"Thank you for staying with me," she said sincerely, bowing her head to the halfling in gratitude. "And all of you, thank you. We were right not to travel alone." She approached Thea and gave her friend a hug. "You are a warrior in Sarenrae's service, and that is all that matters," she assured her. "The details of your relationship with Sarenrae are not for anyone else to question, but your devotion is clear." She strolled over to where Kye was securing the bandit leader and binding her wounds, and stroked her head tenderly. "You did well, pet," she said quietly.<br/><br/>Curra was able to scrounge among the packs of the leader, the two fallen bandits, and one or two others that had been left nearby before the ambush began. Rope was to be found in plentiful supply, as well as food and other essentials of travel, but her search also uncovered something more: treasure. Each pack contained one or two valuable items: plates, goblets, pendants, thuribles and aspergilla, all gold-plated and adorned with the iconography of Sarenrae.<br/><br/>Mother Rosa took in a sharp breath and went to inspect the findings, trembling with fury. She stalked back to stand over the bandit leader. "Wake her up," she demanded coldly. "Find out how they came to possess these treasures from the Sisterhood. If they harmed a single sister..." Her voice trailed off, anger mixing with fear in her voice.
