Again he is seated in a crowed room, only this is a house of worship. It is not like any he has seen before, but Tander knows a church when he sees one.  A choir  is standing near the altar. They are singing and swaying back and forth, their hands clapping in rhythm. Many in the congregation are singing along, clapping and stomping their feat and shouting out. Tander's immediate neighbors smile at him and encourage him, and he manages a few claps and shimmies in his chainmail before the song is over.A man walks in from the audience - he is tall, muscular, and dark. It is only when he turns to face the congregation that Tander recognizes him as the host/Merkari from his previous episode."Why are we here?" he says. "What have y'all come for?" When the congregation does not respond, he asks all the louder. "What are you doing here? Come on, let's here it!" A few people shout out - "to pray", "worship", "share the love", "feel the spirit.""Yes yes, good good. And who brought us here? What power made all these things possible?" Some mumbles from the audience. "What?" the preacher says. "I can't hear you!" "Merkari.""Loud-a! Come on, let me here ya!""Merkari!""That's right!" The preacher is becoming more animated, drawing out syllables and gesticulating grandly. "I remember when I first felt his power. I was feeling so low, so down and out. I hit bottom. Anybody out there hit bottom?" Some murmurs of assent. "Well Merkari told me what to do. He told me to get up. You dig? Get up-A! Can I hear a get-up?""Get up!" the congregation responds."I say, get-up-ah!""Get up!""Get on up! Come on, off your feet. Everyone, get up! Lift yourself up. Get up!"[/sblock]Tander stands up.[sblock=Back in church]"Now let's ask him for help. He can do it, he's a god. Come on, now. Merkari, protect us!""Merkari protect us!""Oh come on now, I need more than that. Come on-a! Merkari protect us!""Merkari protect us!"[/sblock]"Merkari protect us!" Tander shouts. A shockwave of pure divine force detonates in the center of Tander's chest, filling him and all of his allies with a burst of life, while whithering his enemies. (OOC: Beacon of hope, close blast 3. Allies in blast (everyone, I think - including Arnest <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) heals 9, Tander gets +5 heals this encounter, and enemies hit in blast are weakened until end of next turn. <a href="http://http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2179472/" target="_blank">10 attack rolls vs will</a> - DM please apply as needed to creatures both visible and invisible - rolls are 17, 10, 13, 9, 15, 25, 18, 12, 10, 22)[sblock=Back to the sermon]"Merkari," the preacher intones solemly while motioning to the choir. The choir begins to hum. "You have given so much to us. Now renew our faith. Merkari renew us!""Merkari renew us!""I said, Merkari renew us!""Merkari renew us!"[/sblock]"Merkari, renew us!" Tander raises a single finger, and an electric bolt flies from the tip and raises Woe from the brink of death. (OOC: Healing word on woe - woe spends surge  and heals <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2179473/" target="_blank">an additional 10 hp</a>)[sblock=Another call and response]As the choir's humming gets louder and the harmonies become fuller, the preacher speaks again."It is good to have you in our corner, Merkari. We are so grateful. We are weak, but you make us strong.""Merkari defend us!"[/sblock]"Merkari defend us!" Tander yells, surprising even himself with the intensity of his feeling. The light of a thousand suns shines all around him, and while the living manage to shield their eyes, the living dead are sent fleeing from the power of Tander's invocation.
