Agilus and Agia

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Not so sure about hair, but something has to explain the stripe above
Agilus' ear.  While I don't doubt it is an indication of Agilus'
dishonesty, that he is a man who wears many masks, what is the plowman's
meaning here?  The only plausible, however far-fetched, explanation is the
face paint of the Jungle Sorcerers.  We have the evidence of Agia's
scribbling the symbol on the floor of the dungeon, but little else.  I am
still not satisfied with the explanation, but it will serve as a
placeholder as it has for years.  I still can't shake the relation to the
masks of the Hierodules.  Perhaps someday I will come across a better
theory.
