Editing Navero Ep1 (section)

===NAVERO HEALS THE SICK===

Navero would often go out into any town we stayed in at night, to
heal the sick and comfort the dying and otherwise waste spell points on the
NPC's.  One particular town we stopped in was a real rough sea coast town,
where we had already been attacked several times; Kortul had also killed a
young nobleman who insulted him, and we weren't sure when the body would be
discovered.

'''Navero''': ''(To assembled group.)'' "I'm going out for a while.  I'll see you in
the morning."  ''(leaves.)''

'''Topash''': "Should we let him go out alone?"

'''Dania''': "Right.  I'll follow him and make sure he's alright." ''(leaves.)''

'''Topash''': "I'd better go as well." ''(leaves.)''

'''Serga''': "He's my friend!  I better go." ''(leaves.)''

'''Kortul''': "Hmmm..."  ''(leaves.)''

And so, Navero went walking down the rough avenues of the town, with
the rest of the party trailing behind him single file to make sure he didn't
get hurt.  Sure enough, he was soon accosted by three rakish young gentleman.

'''Rake 1''': "Well, hello!  A man of the cloth!  Or is it a choir boy?"

'''Rake 2''': "So hard to tell.  Shall we have him sing, then?"

'''Navero''': "Greetings, sirs!  I am acolyte Navero of the Correct and Unalterable
Way, here to spread the devotion and aid those in need.  I come in
all humility to your fair town to honestly help as my faith allows.
Who might you be, gentlemen?"

'''Rake 1''': "We ''might'' be just about anyone, might we?  But we are, I suppose,
in some need of, ah... curative magic?"

'''Rake 3''': "I do think so.  Will you come drink with us, boy?"

'''Navero''': "Certainly!  I have some water right here!"

'''Dania''': ''(Walks up)'' "Sure, we'll come with you!  Right, Nav?"

'''Rake 3''': "Oh, I see you are quite devoted to your charges, dear cleric.  Is
this your little girl, then?"

'''Rake 1''': "Little girl?  Are you blind?  Do not her outstanding characters and
virtues leap out to the eye?  I would hardly call this one little,
my good friend."

'''Rake 3''': "Oh, I must apologize, dear... lady."

'''Dania''': "Right."

'''Navero''': "Doesn't anyone want any water?"

'''Rake 2''': "Well, there is one thing.  The girl."

'''Rake 1''': "Ah, yes.  Oh, gentle priest, we have a great need of you.  A woman,
in our acquaintance, is ill with some... chemical imbalance, and
suffers o most mightily.  We have tried to ''comfort'' her in her hour
of ''great'' need, but alas, I fear she needs you."

'''Rake 3''': "Oh, she needs you o so very much."

'''Navero''': "Where is she?"

'''Rake 1''': "She awaits upstairs at this inn.  Go to her, mighty priest.  Let 
your holy staff do its work."

'''Navero''': "I will.  It was good of you to tell me.  Thank you."

''(Upstairs at the inn, one door is ajar.  Inside, in a dimly lit room, a woman lies on a bed.  She is nude, and breathing very heavily, thrashing about on the bed like a wild animal.)''

'''Navero''': ''(looks in)'' "Hello?"

'''Woman''': "Uhhhhhrrrr..." ''(Looks to door, eyes Navero hungrily.)''

'''Dania''': "Looks serious, Nav.  Think you can handle it?"

'''Navero''': "I'm afraid I must.  There are no others here who can."

'''Woman''': "I feel hot whats happening uhrrrRRR...."
''(Starts clawing Navero's garments.)''

'''Dania''': "That's for sure.  Good luck, Nav."

'''Navero''': ''(Uses staff of curing to cure poison.)''

'''Woman''': "Uh... what?!  AHH!!  Get out!"  ''(Slams door)''

''(Navero goes back downstairs, Dania laughing to herself behind.  In the inn common room, one of the rakes greeted them.)''

'''Rake 2''': "Uh...  I'm sorry.  Jeofri gave her something, he said it'd be fun, and we, uh, took her up, and, uh..."

'''Navero''': "Uh, I think I see.  It was a very bad thing you did."

'''Rake 2''': "Yes, holy father."

'''Navero''': "Uh...  don't do anything like it again." ''(leaves.)''

''(Outside...)''

'''Navero''': "Hey, he called me holy father!  Can he do that?"

'''Dania''': "Why not?  Sure, he's older than you, but you're the cleric.  You
just hit 8th level, remember?"

'''Navero''': "Wow..."
