"Well, my position as a Maiden of Pain refers to my special abilities, not unique, but less than common. There are many paths to take as a priestess, and the one Loviatar chose for me... you are aware that many spells can only be cast through physical contact, requiring you to place your hand on the subject? Like the basic healing and harming spells, for instance. But as a Maiden, the whip is really an extension of my own body. I can channel the spells through the lash, and yes, this means if I so choose, I can whip restorative spells into people's hides... it's particularly enjoyable.<br/><br/>But it is merely another path one can take, no more or less special than being a dedicated priestess who follows the literature and lore, or to be a Scourge Maiden, one who is not as great a spell caster but more able to cripple people with pain and better at martial combat. As I said, there are many paths. Pain Devira still outranks me - and is more experienced in the world and in casting spells."<br/><br/>I help myself to about a week's worth of Agony from the supplies - I'm going to need to use my own spellcasting ability to provide myself with more after that, but that's part of the whole point. Not just the taking of the drug, but the extraction of it. That said, I smile at Lelika.<br/><br/>"It suits you well. I'll see what we can purchase out there, though I make no guarantees of what we'll find. And once we're ready to leave, I'll heal your cane welts away."<br/><br/>All in all, shopping turned out rather successful. Although such boots were a little too expensive, we still found a few things that could be of great help - gloves to improve her accuracy and reaction time, a necklace to make her more resistant to harm, an emergency wand, and a variety of arrows for her shortbow, with a variety of abilities.<br/><br/>Only when all of that is done do I place my hands on her leather-clad bottom, closing my eyes and offering a prayer up to Loviatar to cast<em>Cure Minor Wounds</em>.<br/><br/>"Mistress Loviatar, Lady of Pain, please refresh your servant's bottom so that she is ready for more pain."<br/><br/>(Gloves of Dexterity +2 (400 PP), Amulet of Health +2 (400 PP), Wand of CLW (75 PP), 40 Swiftwing Arrows (4 PP), 20 Star Arrows (1 PP), 40 Dragonbreath Arrows (10 PP), leaving 110 PP for sundries)
