In the middle of the street, there is a woman who could be mistaken for an elf by her eyes and ears, if it weren't for her feet, nose, and bigass wings. She is purchasing food from a street vendor, which the vendor would probably object to more if it weren't for the fact that Liushna is still deeply inexperienced with money and doesn't realize that a silver coin is overpaying.
"Do you know anyone here, do you have a place to stay? A lot of the temples are being turned over to new gods; if there's one you favor you could seek a room there."
"Halflling delegate rent house for other halfling delegates. Let me on roof because also not human."
"It means I'm a cleric of Iomedae. Different gods' clerics have different titles. Chosen is the generic if you don't know the one for the particular god, or know that someone is a cleric but not of whom."
"Itarii not worship gods, but spend lots time outside in the world, so have clerics of Gozreh anyway."
"Shalyeen cast from cunning and have small animal friend and--not know word again--magic thing, not spell, can do many many times in day."
"Yes. Wizards get that one and clerics don't." Blai can hang, and catch, Prestidigitation, but he can barely get mud off his boots or disguise the hideous oversaltiness of ration pork with it. What he can do with it is make chess pieces. He practices that a lot.
"Thing-don't-know-Chelish-word other thing not spell. And Shalyene not do clean spell," she sighs. "Sorcerer get sometimes, more word I don't know Imazi get sometimes, Shalyene not get."
"I don't know a kind of caster that casts from cunning, isn't some kind of sorcerer, and doesn't get Prestidigitation. But there are lots of things I don't know and someone might have the word for it. I wonder if there's a Nethysian temple now..."
"Maybe. If you really wanted to find out I'd recommend looking for a temple of Nethys. He's the god of magic in general."
"I guess if there is one, it would be one of the old Asmodean temples that isn't on anyone's circuit to create water for, but without a map that doesn't help very much."
