The First Sacrifice (OOC)

I didn't even bother asking you if you were OK with that (as I usually would), I just assumed you would be into it. :)

Hmmm.

I was thinking more like a true believer, not a real priest. But now that you (or I) suggested it....

I figured as much, which is why I did not put much detail into the other options.
That is what I meant as well. You won't have the training Albert has, you won't know the lore or the law.

You won't be able to do priestly things like Cure and Turn (yet?), but you will be able to petition your god for help, and such things may happen. This first time demonstration is a special case, with better than normal healing attached to it (to get people hooked?:).

You can work towards becoming a 'real priest' (whatever that means in this context, and if Raynor cares(*)) as we play. Albert can train you, on- or off-screen, in as much visible detail as we want. You can (maybe) take the Abilities later, but I wuoldn't hold my breath with the rate we are leveling at. :)

(* It seems likely that Raynor gets lots of new devotants right before a big battle, many quickly perish and join Raynor soon after.)

O my...


On a 10+ Raynor welcomes you into the fold and grants you a boon. (Daryl is fully healed and rearing to go conquer, with a fair idea of where is enemies are).
On a 12+ the same as above, but even better. You can ask for another boon at some point in the near future.

I'll give the others some time to come and witness this moment :)

Oh my, indeed!

Though I am almost tempted to dock a few point for:
:)
Do you want to describe what they see?

We know Daryl is fully healed, but how does he react? What does it feel like when you heal someone? For Roald as well as for the patient.

didn't know the dice - explanation was an in-game thing.
i'll describe the scene, but thought it would be cooler if they would arrive at the moment of the prayer.

I see what you did here
What's that las... uhm girl?

Nah, just kidding.
By all means wait for that reaction, then they can have another reaction to the result. Let me know when you want me to take over.

That's a nice roll!

It felt a bit like scene from a movie :)

Norbert has a very positive image from both men and the small laps yeasterday evening did not alter that. Others might have looked diferrently at the situation but Norbert is still a naïve young boy.

I won't be online this saturday and sunday. I will be active again on monday.

Starting to post for Olden. He isn't from the valley but used to run a sort of an inn not too far away on what was previously a popular route. Not sure Albert and Roald would've had any chance of meeting the old man. Norbert *might* have heard of him and some caravan guards might well have run into him. I'm starting with the assumption that he's not met any of them before. Then again, he's an *old* man with an appropriately dodgy memory. Happy to roll with whatever you all like in terms of prior acquaintance.

Got to disappear for an hour or two for work but will check back after.

They are also Fresh Faced Adventurers, and have never been this far from their home before, this area is all new to them. They will not have met Olden. But Albert did run an inn outside the big town a few days journey from here, so he may have heard about Olden and his place from travellers who passed through, likewise, Olden may have heard of Albert's place (did we ever get a name for it?) in the same way.

Such things are completely normal, we all have lives. :)

What is this for? Everyone has just been healed up and refreshed [ref], so they don't need medicine right now. But possibly Olden does not realise that --I am not even sure they do, yet-- so nothing wrong with offering medicine based on how they were a moment ago and then realising that that time has passed.

Daryl was held captive and weakened by that, his friends have been captive for even longer, so he would probably welcome a healer with medicine to come help them when you free them. So presenting your credentials may help you get roped into the party?

Olden can, clearly, see the healthy glow radiating from everyone in the party. His arms, however, haven't quite twigged onto the fact that his modest herbs aren't needed at this point.

Equally so, he's just witnessed what he'd consider an utterly beautiful sight and he'd like to stick around in the hopes of seeing more. The herbs and his lore are, essentially, his sales pitch.

Re-reading your post, that's basically what you've written in your second para, only, you've phrased it much better than I have :)

I get that. I'm reading along, but have hardly any time to respond today. :(

Who is still in play elsewhere, please? Are Theo and Phil still in the picture somewhere? Olaf and Olga safe at their place?

And, generally speaking, convincing other PCs about something calls for a Persuasion roll of some sort?

NPC wise, Limpy and Daryl are with the party.

Theo and Phil are being held captive with the people Daryl just escaped from, the party is on its way to rescue them as we speak. It is assumed that the mayor's daughter is also there, but Daryl did not see her.

The PCs sent people to go find Olaf and his brother Christian, and ask them to come help you, but they are on the other side of the valley and Olaf indicated that he does not come over this side and is not popular here. They are currently 'safe', so far as the party knows.
There is no mechanism for convincing PCs with rolls, you --the player-- have to convince the players first and that is not a 'games rules' thing (it is a meta-game thing, technically, but that definition is muddied and sullied). Once the players agree, you can play out the in-game interactions to convince the Player's Characters if needed, if all the players involved want to introduce some randomness we can work out a roll, but that is not common for PCs.

Convincing an NPC could be some sort of roll, but 'persuade' is not a thing, you have to do it in the fiction first, and then we will decide if a roll is called for and what Attribute that is done with, this is often +CHA, but could also be +INT if you are relying on 'reasoned arguments with rational people' or +STR if you are threatening dominance, and so on.

What, if anything, are you actually trying to do?
