Wanda has an hard time unlocking her eyes from the books. Sooner or later, each student has to face his dream: books of untold, and potentially dark and dangerous, knowledge. For many, if not most of them, the dream became a nightmare. She doesn't realise she just spoke out loud, and shake herself out of her daydreaming Professor Lorrimor's words are clear. Those books are dangerous, and should be delivered to the Amethist College, as soon as possible. Unopened and unread. This is his last will, and it shall be honored. Maybe, if his heir's life or honor is threatened by the possession of the books, I would re-consider it.
I hope this is not too much of a strain for you, Milady Lorrimor, if we stay with you for one month. As much as I respect the last wishes of a deceased man, the will of the living is important too. I consider myself bound to the words of your late father, as a servant of Morr, and I will honour them. Two hundred crowns? THat's quite a sum! I wonder how many books I could buy with tha kind of money.
Still rattled by the unforseen and unpleasant incident, it takes a few seconds for Wanda to focus on the ceremony. Fortunately, even when hearing only the end of the solemn eulology and sermon, the young girl is able to deduce the beginning of the prayer. The gust of wind lets her puzzled Whatever happened here is important to Morr, for good or bad I can't say yet. She waits her turn, and speak over the coffin I never had the pleasure to meet physically Professor Lorrimor, and now I'll wait until Morr calls me. He was a kind and patient man, willing to exchange letters on intellectual and academic matters with a young, bookish and unknown student, guiding her more than once, opening new paths for her mind to explore. I am grateful for everything he gave me, and will cherish his name as the name of my own father. If you don't mind, of course, Miss Lorrimor. Wanda nearly blushes at her own words, having spoke with more passion than usual
Money spend on equipment 77 Gp, 65 silver (82 GP 5 silver) 28 Gp 7 silver remaining
I'm new to the town, but I was under the impression that the priests of Morr who accompany us were the ones in charge of the cemetary, the ones who got to decide who was buried where. Unless I am mistaken?
Wanda closed her black robes on her lithe body, to try to keep away the cold. But to no avail, it seems. Despite her average stature, she had a strong metabolism, and was quite resilient, rarely ill. But she easily felt cold. Maybe it was the long hours spent reading near the fireplace at her parents house... Maybe those two months in Estalia in my young years showed me what it meant to be warmed by the sun.. Those were happy months, even if I never managed to find a copy of Streberecius " Misfortunes of the heart" She only had a few hours sleep since arriving in Graustonhain, having insisted to help in the hospital, as a recently appointed servant of Morr. So her tired, pale face and dark-circled eyes made quite an impresssion on the local crowd, scarce as it was. She walked to the trio of acolytes, her head slightly bowed, more by habit than from a display of humility. May I be of assistance, as a servant of Morr, and acquaintance, if not friend, of the deceased?
@Wanda: Glad you like it. :) And I like your explanations for the various advancements How couldn't I like some Monty Python related fun. ;-) and thanks for your kind words. Advancements felt much more logical and organic when put in words

Wanda is nearly ready. She's now an Initiate of Morr, after starting as a Dilletante I need to update her skills, and maybe get some equipment Wanda has always been a smart, nimble fingered girl, with a keen ear for music (+5 to Int, Acute hearing, lighting reflexes), with a passion for books and a never-quenched thirst for unusual knowledges After completing her first career (700 Xp for Characteristics, 200 Xp for Wounds), and widening her array of knowledges (500 Xp for Dilletante skills:Acad Know-Theology, Acad Know-Engineering, Comm know-Border Princes, Comm know-Estalia, Speak Classical), she found a new interest in religion, much to the relief of her family (100 Xp for changing career as Initiate). She surprised everyone, who tought she was a sure bet as a disciple of Verena, when she joined the priesthood of Moor. Her parents were mostly succesful traders, but sometimes their trade wasn't totally legal, so maybe there's that... She has yet to display the forceful personality of a priest of the god of the dead (No Intimidate skill yet), but she first wanted to sharpen her mental skills (+10 total bonus to Int/Will/Fell, 300 Xp),and was happy to put everything she learnt in books about medicine in practise (Heal skill, 100 xp). Her shy charm blossomed slowly but surely (Suave talent) Xp recap
2000 XP total
Wesneday should be good for me
