Carlog looks a bit confused by the interplay regarding the elf, and walks off muttering: "Adventurers..." after he settles the group in one of the side rooms. Also open to the sky, the room is simple with a long bench against one wall. Anna huddles beneath the clothing that protects her from the sun and waits. A few minutes later, Elara sweeps into the room, followed by Carlog. "This had better be good. Mind you, right now the meeting is stuck with everyone going in circles, so I don't mind the break. But it doesn't look good for me to not be there..." She is a middle aged woman with crow's feet around her eyes and a slightly wrinkled cast to her skin. She is also well tanned, with long blonde hair. Then again, most followers of Pelor are well tanned... She peers at the three adventurers, and focuses on Myst. "Brother Mysthyr. Bring me up to speed. Emphasis on speed, if you please."
"We will speak of these tunnels later. In the meantime..." And she peers under Anna's hood, "Very odd. And overly sensitive to light." She pauses for a moment, murmuring something under her breath, and Mysthyr recognizes it as a prayer for guidance from Pelor. Higher clerics are able to use it to determine if a course of action is likely to be helpful or harmful to an individual. Elara mutters under her breath, "Well then my dear.." and then says, "Carlog, please close the roof overhead." He leaves the room, and likely with the help of other acolytes, the roof overhead is pulled back over the side room and only the wall torches provide illumination. Elara convinces Anna to remove the covering fabrics, and with Carlog back, says "Now.. this may sting a bit..." She touches the holy symbol of the sun at her throat, murmurs a few words, and then sunlight seems to burst from the object, illuminating the young, shimmering skinned girl - who immediately shrieks in pain. Elara's eyes narrow as if she wants to stop, but she keeps the light on the woman in spite of her writhing in obvious pain, wisps of something that appears smokelike rising from her skin. Anna tries once to throw herself forward towards the door, but Elara is between her and it, and the light is stronger closer to the symbol. Anna shrinks back, trying to press through the wall behind her.
Throughout, Elara continues to pray, "Pelor, with your light, drive the darkness from this young woman!" It seems to take minutes, but in reality probably is less than 30 seconds long before Anna's shrieks become whimpers, and the smoke lessens. Elara keeps the light on Anna for at least a full minute longer, by which time Anna is merely shivering. "Anna? We would like to keep you here for awhile longer. We will send someone to bring your mother to us. I think you should stay in sunlight the rest of today, and probably all of tomorrow." Carlog makes his way back out of the room and the roof is withdrawn so that sun illuminates the room. Anna blinks in the light, but otherwise seems mostly unaffected. She replies, "That... That would be fine. Oh. Oh, thank you." She looks from Elara to the three adventurers, "Thank you so much." Her voice breaks at the end.
