			''A swirl of green smoke puffs into existence, quickly forming into a rather docile blue-green pivuh.

			The blue-green pivuh peers around curiously, watching you.

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "}Tweedee I like eating."

			The pivuh stands near Tweedee, as if expecting ham.

			The pivuh glances up at Tweedee, shaking its head. It apparently is disinterested in whiskey.

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "You seem like a very well-armed diplomatic party. Intriguing. This should prove entertaining."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Ah! And you bring the one who provoked the Ecclesiarch. Very entertaining, indeed. I admit, I enjoyed watching Suulnir losing that stoic demeanor."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "And Suulnir is quite interested in conversation, I will give you that. Never seems to cease liking the sound of the Ecclesiarch's own voice."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "It's entirely too bad that the Ecclesiarch was too busy with experimentation to have received your missive. A shame, really, truthfully."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Fortunately, your missive was not unheard. I am quite happy to accept your surrender of the lands between the gates of Raven's Point and Horse Clans."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Why, yes. After all, the gates of Shard will be quite safe, I assure you. And Suulnir will never need to know of your surrender. I certainly won't tell the Ecclesiarch."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Why, the Black Spire. Surely you have heard of it. You've come all this way to its gates."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Ah! But you come to represent a provincial authority, surely."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Oh, little old me? I'm just a figment of sinew and goo. Lots of goo."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "I don't think anyone bothered to name me, truthfully."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "I'm a pivuh. I'm made of goo, I think."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes asks, "If you were in our shoes, would you particularly trust anyone who claims to use magic that is even tangentially related to your gods?"

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Trust is not requisite. Only agreement. We have agreed not to bring our knives to your gates as long as Suulnir's experiments with the dragon continue. We intend to keep that promise."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes asks, "However, you could be of use, even if you don't surrender." The pivuh appears to scratch its tiny pivuh chin. "Tell me, how many of you have experimented with the divine?"

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes asks, "Does it require a connection to the gods themselves?"

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Suulnir's not here, and we'd prefer some -- verification."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "If that's a question you're unprepared to answer, that's fine. Perhaps tell me the difference between Hylomorphic and Antinomic magic. Surely, one of you has experimented with either, or both."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes says, "Ah, so you're saying Clerics should not be trusted. Noted."

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes asks, "Alright. Perhaps a different approach is in order. Is Hylomorphic magic the same as Antinomic? Magically, I mean. Cut out the weird explanations, at the core of it, are they the same?"

			The pivuh glances around, peering at each of you. "Not forbidden, just theoretical understanding. I don't pretend to understand either -- I'm just a goo formed pivuh, after all."

			The pivuh peers around. "Surely, one among you knows how to use magic."

			The pivuh shrugs. "You tell me things, I tell you things. That's the sort of trade I thought you had hoped to make. If you're not interested, I can move on with my goo-filled day."

			The pivuh shrugs at Whiteburn

			The pivuh glances at Tirost. "We simply would like to understand what Suulnir claims, and verify what we can. Sadly, not all of us tend to attune to the Divine. I wonder why."

			The pivuh nods at Vanzok. "That makes sense to me, but we will need to research further. Very well. I will answer one question."

			The pivuh shrugs. "You can ask, but I may choose to answer one of the other questions, depending on what you ask. After all, I've heard quite a few."

			The pivuh nods to Sorhhn. "You did. Your sacrifice was well-received. Thank you."

			The pivuh chortles. "Suulnir is not my mistress. Suulnir is no Emperor."

			The pivuh shrugs. "I can, yes."

			The pivuh raises a single tiny finger. "I will count that as the next question." The pivuh winks, and seems to have something resembling a wry grin

			The pivuh offers a wry smile. "Truthfully, the real question we had was about the necessity of the Divine. You answered that, quite clearly. Thank you." The pivuh waves a tiny hand, and then appears quite less intelligent.

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes paces, its eyes burning with rage and teeth exposed in a snarl.

			A blue-green pivuh with a glint of awareness in its eyes jumps awkwardly into the air, its stubby wings carrying it southeast.
