Her Holiness - 1d50 Spells & 1d50 Liquids

---

While it slithered on the slimy grass, the mud fizzed up around it in fits of fermentation. The scum slug opened a too-wide maw and the cacophony was vomited out.

Three men with faces of stone leered at the thing whilst taken in its thrall. Farlflin, high priest of Her Holiness was first to break the silence.

"Devil, pit-beast, and vile creature that we have summoned, what say you for a name?"

The slug thrashed in its own slimy secretions, then turned an elongated neck so that its bulbous eyes could see the men. Two-score voices once more rode out on thundering hooves from that guttural mouth. 

"CHILDREN OF THE MIDDLING REALMS, YOU SPEAK NOW TO DUKE RANCOR - MAKE YOUR PLEA WITH HASTE."

Before the sentence trailed off into the dead of night, one of the clerics had stumbled four paces away. His stomach contents mingled with the marsh waters, becoming a stew of meat, potatoes, moss scum, and leeches. Farlflin's voice was weaker now.

"Grant us the forbidden knowledge that once dwelled in the river Acheron."

The slug's laughter urged another fit of retching from the collapsed cleric, his throat clogged with screams and stomach bile. 

"HA HA HA HA, GO WEST THREE DAYS, AT NIGHT TURNING TO FOLLOW THE POLE STAR UNTIL DAWN. A TREE GROWS BENEATH THE STAR'S LIGHT. LAY IT LOW, AND ITS PULP WILL CONTAIN THE WORDS YOU SEEK."

ON THE CLERICS AND PALADINS OF HER HOLINESS

It is said that the fraternal clerics of Her Holiness, Queen of All Weather, are among the finest scholars in the realm. Their library nestled in the Palace of Mist is known to hold ancient tomes of great value, though few know the number of books stored there. Those who profess to know the lengths these holy men go to in order to glean such works are equally far and few between. There is another arm of Her Holiness' church, however.

Every individual in Her order of paladins, the Sisters of Cleansing Wind, carry with them two things that might impart clues, however. Firstly, each holy warrior carries with her a spellbook, composed of blessed paper and filled with a few spells and prayers for the holy warriors. These are not unique to the paladin, though there are a great number of varieties. The spells that these books are said to contain are listed below.

Secondly, each paladin carries with her a gemstone vial. It is said that Her Holiness, upon the knighting of a new Sister, sends down from the heavens a shower of gemstones upon the Palace of Mist. Others dispute this and say that the gemstone vials have been passed down from paladin to paladin in a dark ritual. The truth is unlikely to be discovered by those outside of the order. What is known: at midnight, these magical vials transmute any water they contain into another substance.
