Elspeth:

Upon hearing that her services were needed, Elspeth left her temple in Elcadan and traveled with Jallarzi to Karn's Keep. The priestess had been her before, so its huge size isn't so shocking any more.

"Hi Elspeth!" she says, turning to the Azrellan Priestess. "That is a beautiful new ...

Elspeth:

Much to her surprise, Elspeth is here! Ivy makes her way over and hugs her best friend and will speak to her, all the while keeping her eyes open.

“Elspeth! It is so good to see you again. What brings you here?”

Elspeth happily returns Ivy’s greeting.

“Jallarzi asked me to come ...

Elspeth:

Gathering the strength of the others as Mother Azrella directed her to do, Elspeth turns it loose on the darkness. To her amazement, the darkness resists as if it were a living thing! It strikes back and fills her mind with strange visions.


In Elspeth's mind's eye, the image of the ...

Elspeth:

"Elspeth, is there any reason why some of us should remain out of the circle in case something unexpected should happen or is it more advantageous in this case to have as many of us joined as possible?"

"None that I can think of Kharyna of Mystra. You can always add your will to ours ...

Elspeth:

With the excitement winding down and those in need of healing being tended to, Elspeth turns her attention back to her reason for being here. The foul looking shrine stands before her as if waiting.

In the background, Ivy lays waste to the last few remaining undead. She always was ...

Elspeth:

Seeing that only one zombie remains in sight and that Grondar is going after it, Elspeth will put her mace back in her belt. She moves away from the battle against the giant swamp creature. Reaching Gwenith, Elspeth will assist in moving the swordswoman to a place of safety where she can ...

Elspeth:

Laucian, Kylie and Arocken have fallen prey to a Hold Person cast by one of the enemy priests. Elspeth pushes forward to their aid. The young Azrellian casts Remove Paralysis on the three. The attempt is successful and all three can move once more.

"Azrella be praise!", Elspeth will cry ...

Elspeth:

A fierce look of determination comes over Elspeth's usually pleasant features as she destroys the undead in the swamp waters. From the looks of it, only two of the foul things remain as they begin to rise up out of the swampy waters.

Suddenly, something else rises up with them. It is ...

Elspeth:

The Gentle Healer feels the same oppression caused by the swamp as everyone else tries to shake it off.

"Do not give in to fear, my friends. I am confident that we shall be victorious and that evil shall be driven from this place for all time!"

When Ivy reveals that undead are near and ...

Elspeth:


"Of course, Elspeth. I will always be there when you need me."

"Whatever you need from me you may have," Acerion will say. "I will not falter in my defense of you so that you may bestow your miracle. No others must be allowed to suffer such a cruel imprisonment as the foul water has ...

Elspeth:

"I know that it will seem a small matter to you, but I believe it will prove to be a notable boon for my people. Thus, I owe you and Ivy a debt of gratitude, and I always pay my debts."

"You owe me no debt, Grondar. But if you feel you must, then continue to help those in need. That ...

Elspeth:

Acerion's look turns somber, "What is it you have seen? I have heard of many 'ultimate' evils, but it is apparent the vision has shaken you so even without your speaking of its effect upon you. Can you reveal this?"

This bit of information gets Validar's attention and he moves closer ...

Elspeth:

The gentle priestess will follow Ivy along as she meets new people. She'll greet Grondar when introduced.

"A pleasure to meet you, Grondar of Berronar Truesilver. Ivy spoke of you during your short stay in Elcadan."

Upon seeing Elspeth, he will kiss her hand in greeting and smile at ...

Elspeth:

"My thanks, kind lady," Grondar replies. "I fear that is as good as can be hoped for in these unfortunate times. I will provide you with a letter to my order before we leave town. Might you be able to get a message to Illefarn, as well?"

"I don't see much of a problem in that, friend ...

Elspeth:

Elspeth is delighted when her friend Ivy is spotted in the temple. The two grew up together in the orphanage and were as close as sisters. Much to her surprise, Ivy is not alone. Lord Validar and Lord Corley are known to Elspeth, but the others are not.

"Welcome home, Ivy. I see that ...

Elspeth:

"Thank you for your assistance with my father, Elspeth of Azrella. He looks ready to take on a horde of Gnolls himself, even now."

"He is a strong willed man", Elspeth will state with a smile. "I am pleased that I was able to help in this matter. If you will excuse me, I will let you ...

Elspeth:

Elspeth looks up from her prayer book as the door to the baron's bedchamber opens. A pleased look comes to her young face as she sees Sherwood and Lord Validar enter. They must have completed their mission down in Twin Forks and have returned. Excusing herself, Elspeth rises from her ...
