"What all have you got -"

"I don't know. Pendant said to use cure serious wounds, so I probably have some that are lower than that."

"It'd be good if you could create food and water and it'd also tell us what level you are. But it's not that important. Neither Fy nor I will die without more healing."

"I'd rather you weren't hurt. But I guess I don't know how I go about getting spells back. I can try making food and water when I know where we're spending the rest of the night."

He looks out at the forest. He looks very miserable. 

"Well, we can put together a bit of shelter over there, I guess."

"Yeah.

"Clerics have Sending, right? So - maybe we can contact Elizabeth."

"Yeah. Fourth level spell. That's a good idea."

"Sending."

     I'm afraid you can't cast that right now. You'll have to prepare it by communing with your goddess for one hour. Unfortunately, my usual connection to her has been severed, but a piece of her essence lives in me, and I suspect that I can grant you spells with it.

"It says I can't do it until I prepare spells. Also something about its connection to the goddess being severed. It thinks I can still get spells."

"- artifact's a person?"

"I dunno. It says stuff."

     Whether I am a person is a matter of perspective. I can talk to your friend directly, if that would be helpful. However, I cannot leave you until the quest is completed, and can only discuss things with people I am in physical contact with. Fortunately, it is perfectly possible for other people to touch me while you wear me.

She blushes a little. "It - says you can talk to it but that you would have to touch it. And that I'm not allowed to stop wearing it. I can also just keep repeating what it says."

"What's the quest?"

    I have been separated from the other half of myself. My other half is responsible for what you see of this world, for the festivals and the control of the populace. Without my guidance, I fear that he has become confused about how to pursue the flourishing of his charges. He has forgotten love. He has forgotten beauty. Return me to Landru, and I will fix this. When I am whole, I will release you.

(She repeats this.)

He wants to flop on the ground but it's thorny and he's injured. "Can you ask it how many cleric levels you have now?"

     You have been granted the powers of a seventh level cleric of Shelyn, for as long as you bear me.

"Seven."

"Okay. So then we can just message Elizabeth in the morning and - I guess we still have to do the quest but we can get Fazil and Mahdi and supplies and stuff."

"Yeah."

"Thank you for, uh, saving my life."

"Yeah. No problem."

- actually it has caused a bunch of problems but whatever. Hopefully they're not still entangled with fairies.

"I think I might actually need more healing if I'm going to try to build any kind of shelter."

Nod. She touches his shoulder. "Cure Moderate Wounds."

"Thank you."

And he will try to clear them some ground to sleep on, shielded from the wind though not actually covered.

"Well. It'll probably do for one night. Unless it rains."

"Thank you. D'you want first watch or second."

"I'm not really tired. You?"

"I guess I can try sleeping."

"Okay." He sits down and pats Fy.
