[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9297406, member: 20459"] [I]As [B]MYLISTRA[/B] begins to follow the others up the slope in their attempt to escape the strange, noxious smoke, something within her seems to decide. In answer to a question that seems to echo in her bones ... possibly as consistently as her heartbeat ...<Why am I always running away?> ... the response springs up ... <This is where I stop. This is where I take a stand. This is where the Moonlight wins.> The witch sets down her satchel and--squatting down--removes several items from it--including a scarf with which she now covers the lower part of her face. Standing once again, she turns to face the smoke and raises both of her hands before her, each holding several clippings of dried herbs. To the astonishment of her friends, Mylistra then returns to the remaining coals, coughing slightly as she moves forward, finally stopping before the dying fire and staring down into the glowing embers, then up to the Moon, barely visible through the thick cloud of smoke. In her ancient and strange Stygian elvish, she begins to intone the following words, all while crumbling the appropriate herb onto the embers: I give you juniper to remove harmful energies and sage to banish ghosts and ward off evil, both for cleansing this place sacred to the Moon and to Living Nature. I give you cedar to disperse and drive out negative energies and to bring in good influences and rosemary for protection, clarity, and calm. Lavender and sweet holygrass I give you for peace of mind, relaxation, and an invitation to benevolent spirits. May we rest and sleep in calm. Mylistra then takes out her stone bowl and places into it burning branches of mugwort and holy basil, crushing the ashes with her pestle. Lifting her bowl, she turns to the others who have followed her, fearful for her sanity and her safety. She smiles wryly, then walks up to each, placing her fingers into her bowl and--with the ashes--making the mark of a crescent moon on the forehead of each, finally putting one on her own forehead. "With these marks, may Sehanine protect and ward us from all dangers this night."[/I] [HR][/HR] * Mylistra makes a Primary Skill Heal check to ward off the dangers of the noxious and toxic smoke so that they can locate/create a safe shelter in this clearing: r9+10=19 vs 13 Moderate DC. Success. [/QUOTE]
