Trade Way Penitent Day 12:
Adventurers gathered for a contract job posed by the Flaming Fist. The report claimed that trolls had attacked the pastures near Baldur's Gate, and many farmers had suffered. At the gathering point, I noticed a follower of Auril and tried to convince the group to distance themselves from servants of evil and undertake the quest in a disciplined fashion. Failing in this, I withdrew my participation, knowing the reward coin would support an evil church.
Instead, I undertook my own task later. Joining with a Kelemvorite ally, I gathered a small group ready to perform final rites for the victims of the attack.
We gathered the bodies into a pyre and used alchemist's fire to stoke the flames. An error was made - I used too many vials. The fire began to spread quickly. I was surprised, as the ground seemed already burned from the earlier battle with the trolls, but perhaps I simply overused the alchemical fire.
The flames spread rapidly, and initial attempts to quench them failed. I teleported to the Friendly Arm Inn to gather help and arm myself with proper scrolls. I later returned with a mage and a follower of Tiamat. There was no coin to be gained, and any fame for such aid would be well earned, so I chose not to discriminate in the urgency. Using Silver Dragon Breath, together with a water elemental and blasts of cold energy from allies, we eventually quenched the fire, which had engulfed both human and animal corpses.
With the crisis ended, we returned to the Gate.
I shall not doubt my god while carrying Her standard
I shall not fear my god when She remains silent
I shall not mistake the whispers of the depths for Her holy voice
I shall heed when She calls to me
