Temple Services

Welcome, guildmates. The first time most of you read this is when you've just returned home from a quest that didn't go entirely to plan, and resulted in you losing a dear friend and comrade, or having one rendered crippled by ailments beyond your ability to cure.

So first things first - my sincere condolences. I've lost friends of my own. It's never an easy pain to endure.

  • Breac Sunfist

  • Most temple services that involve the reversal of death involve diamonds. As Little Warriors, it is expected that you respect the cost of even the simplest of restoration or ressurection spells, and what that kind of wealth represents to the common folk of this world. You are therefore expected to cover these costs yourselves.


     

    As always, quest treasures, spoils of war and the like are yours by right. Your donations are appreciated, but not mandatory.


    Spell casting availability

    The High Cleric is the highest ranking guild cleric (left standing). They are a level 17 spellcaster, but given the guild's precarious state they are often abroad in the field on critical assignment. Therefore you can rely on their availability for only one day each week. This is enough to:

      • Cast up to 12 level 3 spells (Remove Curse, Dispel Magic)
      • Cast up to 6 level 5 spells (Raise Dead, Dispel Evil and Good, Greater Restoration)
    • Cast Resurrection once per week.

     

    Lady Wintergreen is available for high-level Druid spellcasting only at her discretion, as her efforts are focused on protecting the World Tree. Other guild members are free to offer their spellslots and downtime to assist the High Cleric.


    Return only of the willing

    A spirit can only be returned to a body through use of the spells offered by the guild if it is willing to return.

    Use of other spells to return a spirit against its will is an act of great evil. While agents of the Guild are given great leeway in determining how they achieve their objectives, use of such unrestricted necromancy within the bounds of the Guild Hall is strictly prohibited except in immediete defence of the hall itself. Agents are warned that most civilised nations of Elanora also prohibit use of necromancy in this way. Even in the Empire of Eal, it is permitted only under strictly controlled circumstances, for reasons severe such as the rescue or preservation of the living, and only on a temporary basis.

    Resurrection Sickness

    Resurrection takes its toll on both healer and patient. The week after a guild agent is resurrected, they take Resurrection Sickness and suffer three points of exhaustion. This cannot be cured by anything except time.

    This penalty persists for the first week the character plays at a quest session in the Little Warriors Adventurers Guild. It then reduces to 1 point, and the week after that the character is back to normal. While waiting for the character to rest, you are free to play a backup character without penalty.

    The High Cleric, or any other caster who casts Resurrection, cannot complete other downtime activities on the same week as they cast this spell, although they are free to quest and take standard actions to prepare for their next quest (such as travelling, shopping, etc).

    Reincarnation

     

    Reincarnation is a Druid-only resurrection spell castable by any Druid of 9th level or above. It requires only a single body part of the character to have survived, but it requires 1000 gold worth of rare oils.


     
    Temple Services Costs

    The below costs are based on traditional price of 200 gold pieces per carat of diamond. Actual prices in Elanora markets may vary wildly, and are only likely to inflate if we begin buying these gems in bulk from local markets.

    Name Cost (diamonds) Castable by Limitations
    Resurrection spells and reversal of the condition of Death
    Revivify1.5 carat (300g)Many classesMissing body parts not restored. Target must have been dead no longer than 1 minute.
    Raise Dead2.5 carat (500g)Lvl 9 Cleric or BardMissing body parts not restored. Target must have been dead no longer than 10 days.
    Resurrection5 carat (1000g)Lvl 13 Cleric or BardMust be some part of the body left to touch. Target must have been dead no longer than 100 years. The High Cleric can cast this once per week only. While this spell does regrow lost limbs and body parts, it has been demonstrated to fail if the head is severed and kept intact, but apart from an otherwise intact body.
    Reincarnation1000g of rare oilsLvl 9 DruidRerolls the target's race. Target must have been dead no longer than 10 days. Requires rare oils, not diamonds. Requires only a piece of the body.
