"Yes since the school fell. Can you help her?"


"I'll need some time to talk to the Goddess... but yes. Please step over to the waiting area - I need some quiet." he said, gesturing to an area by the side. Once the three of you had stepped away, his assistants moved in to fill the gaps - and he simply sat down beside Junia's body, clasping his hands together and holding up his holy symbol as he prayed. About five minutes after he started, however, there was a quiet commotion near the entrance to the area - and you caught a glimpse of a tall man dressed as a Priest of Asmodeus talking to several of the initiates, who looked like they were trying - and failing - to convince him to leave.

Beseth stands up and approaches the tall man, "Excuse me Sir, I believe you are not welcomed here." She states simply.

Makallun'abad shakes his head at Beseth's blunt statement, but doesn't reproach the woman. "If you have something you wish to say, we will gladly hear you out. The Priest is currently busy, but we can keep you company until he is finished," the dwarf states. His words and tone are polite, but the look in his eyes clearly states that the Asmodean will not be seeing the man assisting Junia just yet, come hells or high water.

Hadran watches over the priest and the girl seeing Beseth and Thane have the situation under control.


That might be a rather little event Mak was willing to go through... and the Asmodean priest, a handsome and clean-shaven man, merely tilted his head and smiled. "I disagree." he answered. "The Dacilane Family is one of the patrons of our church here in the city, and in return for their generous support of our faith, we offer certain services to members of their family. The Dawnflower's church will charge you for the girl's healing - I will not. Indeed, I am obligated to provide such services if able to do so, and so here I am. Now, kindly allow me to tend to the child so that she may be returned to her mother, who I am absolutely certain will provide the best of care as she recovers from... whatever it is that happened here."

Sense Motive (Beseth): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Sense Motive (Mak): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

As far as you can tell, he's being completely honest with you - the girl needs healing and he's more than willing to do it right now, and without charge.

Knowledge Nobility: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Is the Dacilane family Chelish? Are they associated with Asmodeus, and in good standing with the rulers of Cheliax.

Beseth thinks for a moment before responding.


Ethnically, she did appear Chelish. Presumably, they would be associated with that nation's spiritual leader - though you don't know what their current standing with Cheliax's rulers is. You'd have to ask someone with current information on such things.

"Do you have any paperwork to support your claim? I would hate to invalidate a contract."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

The eternal shield asks politely, honestly she cared little for who healed the girl, so long as she was alright, but if there was a contract involved it would be in the girl's best interest not to invalidate it.


"My sworn word is all the testimony you should need." the priest answered. Then the corner of his mouth twitched up in a grin. "Believe me, I wouldn't dare to lie about a matter such as this. Lord Asmodeus does not like liars - indeed, he has a special place to torture them. Besides, we get along well enough with the Dawnflower's church, and I would not be the one to upset the courtesy we show each other without specific instructions to do so, and I have received no such instructions. I swear on Lord Asmodeus' name that I am here only to fulfill my obligations, provide what healing I may to the child in question, and ensure that she is returned safely to her family."

Makallun'abad turns to look at Beseth, a deep frown on his face, but he nods at the woman. "I believe he is being straight with us," the dwarf states simply, stepping to the side and out of the Asmodean's way. "If the girl wakes up, I don't care who helps her out," he adds, motioning for the priest to head over to where Hadran and the old man are.

Beseth too removes herself from the man's path. "I shall take your word, please see to the girl's healing."


HP: 174/174(188/188 Rage) -4CHA Checks in Abyss [MP 9/9 ][LP 2/2][Rage 23/23][Perform 28/28][Trance 8/8]| AC: 24, T: 19, FF: 24 | DR 5/Evil: Pro. Evil | Fort: 19, Ref: 19, Will: 15 | CMB: +15, CMD: 26 | Init: +16, Percep: +19:

Having overheard the conversation Hadran stands and approaches the man.

"I know your lord well. We will be happy to let you fill your obligation if you will sign a contract. The contract is simple. You cleric of Asmodeus will agree to heal the girl of her wisdom drain and that is all. Two you will perform the service here and now in front of us and the priest here. If you agree to this we will seal the deal as I trust your lord of contracts would not like if you violate one. What say you priest."


"I refuse." the cleric answered promptly. "As stated, I have other obligations beyond the immediate healing, including seeing the girl to her family - and healing any other damage to her that we may not know about yet. I cannot and will not make any agreement that would require me to violate agreements that have already been made. Our sworn words would be meaningless if we could abandon them simply by making new agreements - without the consent of all parties involved, at least. One thing you can always count on, good sir, is that our church will uphold our contracts. And every moment I am delayed is one more moment a child continues to suffer."

"She is receiving the aid she needs now. I care not for your obligations. I care for the girls safety and well being. Whatever her family chooses to do with you and your church is not my concern but she is under my care for now. You stated. "I am obligated to provide such services if able to do so, and so here I am. Now, kindly allow me to tend to the child so that she may be returned to her mother." I have offered you this chance in a simple contract and by not entering said contract you have shown me ill intention. These other obligation that have come up can have your attention now since it seems they are so pressing. Now as the priest kindly asked you before, I will ask you again leave."

"Hadran, I understand your distrust of this man, but we are not privy to the details of his contract, nor what would qualify as a breech of the contract. It is entirely possible that the contract would become invalidated if this girl were to receive healing from someone unassociated with the church of Asmodeus. I do not care to see this girl suffer any more, especially if we become the cause of her suffering." Beseth is calm in her explanation as she looks upon the Asmodeus priest, "Would it be acceptable for us to accompany you to make certain that the girl returns home unharmed?"


The priest raised one immaculately-groomed eyebrow. "I already sent a carriage off to contact her family and bring them here. After all, this is clearly a matter where her parents - who, I'd like to note, are still her legal guardians - should be informed and brought in as quickly and directly as possible. If her parents wish for you to escort them home, I have no reason to object."

Makallun'abad sighs heavily. "Just let him do what he must, Hadran. It doesn't matter who helps the girl, as long as she gets the healing she needs. As long as she is awake and unharmed, that's good enough."


HP: 174/174(188/188 Rage) -4CHA Checks in Abyss [MP 9/9 ][LP 2/2][Rage 23/23][Perform 28/28][Trance 8/8]| AC: 24, T: 19, FF: 24 | DR 5/Evil: Pro. Evil | Fort: 19, Ref: 19, Will: 15 | CMB: +15, CMD: 26 | Init: +16, Percep: +19:

"I have given my terms to this priest. He refuses to enter a contract to provide care for the girl. He is not to be trusted. I have dealt with Asmodeus many times before. If the parents wish her released to him then so be it, but I will not release her to this priest without their consent."


"And I do not accept your authority to dictate terms to me, sir, least of all on the premises of a church that I see no sign you belong to." the priest said, tone a little colder. "You are obstinately interfering with the completion of my legally recognized obligation to aid a member of my church, and if you continue to behave in this manner, I am afraid that I shall have to ask the Graycloaks to escort you from the premises... and I see they're already here to do that." He glanced at the two guards that had come with you, both of whom straightened slightly. "To be as clear as possible, I do not care if you dislike me, my lord, or my church. Your opinion is nothing to me when compared with my obligations, and I will do what I must to help the child. I have no desire to make a scene or cause trouble here, but you seem intent on giving me no choice. I strongly urge you to reconsider your behavior and consider how your attitude will reflect upon you once her mother arrives. I sincerely doubt she will appreciate her beloved child continuing to suffer simply because you refused her family priest passage. And under the eyes of a senior member of Sarenrae's church, no less. I doubt I could get away with doing anything beyond what I've already said I planned to do, even if I wanted to - which I do not."

Out-of-character, I rather like it when you three stick to your beliefs. XD I figure gods wouldn't be the sort to give up their cherished notions the moment someone disagreed with them.

"For someone who worships the lord of contracts you contradict yourself time and time again. I simply asked for you to honor what your first said to heal the girl. You chose then to not do so here as I assume you have other motives. You now offer to do so in front of the priest of Sarenrae. I have no problem with you doing what you can for the girl here and under supervision. As you said we wait for her parents anyways. So if you are now done twisting your words and agree to assist with the healing here then I shall let you pass. I have closer ties to this church then you know of priest. You have shown no proof of your obligation to this family or this girl. We have spoken to no one but these Graycloaks of her being found. So I do not care what you think your obligations are. You will stand down or wait for the parents to come and prove your story. If this is done I will step aside, but until then I keep the girls best interest at hand and let the priest here continue to heal her."

"Alright, that's it. Hadran, shut your mouth and let the man pass," Makallun'abad finally bites out, thoroughly fed up in listening the to former god of knowledge act in such an uninformed manner. "I will NOT let the poor girl suffer while you posture at and argue semantics with the one who can help her. Neither you nor I have any authority here, so if you will not move aside, I shall make you. The girl's well-being comes long before anything else, and we have no reason to believe this man won't do exactly as he says he will."

Sorry, I really can't see any reason for you two to be monologuing back and forth at each other while the poor girl is still unhealed. Mak doesn't care about either Hadran or the priest's stations, just that the former can help her. And that's the 100% most important part.

The girl is being helped?

"So the mountain lord speaks out. In such a harsh manner to one who he owes a debt. Or have your forgot of the stone I purchased for you. Uninformed?" Hadran laughs

"This man strolls in and demands the girl he couldn't possibly know about unless he was the one keeping her there. He is posturing. I'm sure he has contact with the family but it is probably for some gain. You know so little dwarf. You would had the girl over to this agent of evil and even come to blows against and ally for this. One that helped you get something so precious that you were in search of. The question is why you do not trust me and the good father of Sarenrae to heal the girl, but so easily given in to this dark priest. No you will stand there and watch for I'm sure the dawnflower nor her priest would appreciate such and act in their church."

Not sure where you sudden conviction came from after we agreed on a plan and have help for the girl and you want to give her to the first person that comes along that mysteriously knows of her and has no proof of his station with the family.


"That is absurd." Asmodeus' priest said smoothly. "As it happens, the Greycloaks sent a message to me immediately after their encounter with you, knowing that the Dacilane family is part of my church and that I had a vested interest in helping them. As for Sarenrae, you might be surprised at how willing she is to accept aid from my Lord - or have you forgotten who it was that helped her seal away the Rough Beast?"

There was a firm rapping sound from behind you a moment later - and the priest flinched slightly as the older man of Sarenrae's church finally stood up. Light began shining from his holy symbol a moment later as he held it over Junia's body and began chanting under his breath.


Male Dwarf Mountainlord [ HP: 62/62 | AC: 20 T: 14 FF: 18 | DR 2/- | CMB: +7 CMD: 19 | F: +10 R: +10 W: +11 (+3 vs. poison, spells and spell-like abilities) | Init: +7 Per: +10 | 1st: 1+1, 2nd: 2+1 | Re: 1, SS: 7, Ki: 5 | MP: 4 | Stalwart ]

Asmodean priests don't lie about stuff like this. Mak is straight broke and we're all going to be just as broke if the old man decides that we need to pay him for this. You're pretty much just being obstinate, and there's no reason not to let the Asmodean guy at least talk to the other priest. He would gain exactly nothing for trying to hurt Junia, which means that we'd win either way. Mak is considering the girl's best interests faaaaaar before any stupid posturing or worry about who worships what. The fact that Asmodeus and Sarenrae are actually allies means that there is no reason for us to stand in anybody's way.

Makallun'abad throws his hands up in the air. "Do what you will," he growls, stomping out of the building into the night.

Hadran stares at the man as the moments of delivering the decided blow to Rovagug play through his mind.

"I know too well the part he played. It is not the aid of your lord I fear. It is the corruption of man. You have done little to prove your station to me. It seems the father is healing the girl as we speak."

At least as much as NG and LE can be allies. Be that as it is, Sarenrae lothes Asmodeus, she only allies with him out of necessity and knowing full well that he is stronger then she.

"Who in their right mind would pretend to be a Priest of Asmodeus?" Beseth asks as Hadran accuses the man of being something other then what he claims to be.


"I'm doing it because you won't stop talking!" Sarenrae's priest said as the light of his symbol dimmed once his spell was complete. Junia's body jerked, and she took a deep, shuddering breath. "Nasir, I apologize for their behavior."

"...Think nothing of it." the priest of Asmodeus answered, mouth twitching slightly. "The Dawnflower granted the spell, I see."

"Aye. My lady cares much for children, and she was brought here for help. How long until her mother arrives?"

"About half an hour. I must stay, of course. How is the girl?"

"With food, rest, and her parents by her side, I think she'll recover." the elderly man let out a curt sigh as he tucked his holy symbol back into a pocked for safekeeping. "Now, what exactly is it that happened to put her in this state?"

Hadran breaks his stare with the priest to look to the priest of Sarenrae.

"It seemed her wisdom was drained away by an Allip. We found her resting in a sarcophagus with its lid intact. It would seem maybe there were some still alive after the school collapsed. Either they put the girl there to keep her safe after her will was drained, or there was something down there keeping the girl. We found ghouls which is what I expect came from the other survivors. Thank you and thank Sarenrae for the assistance here. I will leave a donation for the services."


"Were there any other sarcophagi?" the priest asked sharply. "Any sign of anyone else down there?" The apprentices, noting his tone, looked up sharply - for it was clear where his immediate interest was, even as he continued to tend to Junia's body.

"There were other sarcophagi, but it was not the sarcophagus that kept the girl alive, it was this ring." Beseth notes the ring on her fingers, adding "Additionally we were tasked to find the ring, so I am doubtful that there is another keeping any of the others alive. It is also worth noting that there were ghostly figures of the students and teachers, continuing their classes. I expect their souls have not found their eternal rest yet."

Hadran takes a moment to reflect.

I don't think we opened any others.

"I admit we did not remove the lid of any others as we wanted to seek care for the girl as soon as we could. Would you like us to go back an check?"


"So there was a ring... keeping a girl alive... and you took it off of her." the priest looked at Beseth for a few moments, then back down to Junia. "I don't think going back there will be necessary. We'll contact the Society and get them to examine the place - no offense, but the three of you do not look like trained explorers." With that, he started moving around again, checking on the other patients as one of the apprentices watched Junia. You could, of course, wait here until her mother arrived - or simply go your own way, and perhaps talk with Ms. Dacilane - and your employer - tomorrow.

With his arms crossed, Makallun'abad leans against the wall outside of the Sarenraen church. He grumbles to himself in typical dwarven fashion, waiting for Lady Dacilane to arrive.

"We will wait. Thank you."

Hadran takes a seat.

Beseth mutters, "We thought she was dead, she wasn't breathing until the ring came off, and placing the ring back on her wouldn't have kept her any more alive then she was already, at least not for a while, besides we were tasked to find the ring in the first place, so the ring saved her life twice." Then she sighs, moving aside and waiting for the girl's mother to show up.


About twenty minutes passed before the sound of a rapidly-moving carriage could be heard - and an ornate vehicle came to a stop just outside the pavilion. Before it had even come to a safe halt, the door was thrown open and Lady Dacilane darted out, wide-eyed and panicked. "The news- what- what happened!? Where's my Junia!?" she cried.

Without a moment's hesitation, Nasir - the Asmodean priest - put a hand on her shoulder. "Over here, my lady. These, ah... individuals rescued her, and she's alread-" Her elbow caught him on the chin, cutting him off as she pushed through and knelt down by her daughter. He winced a bit, rubbing his chin ruefully.

"Junia, oh Junia! You're so thin... I'd given up so long ago, how did this even happen?" she whispered, clutching her daughter's hand.

With a soft groan, Junia's eyes fluttered open. "Mo... ther...?" she croaked out, her voice so soft it barely even qualified as a whisper. "Where..."

Hadran watches as the two reunite. Offering no words he waits until addressed.

Makallun'abad watches the proceedings from the doorway, having followed the frantic Lady Dacilane inside. His frown slips away as he watches mother and daughter reunite for the first time in ten years.

Though happy to see the child reunited with her mother, Beseth remains quiet.


"Ssh, quiet, mommy's going to make it all better." Lady Dacilane said, stroking her daughter's forehead. "Just rest for now." Junia nodded weakly and closed her eyes again - even a minute of consciousness seemed like a strain for her at this point. The Priest of Sarenrae moved in a moment later, as she turned and regarded the three of you. After a few moments, she took a deep breath, and you could see her forcing some semblance of calm back into her manner and demeanor. "Nasir, they were the ones who rescued Junia and brought her here?"

"I did not see it happen, milady, but that's what I was told." the Asmodean priest said, bowing slightly as she looked at him. She nodded and looked back towards you.

"Words are... quite difficult for me right now." she said, her words almost clipped. "But should you need information on the aristocracy here in Absalom - I believe people in your, ah, business can often find creative uses for such details - please do let me know. I shall be more than happy to offer my advice. Now, I trust there will be no difficulties if I take my daughter home for proper treatment?" she added, looking at the old man.

He, in turn, looked at Nasir, who smiled and spread his hands. "I swear she will be as safe and well-cared for as you could possibly desire." Nasir said smoothly.

"I'll be checking on her." the older priest said warily, and several servants hurried over to bring Junia into the carriage before it set off again with Nasir and Lady Dacilane inside - noticeably slower than it had come. The old man just sighed a bit and shook his head. "Tomorrow's not going to be fun."

"Thank you lady Dacilane. We were happy to find her and see she was still alive. Please take her home to where she can get the love and care she needs."

Hadran approaches Nasir before they depart. He extends a hand.

"Know this Nasir, I am called Hadran. I have nothing against you or your god. I only wanted the girl safe and too be cared for quickly."

As the woman and her daughter pass Makallun'abad, the dwarf nods a greeting to her. Once she's left, he turns to the others. "Now, let us go get some rest. We can deal with the rest in the morning."


Hadran only:
As you speak, you can feel a faint twinge within your godly essence.

Midfoviing's tail curled up a bit as she watched Nasir shake Hadran's hand in a sure, confident grip. The priest was soon gone, though, but she watched warily until the carriage was entirely out of sight. Getting back to your inn would be a little bit of a walk, of course, but easy enough on the whole.

GM:
good twinge or bad? Hadran knows they used Asmodeus help to seal Rovagug, but he would know nothing of his help to cast Hadran down.

"Well that was eventful. Let us get some rest. We can deliver the ring in the morning and give our report."

Hadran heads off to bed.

"That sounds like a good idea, we'll settle things with the ring in the morning." Beseth agrees, finding somewhere to sleep.


Dawn broke early in Absalom - and the three of you were woken by a loud noise from downstairs, as if quite a few people were shouting over each other in an effort to be heard and noticed. Other voices - a bit closer to you - seemed to be opposing them.

What in nine hells is that noise about. I guess its morning.

Hadran gathers his things for the day and heads down to attempt to have breakfast before taking the ring in.

Makallun'abad gets out of bed, straightening his beard as he grumbles about the commotion outside. Soon he is dressed and presentable, and his heavy footfalls on the stairs of the inn seem to echo slightly as he goes to see the source of the loud noises.


A large crowd - perhaps twenty people in the garb of nobility, all of whom had three or four guards each - was mobbing outside the Inn - and the shouts intensified as they saw Mak. Holding them back, however, were the Innkeeper and a few people dressed in the outfits of the district's guards. They seemed to be trying to handle the crowd as gently as possible, but it clearly wasn't easy.
