This Meowclops is the Abbot at the Monastery of Meow, and the effective head of the Followers of Meow. He did not believe Fluffy's warning about the bandits until it was too late.
It is a great honour to have you among us. So few pilgrims come now, for the journey is difficult...
And few have interest in mouldy old scrolls or the baddling of aging monks. As lonely as it can sometimes be however, we are content.
The peace allows us to study and reflect upon the many mysteries of Meow.
Yes, praise be to Meow for peace is the most sacred treasure left behind for us.
So your warning of an impending attack... well, it is difficult to believe...
