[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9290645, member: 7044099"] [I]Adalbar slips off into a fitful sleep, his mutterings and twitches denote the trauma in his recent past - and maybe something more. Ever since cresting that hill, Valak has detected a ... taint overlying this place. Maybe it's just the grief, fear, and anger in this town; maybe it's something more. Something malign, stirring the villager's hearts to twist in on themselves and strike down any authority that remains, leaving it ripe for the plucking. Valak steps over to his pack and considers the contents. Normally an consecrated Avenger would be able to call upon the local priesthood for support when rooting out evil, maybe rustle up some paladins to grab attention while he slips through the walls and shadows to excise the heart of the matter. Here, he all he has is his faith and a couple of brave children. Perhaps the answer is to start by sanctifying this humble cabin. A place that was the start of so many journeys and stands right on the frontier of this vale is halfway to a temple to Avandra already. Surely Adalbar had given Her plenty of prayers over the years, beseeching Her luck on a hunt or a smooth path away from the dangers that lurk in these woods. Valak nods purposefully and pulls out two items from his pack. A little sack of sacred incense that he places in a pot and lights from the embers in the stove, and his book of prayers. He does not need to read from his, but it's a comforting focus for the hours of meditation that will come. He leaves the pot to fill the cabin with the sweet clean scent of incense, maybe it will buoy Adalbar's spirits as he sleeps. Stepping through the door he faces the sunset on the threshold to the house - few places are more sacred to Avandra than a spot where journeys into the unknown begin. He cradles the book in his hands and settles in for a night of meditation and letting Her presence fill him and this house.[/I] _______________________________________________________________________________________ Secondary skill use: Endurance, to meditate through the night calling out for Avandra's blessing. r14+6 = 20 vs Easy DC of 12. [B]Success, +2 forward.[/B] Primary skill use: Religion, to sanctify the house and ward off the malign affects in this town from tearing at Adalbar's spirit so the healing tonic on its way can complete his recovery. r17 + 12 + 2=31 vs Hard DC of 25.
