or support any of these ideas, friend?"

The Jotunar considers her knowledge of arcana (12) to see if that provides her any insight into the magic of the tree, as well as knowledge, nature (12). Then she considers what she has picked up here and there about knowledge, religion (21) to see if that helps her better understand, or come up with a line of persuasion for these elf folk.

Then she considers motives (sense motive: 28) to discern whether there is some aspect to what the elfs desire that might give a place of leverage.

"Good elfs. If a girl child suffers an illness, is it customary among you to berate her for feeling ill? For having an elevated temperature, or a bad cough? Or do you take a different approach to caring for the girl?"

Elron glowers at the elves, unwilling to give up on this idea of convincing them they don't want to argue with him. But he doesn't keep arguing while Mundhildur is talking so reasonably. (He suspects he'll get to argue soon enough, and considers his arguments while he glowers.)
