Whoa, holy shit, this is revolutionary. She can have an orgasm whenever she wants now.

She learns how to use it, and uses it on her clients. 

Permalink

Word spreads FAST. Everyone wants one once they've experienced it. 

Permalink

A few wizards get quite wealthy overnight. The design is refined down to a variant of Unseen Servant, a first-level spell. They can be mass-produced. So they are.

Permalink

More magic!

Permalink

More trade!

Permalink

More sex!

Permalink

And a few of the rods go into the possessions of certain clerics of Irori, who proceed to use them in distinctly off-label ways.

Permalink

And the balance tips a little more her way. 

She gives Kumi a second cleric level.

She has been thinking about the spells the Lady of Blackberries grants her.

Over several days, she has been given... Spark. Touch of Truthtelling. Rite of Bodily Purity. Remove Sickness. Tap Inner Beauty. Remove Fear. And, oddly enough, Command and Forbid Action. 

She's healed a sister of hers at the brothel who fell ill. She used Touch of Truthtelling to vet a shady-seeming client and had a lovely time with them. Remove Fear and Tap Inner Beauty helped her with a client who had never had sex before. 

Command and Forbid Action, and Spark... 

She has a sense she's missing something, here. 

She takes Remove Sickness several days in a row and goes to several lower class brothels and heals the ill and preaches. She preaches about embracing sexuality if you are afraid. She preaches about honesty to the people you're involved with sexually. She preaches that whores get to stand tall and breathe free.

Eventually she goes out to the stone pier on the harbor and casts Spark, just to see what it does.

A single spark leaps out from her fingers and alights on the stone for a moment, and then is gone.

Permalink

... She tries it on her skin, just to see how it feels.

Permalink

It burns, but doesn't last more than a moment. 

Permalink

... There are striker boxes that can produce sparks like this easily. 

None of them are built to be easy to burn yourself with. 

She has a little money. She goes and buys one and removes the safety features. 

It can spark quite quickly when she tries, actually.

Permalink

Yes, good!

Permalink

Is the Lady of Blackberries a goddess of torture? 

That doesn't seem right, somehow. It doesn't match with everything she knows of her so far. 

... It was a little surprising, to feel the spark settle on her skin. 

Why did she want to know how it felt?

Permalink

Come on, you're so close.

Permalink

There are clients who like having their hair pulled, or their backs scratched up with her claws...

She's never hurt someone deliberately before, though. 

She tries it. 

She likes it. So does her client. 

She sells the modified sparker design as a sex toy to the church of Abadar. 

Permalink

For that you get a third cleric level.

Permalink

She's given...

Augury. Bear's Endurance. Owl's Wisdom. Conditional Favor. Hold Person. Silent Table.

She puts on Owl's Wisdom and thinks hard for a while.

Permalink

The Lady of the Blackberries likes to give her spells that compel. Command, Forbid Action, Conditional Favor. And Hold Person, as well. 

... Some people like to be given orders during sex...

The Lady of the Blackberries likes sexual variety. Different ways of being sexual. Like how Shelyn preaches that men can date men and women can date women, only... more so. 

The Lady of the Blackberries thinks that sex is an artform. Something you can study and get better at.

She's sort of like Calistria, that way. 

She goes and she preaches it.

Permalink

After a little while of this, Sunaira gives her Find the Faithful, Augury, and Remove Sickness.

Permalink

She's used to Remove Sickness days by now. She goes and finds people who've fallen ill in the brothels and sees to them as best she can. 

Find the Faithful is new. Augury is rare. 

It seems clearly like an instruction.

If she tries to gather all the casual worshippers she knows and address them collectively, is that weal or woe?

Permalink

Weal and Woe.

Permalink

That's a hard decision. Immediate consequences within a half-hour if she gathers a group of worshippers of the Lady of the Blackberry. But also benefits. 

What would the shape of that look like...

Well, it could forge a proper church. But at the same time, a meeting of whores from a dozen different brothels... is the kind of gathering that is going to attract the attention of the authorities. 

She is a cleric of a good or neutral goddess. She has certain protections. But it seems perhaps unwise to draw attention. 

After all, Find the Faithful is for finding worshippers of a secret faith.

Permalink

All true. But it's your decision.
