*Loviana, Orshallan will have one of the volunteers pick you up to take you out to a waiting carriage.*
"You will be no burden at all Larissa, and you will be safe in the Temple of the Invincible," Orshallan says, laying his hand on your hair in a 'protective' gesture.
*The carriage waiting is very fine, trimmed with gold and marked with Herioneous' symbol. After a few minutes' ride you arrive around the side, and an acolyte is summoned to carry you into a neatly-appointed cell, much like the acolytes use.*
"I must go tend to my duties, but Arnold will be here to tend to you if you have need. Just ring this bell here," Orshallan says, then give you a little bow and exits (that is after any other comments or questions you may have).

*Ralam, your dreams that night are troubled. A feeling of fear, something large and dark hiding, waiting to kill you, a flash of light, an empty street, cruel laughter, and a wash of crimson blood flowing down the street.*
*The next day a messenger arrives, asking to speak with you specifically. If you admit him into your presence you see he's a halfling boy, slightly scarred across the cheek from an old knife wound.*
"Sister Vel is the one you seek, she is skilled in the removal of unwanted curses. However, you must go to her, and she is not minded to come to you," he says. If you decide to go with him (after questioning or whichever) he will lead you to the red and black-faced temple of Beshaba, the goddess of bad luck. If there's anyone that knows about curses, it would be them.
*The acolyte will lead you inside, to a small chapel at the side of the church. In the windowless room a red-shaded lamp burns, and beside it is the shadow-shrouded figure of who you assume is Sister Vel.*
"You come seeking Beshaba's luck?" she murmurs.
