Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Bront]

“Do you know what dark deeds this cult was involved in, before their supposed destruction?” Baeleth asks, his attention returning to Verra as he wonders how much longer the priest will be.

"Just using Demons and Undead in plots against Sundaria and it's people. It used to be lead by Temera Invesperasci, but she and the cult were supposedly destroyed 20 years go," Val says. "Seems you can't get rid of vermine so easily though."

"We should probably do more research, and perhaps the princess might be able to send something to help. I should write her."

At the mention of undead, Rhaka shutters. "Unholy abominations to the natural world. I think in this case the animals have it right. Most flee when they come near."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You know the princess? Why not ask her in person then? As we guessed earlier, it is highly unlikely that their actual goal or hideout are located in this city, so we should likely move on...besides, I prefer a quiet secluded place in the forest to this loud and cluttered human city, though admittedly this particular inn is rather nice."

 

[Bront]

"Yes, I do know her," Val says, "And indeed, I suggested that earlier. The sooner she knows, the sooner she can prepare. And I'm sure Uncle...King Alden will be interested in this as well." Val says, corecting her slipup.

"We can't be too far from the capital--let's head over there then?" Dhistan suggests.

 

[Bront]

Val nods, "once the priest arives. Verra is in no condition to travel."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Dhistan nods.*

*After about twenty minutes more, a priest makes his way over.*

"Is there a lady in need of Lord Firemane's healing touch?"

 

[Bront]

"Yes, a lady, and a badger, if you would be so kind good sir(madam)," Val says, indicating Verra and Kinjon

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Male pronoun and lack of -ess mean 'sir' )

*The priest chuckles.*

"Now I see why they asked for me, then. Fear not. The Lord of the Pride watches over all both great and small."

*He nods and smiles before bending over to provide some healing for both Verra and Kinjon.*

(OOC: Verra recovers 11 and stirs awake a minute later, Kinjon recovers 4 and is better still than before but still not well enough to wake)

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Rhaka replies to the priest, "Your healing touch is most welcomed. Your compassion no doubt is noticed by your own god as well as the gods of others."
