A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [02]

Tsadok

Inside the box is a wooden holy symbol of Sarenrae on a silver chain and a simple silver brooch. The brooch is the source of the magic aura perceived by Harnry.

Tsadok will remove both items and hold them for the party see. Once every has seen, he will place the brooch back in the box. The holy symbol and chain he places in his open palm, then closes it tightly around the symbol of faith and will begin praying a prayer from his childhood. His prayer begins as little more than a whisper but as the tears begin to form in the young man's eyes his volume begins to increase until it finally crescendos when he rises and stretches his hands to his sides and is clearly in another place. The words he prays are not a dialect any of the party understands but it is clear from his actions, he is very passionate about his faith.

When he is finished, his hands fall to his sides, holy symbol and necklace still grasped tightly and all is quiet. He takes the holy symbol and chain and tucks it under his belt, much as the monks would the rope about their waist.

He then looks about the group nervously, unsure of what their reaction will be to his primal demonstration.

"Passionate faith That is always good." then Harnrey will attempt to asses the brooch for identification:

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou watches Tsadok with a raised eyebrow as he 'performs' his prayer and suchlike. "Tsadok, I had no idea that you felt that way," he says with a wink.

[Scott DeWar]

"this brooch is quite a handy device.It absorbs the energy from a spell called Missle of force (read:magic missle). It is not continous, but it can absorb quite a lot of damage."

 

[renau1g]

"It would be useful if we ever encounter someone you can fire those missiles of force, any idea who could use them?" the cleric asks

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I myself can cast them. they are of the arcane school of evocation. The brooch would be advantagious to be worn of any of us."

 

[renau1g]

"Well, perhaps if you are the one able to cast them, an enemy who also can cast them may target you for a battle of the magicks. Perhaps you would be the best suited for them" Aodhán suggests.
