Ring says, "Why don't you go outside and wait for me. I'll tell old Snug Britches that I've just been given an opportunity to do some field work as a missionary among the unchurched masses, and ask him to pass my request up the chain of command. I'll go ahead and go with you for now, but I may be subject to recall later, depending on how the High Priest reacts to the request. Uhh, I wasn't exactly planning on this, so I don't have much gear for it. I do have some gold, though. If you could bear with me for an hour or two so I can round up some things I'll probably need, it would really help. I'm not exactly grat shakes with healing spells, but I can cast cure light wounds which will hopfully be enough?"
