<blockquote><div><cite>Irthos wrote:</cite>Like the ale tent bystanders before, Sgt. Ananda ignores Padma in favor of examining the wounded archon and her caretaker. Her gaze is anything but subtle, and it's a simple task to follow her attention; first to the prone woman's shattered blade, then to her scarred midsection... and a pointed glance at the glowing sigil on Larynn's brow, accompanied by a look back in Vanika's direction. If she makes the connection, she doesn't voice it; like Padma, she seems reluctant to break the silence surrounding the archon. From her expression, though, it's clear that she's thinking quite hard about something...<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Spellcraft DC 15: Sgt.

Ananda, Dagnyr looks up reflexively, checking to see whom had just stepped in. His momentary raise of guard is immediately relaxed again when he recognizes the sergeant. He's momentarily distracted by her expression, wondering what she could be thinking, perhaps she didn't think the archon genuine...?<br/><br/>Maybe, but still, it seemed far too deep of thought for even that. It seemed much more like concentrating on a task...<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Attempt to determine what Nutrion Sgt.

He'd seen that look before. He'd never asked (and the sergeant had never volunteered an answer), but he knew it was the activation process for one of her nutrions, one he was reasonably certain had some mental effect. He'd never really had time to figure out what<span style="font-style: italic">sort</span>of mental effect, though..<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"Lightbearer," she whispers. "I can feel the queen's power, shining from your heart and soul. Even in this dark place, it is glorious..." The corners of her eyes shimmer with the hint of welling tears.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>The archon's voice brings Dagnyr's attention swiftly back to her, looking a touch sheepish for having gotten distracted from his duty. "Uhm... well, thank you, miss!" he manages, clearly taken off guard by what she had to say. He hadn't expected such praise from an archon, and it left him unsure how to react. Grateful? Proud? Both? He wasn't really sure. Sgt. Ananda's earlier, and short-lived, praise had been one thing, but such from a celestial... that was hard to top. It didn't suddenly shrivel in a moment of rage either, which was definitely a bonus.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"The light is my queen and savior," the archon says. "I would not think to shun her blessings. Please, lightbearer, do as you will." </div></blockquote><br/><br/>"R-right, of course,<span style="font-weight: bold">ahem</span>," Dagnyr says, quickly recovering his composure, rubbing his holy symbol a bit before holding it out towards her with one hand and resting his other gingerly on the scar across her midsection . "Then I ask the light of lights to grant me her aid in restoring one of her faithful servants to health.."<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Dagnyr uses "Lay On Hands" on the wounded Archon, reducing his remaining uses of it to 6 for the day.<br/><br/>Lay On Hands (5d6): Lay On Hands (5d6): 3, 6, 5, 4, 3 = 21</div></div></div><br/><br/>Light and warmth spread out from his palm and the symbol, spreading across the archon's body and working to mend both flesh and bone.
