Re: In-Character Thread: Rose Harbor
Cassandra didn't consider herself a priestess, like Lil did, instead looking at religious magic as just another form of mystical study. So while she might more closely identify with the nature goddess or the elemental spirits theologically, it was easier for her to poke around the religious teachings of all the gods, even the more unsavory ones, to get hints about fighting possible undead.
It was actually in the small temple/ games hall of Ronsi, goddess of children and games, that she met a giggly priestess who, after teaching the friendly woman a new card game, gave Cassandra a specially made and blessed safe covered holy symbol, which, when set aflame, would give a boost to religious rituals to ward off ghosts.
Cassandra thanked the priestess, who was eager to teach the card game to her fellow clergy, and continued her research.
Her search through the sparse arcane resources in the town, usually her specialty, were less helpful. Dozens of contradictory, or even laughably wrong, theories and words of advice made her wary of trusting anyone. She took a few trinkets and geejaws, but, honestly, wasn't entirely positive it would actually help, and wasn't entirely sure it all the various things wouldn't make things worse.
Still, she was to much of a packrat to leave anything behind.
With some trepidation, but at least a plan, she rejoined her pirate friend.
OOC: I totally understand that ruling and i don't disagree with you. i had a burnable holy symbol to represent the one time bonus, if that's okay and if you'd like you can rule that one out more of the "good luck charms" that the arcane sages recommended might have a negative effect, like actually attracting evil or making Cassandra smell delicious to the dead, or something.
"I'm a ready a I'm going to be. Perhaps too ready, but we'll figure it out "
Lil knew her academic friend was off anything, prone to overpreparing, whereas the pirate priestess was more of the impulsive type
Mounting her horse, she joined Lil in heading out of town
