This shallow valley in the foothills of a broad mountain range is usually unoccupied aside from the occasional shepherd and flock. Today, though, it's bustling: much of the space is taken up by a hastily erected tent city, mismatched canvas scrounged from wherever it could be found, with cookfires clustered in the rockiest section and a field hospital laid out near the small lake at the bottom of the valley, all in use by an especially heterogenous and ragged collection of humanoids. Near the hospital, a bit of space has been left free for various purposes, including the music performance it's currently being used for, which has drawn an audience of children and their parents.
It doesn't feel not-idiomatic.
"All right, inn next. Are there any amenities you want? Probably breakfast isn't worth it, I'm on an earlier devotion schedule than you are, I'll pick something up while I'm waiting for you."
"Baths and a room safe would be the obvious ones you might be interested in. Maybe a desk if you're expecting to be awake for a while."
"I don't think there's one in this part of the city with an overnight cleaning service but I can prepare Cleaning in the morning, the refugees will appreciate it too. That's a less common orison, it's similar to Prestidigitation's cleaning but only once in a larger volume and a little more thoroughly."
"That would definitely be useful, among other things it's handy for infected wounds."
"Really! We don't have anything that's really good for infected wounds - are you saying Prestidigitation would be too, used by someone who can clean with it -"
"Yep! Not as good, the orison is more thorough and it matters, but I've had wizards use it after emergencies and it absolutely helps."
Well, then, Blai knows what he's doing with his spare time as soon as the chess books are copied. (The very idea that he would never have anything more important to do than attending emotions classes, really.) "So I'm preparing a Make Whole and attempting to see if I can get Cleaning and Cure Minor Wounds, anything else I should attempt?"
"Let me think... really very few of the uncommon spells are orisons... Kat gets one for easing pain that I think might be an orison but it seems like a longshot and not very useful compared to your others."
"I'll bear it in mind if it turns out I can get Oerth orisons at all. Is it deity-specific?"
"The Abadarans get a first circle truth spell with the useful property that if you throw it off it's visible that you did so. I don't think Iomedae has any unique spells, though."
"I don't think any of the major gods have unique spells here. Which is a little odd, now that you mention it."
"Well, the minor gods do, sometimes, and it's not clear why that would be a difference between them."
"I'm not privy to how it's done on Golarion. I suspect it's expensive for the god or Iomedae would have something. But that probably isn't the explanation here."
"It could be, they aren't infinitely powerful. Though in that case it still wouldn't make very much sense for it to only be the smaller gods."
"If they are limited in power per se and not in intervention budget they might have said something."
"I suppose it's not necessarily important. I just - remember thinking it explained a lot, when I learned that the gods are rationing, and it is different here but not by quite the magnitude I might have guessed."
"Rationing isn't exactly the word I'd use but they do have limits, yeah. That's why they have the policies we were talking about over dinner; they oppose things that make them weaker."
