[PbP] Treasure Hunt - Emerald DMing

"I was a musician. And I will be again, as soon as we get off this gods-forsaken rock. And if it's not too much trouble, I'd prefer to be called by my full name. 'Cat' makes me sound like some kind of housepet."

"Yes, let's most settlebly stay indoors."

Cid, after his prayers, grants Jarred his wisdom and heals him while he's at it.

"You had aught to learn to respect a crazy old Tom Bedlam. They end up being the guys that survive when the entire royal family dies. Ya, know? And it's important that you understand that I help you because I expect your respect all the time and protection when I can't protect myself. I also don't s'pose you have any prayers yourself? Anyone you give thanx to on holidays? Where do you come from Jarred, and who raised ye?"

"I'm from the far south, strong religious background and all. Big time slave trade goes on there, but I never suspected that when you go about freeing peoples spirits, and bodies, that someone would take it upon themselves to evicerate the wrath of being imprisoned upon it. No man had aught to be caged, ever."

Cid prepares Create Water x2, Detect Poison, Purify Food and Drink x2 (all are 0 level)

"This water should do you some good. Let me warn you, wild foods may be poisonous, but I can make it consumable, so long as the poison is natural and not magical."

"What's your story, kin, and what lifestyle is it that you come from?"

"OK. Now that you're healed Jarred, why don't you do the honors of going first thru the door. I've checked it for traps & it's not locked."

With that, Reinert switches to his shortbow & positions himself behind Jarred.

"By the way, thanks for the magic, Cid. Good water. Can you make food?"

"Well, I've never done it before, I guess I could try. I can purify whatever we get, and sense venomous fruits and meats. Once we are safe, I'll try and pray for food. I'm not sure how Ra feels about that, maybe he will grant it literally, through me, or maybe he will make it possible to find it... hrm..."

Knowledge (religion) check to see if I know anything about 'how Pelor reacts to a lower level cleric praying for higher level spells (3rd level: create food and water) in a pinch.'

Edit: Either way, I still pray, I'm just using knowledge to see if I know the answer in a 'game mechanic' sense, because as soon as I pray, I'm going to interpret the next meal we have as a gift -nomatter what happens.

Edit: Edit: To better explain what I'm getting at, Cid is going to pray for food. The knowledge (religion) check is to more accurately find out what I should expect.

"Should I suspect to be granted the spell on a need basis, will it have an attached requirement of some kind?"
"Should I suspect that my prayer will be answered with a punishment for asking for something I havn't 'earned' in my gods opinion?"
"Should I suspect that my god will grant my wish in a less direct way, like finding food in the keep or having a successful hunt?"

Jarrad receives the healing and thanks the priest. "So you are a real Cleric after all," he says.

"My own lifestyle? Farming family, then I wanted to do more rather than toil fields. And besides, the women in my village were too ugly for me," he laughs at his own joke.

Jarrad says to Reinert, "Very well. Gather yourselves and get ready then."

Jarrad approaches the door.
 

Cid: You think you will be able to create enough food to sustain 1 person for 1 day (cast as a 1st level spell).

Jarrad: You open the door and enter an antechamber.

This room once had plastered walls painted with frescoes of a goddess, her symbols and her deeds. The paint and plaster have badly flaked over the years. There is no furniture in the room, only wind-blown rubbish.

There are two sets of double doors in the room, one leading outside and the other, further into the temple.
 


Jarrad steps in cautiously, sword drawn. "If the orcs and goblins are afraid of this place... there must be something worth being afraid of."

Change on list then, and that Create food for 1 person seems exactly right compared to create food and water 3rd, clever: Olvl: Create Water x2, Detect Poison, 1st: Create Food x2

"Well, Pelor be with me this day! He has granted you all some sustenance to tide you over for the moment!"

Cid opens his fists with four fist sized starfruit. "This is only enough to keep our stomachs tided over, we will need to supplement this for our daily nutritional allotment."
