[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5817717, member: 82679"] The cleric looks at the group with a solemn expression and retorts with his usual gruff voice. "Going back to the farm is pointless and anyone straying from the camp after dark is dangerous. Don't mistake my meaning - your main task is still the security of this force and the participation in the expedition to the Valley. I might even be wrong, the dead things might have found another way to leave the Valley, who knows... I just wanted you all to be on your guard and to be wary of deceit. I want to know what's going on and stop people from disappearing and turning up dead. Dark nercromancers don't bother me over much unless they mess with the simple folk. We haven't had any around here though - the Baron's men and the various Temples would be too meddlesome for such pursuits of magical study." He looks at the stone and the amulet and scratches his short blond hair. "I've no idea what that stone is but it looks too eerie for a child to draw on her own. The amulet, I think I might have something on it but you'll have to leave it here and I'll have to consult some books. It will take time, and that's something I don't have in abundance right now." Ferviel nods as he produces his own holy symbol made of gold and begins chanting, while sprinkling the diamond dust on the dead body: "Lathander, Lord of Morning, God of the Sun, Bringer of Light, Patron of Youth, Father of Redemption, I call upon Thee to return this woman, Adelaide Swiftblade, back to us, so that she may yet walk her path and serve her purpose, so that she may know the joy of many more mornings to come and so that she may spread thine own radiance amongst her fellow men." As he chants, bright light erupts from his eyes and palms, much like the one that came from Geryk when he smote the undead. This light however, seems to move as if it were mist blown by the wind, or strips of silk floating trough the air. It brushes Adelaide and covers her, returning colour to her cheeks and lifting her body a few inches from the ground. The paladin's back twists in an abrupt arch and she wheezes in a breath of air as her eyes stare blankly at the ceiling of the tent. Ferviel stops his chanting, the light fades and there is no trace of the diamonds. Adelaide looks about with confusion, her cheeks a bit hollow, her eyes with dark bags underneath them, but otherwise alive and of seemingly sound health. "Wh... what is going on?" She looks about with confusion. "Dawnbringer Ferviel. And... Thok? Wh... where am I? Who are the rest of you?" Ferviel sighs and gets up. "You're lucky I know your father, girl. Now lay still, your wounds are still dire." He produces a wand from a satchel on his belt and blue light washes over his hands and onto Adelaide. He turns to face the group. "You lot, how prepared are you for another van mission tomorrow? I have some trinkets with me - emptied most of the worthy items from my stores and from the merchants in Angelwatch. Lathander's Temple is rich, if nothing else. Anyone need anything? I don't want any more corpses hauled back to me."
