Only, it never works like that. it is always a bit anti-climactic. Your bodies ache (probably as much from 2 nights sleeping on a wooden floor than from any actual physical damage you suffered), your bellies are growing empty, and the evil you just vanquished now feels like a retreat into a personal tragedy.Sandpoint is as it always is: a busy little town nestled against the coast, busy with fish-wives and the likes. It is just past lunch-time. Ho hum, you may as well head to the temple first.A young lay person greets you as you enter the temple and quickly runs off to fetch Father Zanthus. The old man greets you warmly, placing his hands upon your shoulders as he passes amongst you and guides you towards his reception chamber.There he offers you weak ale (safer to drink than water), and some sourdough bread."What brings you to the Temple, my children?" he asks, his soft voice making you feel at ease.Jovik and Danth lead the tale, taking turns to fill things in as you relate, in brief, the entire affair.At the end Jovik lifts the small bundle from his bag, taking care to hold it together to make sure no bones slip loose. Father Zanthus takes the tiny package, his face heavily lined with sadness."The child should lie in consecration this night. Let us pray for him, to purify him. It may ease his journey. We shall bury him in the morn, at first light, as is our tradition. You may join us if you wish."</blockquote>
