[QUOTE="Iron Chef BBQ, post: 1126401, member: 1844"] [b]Terri Heals a Filcher[/b] Prayer, or at least several hours of it, brings Terri no relief. With bent shoulders she trudges her way home through the dingy streets. She avoids the pickpockets and cut-purses with the same unconscious competent grace with which she dodges the chamber pots being emptied from third story windows. Her ears pick up an unusual noise, coming from down Knocktwice Alley. Not a whisper, not a scrape of dagger, or even the muffled thud of a blow. Not even the whimper of the mugging victim. More of a squeak. And the sheer novelty of it causes her to turn and look. There, huddled against the ubiquitous pile of rubble, is a furry bundle. A filcher, Terri realizes. It's shaking badly, and is lying in a pool of what looks like its own vomit. Terri has always liked filchers. Their sense of mischief and love of play make them one of the few joyous creature in her part of town. And so she steps closer. The filcher opens one bleary, bloodshot eye, and looks at her. It's tiny, almost human hand extends a scrap of paper to her. Drawn on the paper, in a crude hand, is a crowned filcher, and a picture of a house. Terri recognizes the design as looking like the warehouses in the Merchant District, although she doesn't know the house shown. The tiny filcher, a female, Terri realizes, reaches for her hand, and then doubles over in a spasm of pain. Neutralize Poison, that's the trick, Terri thinks, as she focuses her mind on the prayer. Not even sure if the blessing will work on a non-human, she feels Enkili's will move through her. And the little filcher takes a shuddering, disbelieving breath, and then breathes freely. After a moment, the young filcher stands, and takes Terri's hand. Waving the scrap of paper in front of her, the creature tugs Terri's hand, and begins to lead her through the streets. "What the hell." thinks Terri, "I'm off to see the King of the Filchers." [/QUOTE]
