Father Quadrial watches in amazement as the stone so casually thrown at the circling raven passes right through the bird.
He is still staring at the bird when he realizes that a stand off of sorts is developing around the fellow from the prison wagon (which seems to have disappeared into the misty morning.) The tenseness of the situation draws the big priest too its center (a habit that had caused Quadrial problems in the past).
"Friends, friends, save your energy for the minions of the dark." Pointing to the sky. "It looks like our two guides have decided to leave without us."
Indeed the white and black birds have started a slow flight down the Southern Road from the Dukes castle.
