You know, the ram isn't entirely unreasonable. Since outside not that far away, is a forest filled with rotting zombies and creatures that suck the.. something, out of people to make those zombies.

Indeed. When in an environment filled with zombies, nymphs, magicians turning innocent people into monsters, literal demons, and who knows what else, a rather zealous approach to defending against such things is not unwarranted.

It does explain his behavior when they first met earlier.

I think its also something to appreciate that his concerns can be allayed at all, and once they were he immediately became sympathetic.

Looks like Barbara and Gascón are going to have full dance cards.

The lamb is as priceless in her way as the Sorcerine's little bat.

In situations like this I am so glad I am not that deep in church

So...

They ask the witch to help them find a place to live peacefully.
She tasks them separately with a job that shows him a clearing with evil sylphs and has her find out through the priest there's followers of Chaos arund.
He has the skills and knowledge to deal with those. She is uniquely suited to deal with those adherents.

And by doing so most likely earn themselves a place to stay in the village.

it would be even better if she reveals her name, and turns out the ram had known of her before she was turned.

Hey hey, things are getting spicy now. I like where this is going.

Straying from the path of virtue. Be of faith or not, all people who wish to walk that path know just how damned hard it is to keep on it.

You are all under the seal of the confessional now. Mention what you've read to no one else! Oh, just kidding.

Me gusta como apesar de lo radical que es el señor se pudo entender con ella

Sólo había que darle una oportunidad.

nice to see he finally understands

*blinks* This is mind boggling, I've met priests who'd have attacked, regardless of her words, and the truth behind them
I'm amazed that there exists such a man of the cloth. He has faith but, also a heart...and a mind that works

Not only those, as some readers might guess from subtle hints in the next page.

Ah..subtle...means I either missed it by a mile or I got it and I don't even realize it

Seems the mention of Chaos has mollified his hostility. But so long as evil does not rule her mind or her heart, then she is no true monster, despite her body.

Besides, in many ways, the Faith was meant for people like her. Outcasts and pariahs who seek salvation, to rejoin the community, or at least find a place where they can heal and rebuild their lives. It saddens me that we stray from that so often. But then, I suppose we are only human.
