A Tymoran's Commune

[MadSeer]

The upstairs hallway of the Friendly Arms Inn had an unusual scent that night. The subtle odour of burning incense filled the air. Aegle, priest of Tymora, kneeling on top of the rug at the center of his room, was looming over a bowl of holy water. There was a bundle of incense sticks burning on the nearby desk. His hands were close to his chest, fingers crossed except for both index, held straight against one another.

Our Lady who Smiles,
I ask for your counsel,
Seven coins roam this Coast,
Coins of luck or misery,
I need you to enlighten me,
A copper to the Lady returns tenfold in gold.

The Aasimar grabbed the holy symbol, a coin with a smiling woman surrounded by shamrocks, hanging by the chain around his neck and gently placed it at the bottom of the bowl, submerging it in holy water. The Commune spell was cast, now he had to ask his questions.

First:
“Seven coins, have they your blessing ?”

Should the answer be positive, he would follow up with:
“Should I bring them together ?”

Should the first answer be negative, he would ask:
“Are they of Lady Doom ?”

If no answer had been delivered, he would sit still for a moment longer before sighing softly, gathering the ritual’s materials and extinguishing the incense before heading back to the main floor.

It is possible that, in recent days, the Priest of Tymora would have noticed a single man in more-or-less adventurers garb, alone or with company—others too attired in typical adventurer cloth—in the main hall of the Friendly Arm.

He may also have noticed this single man speaking to a Coin, something that could be seen as out-of-place behavior...for the sane, one may think.

An easy observation of this young adventurer, would communicate that he gave a certain personal care to the Coin he interacted with—or that interacted with him—but additionally, the Coin would seem to cause equal emotional burden, something seen in the young adventurer's countenance.

It would seem, with these signs, that such a Coin of specialty, brought equal measure of both luck and misery, to this man.
