How would you do "An invocation to the Lady of Graves"?


Mummy's Mask


Right at the start of the campaign there should be a speech, of which the latter half is given.

I'm trying to find out what an invocation to the lady of graves would entail, is it like a hand over the chest in a spiral as mentioned in inner sea gods?

For that matter, has anyone else written up a nice introductory speech that I could use?

Scarab Sages

OH I wish I had saved my chat log from session 1.

An invocation in this instance would be like the prayer prior to an event (which is also known as an invocation). Praying at the start of graduation, congressional blessings, etc.

The basics I went with had to do with asking Pharasma to forgive the blasphemies that the state sanctioned looters were about to commit. To give lenience in the afterlife to those who followed the law, but to doom the souls of those who went beyond their sanctioned permissions. To the safety of the explorers and reminding everyone that they are entering a site sacred to the Lady of the Graves herself.

Sebti is very reluctant to go forward with the lottery, and the government is essentially forcing her hand to open one of the most sacred sites to Pharasma on Golarion to wanton looters. I let the disapproval pour through into her opening prayer and her attitude right through to the middle of book 2 when the whole 'different methods' event occurs.

O Lady of Graves we humbly call out to you,
To safely usher the departed into your presence
In the halls of judgment upon the spire.
Guide them safely past all hags and daemons
And with your implacable wisdom
See that they receive their just rewards.
You see all that must be
You watch over the cycle of birth and death
Watch, then, over us all
So that we may find and accept our true destiny.


Maybe find some Judeo-Christian prayers for the departed and switch the word "God" with Pharasma, while also making some other alterations?
