"Undead creatures block the way to a thief we have been hunting." She shifts her weight to her tail and then tosses back on side of her cloak over her shoulder, revealing her true nature.  "Ah, em.  My lady.  You do not look like one who fights.  Let me see."  With a little casting, his eyebrow raises.  Staring longer, he chuckles.  "Do it yourself!"  Confused,  "But I cannot.  I can heal Teq Oola, but only because he is a part of me.  I cannot heal Daylily.""Yes, Yes you can."  The halfling steps forward, grabing her cloak and ruffling it, opening it wider and searching.  "Now where is it?" Looking into her eyes, his brighten.  "If you hand me that" as he points to her headband, "I will show you."  She takes the headband off. and hands it to the halfling.  "That was my mother's.""Tis here...  In the beads...  Tanager's pearls.  These were your mother's prayer beads at one time.  Tanager has been watching over you.  He has chosen you.  He has gifted you.  Your battling ways will continue, but so will his way."  The halfling wanders over to one of the alters, retrieves something from it, then returns to the pair.  Looking to Daylily, "Come here proud and fragrant one.  It is time for your friend to learn."  "Take this my lady." as he holds an old, ornately carved wooden holy symbol.  "Hold it firmly and feel the power of Tanager flow through you.  Push that power out into the world in a flash. (in Aquan) Heal!""Heal!" as the energy flows through her and the symbol, she understands pieces of her dreams.  "That's it.   Now to prayers."  He goes over to the alter and picks up a book. "Umm, do you?"  She shakes her head.  Snapping his fingers, a younger acolyte comes running over and bows.  "Teach the lady of the sea her prayers.""But I haven't time!  We have friends waiting for us to return to the hunt.""Just do the basics.   Bless, cure and speed.  She could use it."  Turning back to Arianna, "I will tend to your friend while you learn your chants.  Memorize them.  Come back after your hunt to finish your training.  Take this book.  If you are going to spend time above the line, you should take the time to learn to read.  Much wisdom is stored in the books."While Arianna is learning a couple prayers and chants, the old inquisitor priest heals Daylily of his wounds.  After a rushed job of memorization, "And now to our fees.  It has been a pleasure opening your eyes to your true path, but we do have to collect for our work.  How many potions did you want?""We have five people, so ten might be good.  We used five just getting in through the trapped door.  How much of that healing energy will I be able to do on my own?"He snaps his fingers and an acolyte goes running off. "It depends on your strength of character.  Probably six times in a day.  All the people close to you will benefit at the same time.  The prayers will allow you to heal individual people as well."  Rummaging through her sack, pulling out all that she has earned so far, as well as Saranna's two gems, she finds she is a bit short.  "Daylily, he needs more yellow metal."   Between the two of them, they pay for the potions. (will figure split after GM gets back from family outing)"We have to go.  We have spent too long as it is.""Well... return after your hunt.  And good luck."Once they are out of the building, Arianna puts down her cloak, pack, weapons and her new holy symbol.  She brings forth her battle armor, and gets redressed.  This time, the holy symbol hangs around her neck.  "That's new." [/sblock]Arianna and Daylily return about an hour later. "Sorry it took so long, but it was worth the wait."   Grinning, an old holy symbol of Tanager hangs about her neck that was not there before.[sblock=ooc]Thuvian and Arianna have enough XP to level. (1340)  I dislike poof leveling, and the story in my head was too good to pass up at the moment, even if it stretches the LPF rules a tad bit. I have a lot of sorting to do with Qik as to how many of the 8 potions I could afford after leveling. 2 paid by Saranna, and Daylily has pleanty of gold.  There are 14 CLW potions in the Arcane Row, but do we register the purchase there that would be at a church?  Me the judge, and I don't know.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" /> Payments to process after the weekend: 10 CLW potions (2 Saranna's gems cover)1 wooden holy symbol1 prayer book2-3 direct castings of cure light woundsPriest/Inquisitor: An inquisitor has access to Arcane Sight, so could look into her soul and see what casting she could do.[/sblock] </blockquote>
