Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aura" data-source="post: 6324936" data-attributes="member: 6747658">The young priestess acknowledges Wahyu's elaboration with a simple nod, adding, "Then it is time to begin." Her gaze is uncomfortable--unfocused eyes seem to look through the small Wayang as she speaks, giving her a rather distant quality.With that, she begins to work. She opens with prayer to Cortesia, then some priestly chants, a period of silence in which one would swear that she barely even breathes, more chants, and finally a closing prayer. By the time it is all said and done, nearly a third of an hour has passed, and her left hand hasn't released the victim's hand the entire time.Quite a crowd of stablehands, a mix of races including lizard folk, has gathered at the scene, intensely interested in what is going on. They sometimes murmur amongst themselves and Jaycus must annoyingly wave them off to keep them from crowding in too much.Finally, Anna takes a deep breath, and gently places Douglas' hand on his chest. His breathing has become even and deeper, and his skin color seems to have somewhat normalized. However, he remains unconscious. The priestess puts her gloves back on and lifts her hand to her escort, finally speaking once she has been helped to her feet, "Your friend is out of immediate danger and can recover, in time, without fear of the vile fevers the beasts subjected him to. Should his condition worsen, call upon me and I shall provide additional support with no expectation of further donation to the temple. Blessings of Cortesia upon you all." With that, she raises her hand and draws the symbol of Cortesia in the air.As the priestess makes her pronouncement, Jaycus spends a short while looking his fallen comrade over. Seemingly satisfied with the work, he stands and addresses her, "If you stop by my office on the way back, I will see to the donation, soon as I finish up here."As Anna is escorted from the scene, the head stable-hand turns to the group, "It seems I have a lot to take care of, but I just wanted to say," he pauses, "thank you. It's pretty clear things would have been much worse if you had not been here to help. I'd have lost more stable-hands… and axe-beaks, for that matter."The stables can't officially do much for you," Jaycus continues as he reaches into his tunic, pulling a folded parchment from an inside pocket, "but, here, take this, as my personal thanks. It's a writ for something I traded in at the Pearl on a day when they didn't have the cash for it. That coin-pincher, Almar, should have the coin by now. Best of luck to you on your trip." He offers the parchment to the closest member of the group, who happens to be Dunkel, before turning to start taking care of the scene. (Getting Douglas moved, the slain lizard folk tended to, stirge bodies cleaned up, axe-beaks checked out, etc.)[sblock=Spellcraft]Folks (such as Dunkel, who took an obvious interest) curious about the healing of Douglas can roll Spellcraft, DC 17.[/sblock][sblock=Writ]Yep, it's an IOU from the Mystic Pearl to Jaycus for the trade in of, "chain shirt, mithral, enchanted." The quoted value is 2100 gold. It's a bearer writ, meaning it is fully transferrable, so you should be able to go down to the Mystic Pearl and, assuming they don't have another cash crisis, simply cash it in.[/sblock]</blockquote>
