Mechanus Trip

[Anastasia]

I shall. Sometimes a glimpse of light is what is needed, once pride is broken down and sorrow is all that remains.

[Ebiris]

And sorrows Zariel has to spare. Thank you, Antenora.

[Anastasia]

I will see to her. I know not what her future holds, but it is brighter than it was before this.

[Ebiris]

I don't really need to reply to that, so yeah best wishes to Zariel at the cauldron!

[Anastasia]

Anything else you're doing right away?

[Ebiris]

No, things are kinda quiet right now. Just doing goddess things, looking after Sylica and all that!

[Anastasia]

Gimme a d100.

[Anastasia]

It's not long until you sense it. A small roadside shrine of yours, a traveler's shrine made by one of your faithful in Malmuth. On a quiet, dusty path. You feel her presence - the presence of Shar, through a worshiper of Shar. An offensive presence, a dreadful thing that rattles in the back of your teeth and the center of your stomach.

[Ebiris]

Well that's unpleasant. Alicia devotes her full attention to monitoring what's happening there, and gives Marie a mental prod in case it's something that requires the attention of her proxy.

She can let some petty vandalism or the like go by with just telling her worshippers in the region to look out for the culprit, but if it's something more sinister she'll respond forcefully.

[Anastasia]

The shrine itself is a little statue of you, perhaps two feet tall. It's crude but done lovingly, a few offerings of flowers and food before it from previous passerbys. The man before it is a slightly plump merchant, wearing fine if worn clothes. He gets off a horse and eyes the shrine, a rather wicked smile as he takes out the unholy symbol of Shar, closing his eyes and beginning to pray.

You can tell the spell he's casting - desecrate.

[Ebiris]

That's distressing, but it's not really worth sending a proxy or avatar over. Besides if it's a concerted campaign to overextend her and lure one of those into an ambush, Shar has a lot more to throw around than she does.

Intending to nudge one of her priests in this direction to fix things up later, she settles for cursing the Sharran priest.

Alter reality to hit him with a custom bestow curse that makes it impossible for him to tell lies. Assuming it works off the same DC as limited wish then it's either DC 31 will using my normal casting DCs, or DC 43 will using the DC set for my divine SLAs.

Do you want the curse to be obvious at all or come with any sign, or simply be subtle?

[Ebiris]

Subtle, he can figure it out for himself.

[Anastasia]

Done and done.

An eye for an eye, Alicia?
