[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9062541, member: 1282"] [I]Atop the low bluff that surmounts the entrance to The Pit, Arunny perceives the cold, silver beams of moonlight breaking through the clouded night sky like some great tripod supporting the weighty silver orb. "That light shines upon Dolg Hana," she says. "I spent some time there with my father and Ahaan as a child as part of my father's missionary circuit. A small village around a central well and oasis. Good people, farmers mostly, who work what fruits they can from the land. And those other places: Dolg Arat and Dolg Olsolis. I've never been to either, but they are similar places, or at least they were when I was a child, small settlements, not too far from Dolg Hana." [B]The whisky priest [/B]blanches. "Dolg Hana, did you say, Arunny? That name appears in [/I]The Shadowed Sun." [I]Ibhea pulls out from his pack his original copy of the text, not that duplicated by Xin Mae, and unwraps it carefully from its protective oiled wrapping. He turns the pages to a passage within [/I]The Decateuch [I]and begins to read aloud. "Blessed are they who readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand, Dread and Terrible Delban comes to the mortal world to harrow his enemies and scour their influence from the earth. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and but few eyes shall see him at first, though in time all kindreds shall wail because of him. "The Sun shall not hidest ever in Shadow, for the courter, Maba, leadest the way, moon before shadow, shadow before flame, flames to engulf the unsanctified. "In time, the Blessed Ten shall lead his worship, a great church built anew from the ruins. What beginest in Dolg Hana under great duress finds fruition throughout the land, first three brands to be enflamed, then ten torches casting shadows upon ten mortared walls, and ten trials endured, though none so punishing as what betides in Dolg Hana." Ibhea stops. "There is more. But I think you get the gist. These three oases are from where the Ten shall be assembled. So it is written in prophecy. And so it shall come to pass. Our trial begins in Dolg Hana."[/I] [HR][/HR] Arunny makes a Secondary Skill Perception check to make out the locations of the moonbeams (I'm going to count training as exhausted from her SC to locate her family since the two SCs are proceeding concurrently, but it's still a +10 autosuccess vs 11 Easy DC) for a +2 bonus to Ibhea's Primary Skill Religion check to interpret the signs via crossreferencing scripture, already an autosuccess due to his +15 vs 16 Moderate DC. Success. [/QUOTE]
