I also see why a servant of Lady Luck would roll the dice on getting a band of strangers to take on such a task, rather than do it herself. I’m not sure of these others with me but I’m willing to gamble with my life only if the odds are favourable. Why would Agatha the banshee be willing to answer a question about this spell book, rather than simply wailing and sending my soul to join Twin’s?  Surely you must have a reason for believing that she’d be interested in conversation. Is there a particular flower that might distract her from her undeath long enough to convince her to talk?  A verse we need to recite or a ritual we need to perform?  I will go speak with her, if the chances of me returning are high enough.”<br/><br/>A banshee….  A spirit who’s wail could kill. There had to be something they could do to get the thing to listen to them, rather attack. If worse came to worse and she did attack, Rat had no illusions that the power of Helm would allow him to prevail against a banshee. His sword would pass through her like any other patch of air, although the radiant power of Helm might serve to injure her. To deal with a thing of evil like a banshee did not sit well with him but if it was something he price of Twin’s revival….<br/><br/>Perhaps she too would have an errand for them to complete before she would answer their question, if she would even speak to them at all.<br/><br/>“Anybody know anything about banshees in general and Agatha in particular?  All I know is that they scream and people die.”<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Party loot</div><div class="spoiler_body">treasure chest containing:<br/>PARTY FUND<br/>75 cp, 20 cp, 37 gp<br/>  3 gold teeth (1gp each)<br/><br/>Two potions of healing<br/>A jade statuette of a frog with tiny golden orbs for eyes (valued at 40gp). - in Amelia's pocket<br/></div></div>
