After a bit of thought and a lot of mental work to try and figure out what Joss said,
"Someone must have tried to elimminate the Etyres priest. If any decent search was to be made, it would not have been difficult to find the village of the ducks, so I assume that someone, probably the person who took his place, got him out of the way, probably with the hynea skin trick."
"I suppose that before we walk into Corflu with him asking for a reward, we check about the person who took his place, and see what the consequences of returning him to the Lunars would be. I have a feeling that we might be bargaining for more that we can afford, and we might end up in trouble."
Perhaps, we should camp away from Corflu and two of us go inside, buy provisions and trading goods, and see what we can find out about the person who replaced him. I am imagining that whoever he is, he won't be happy with us walking with the old priest."
Thinking a bit more...
"And the Etyries cult might claim a sum of the reward we might get for finding the ruins of the old city if we walk in with him, claiming that he helped us finding it... right? Now, any of you want to share his part with the low voice so that the prisoner does not hear slimy lunars?"
