Read principals of justice, while holding the holy symbol of the god of Justice, attempt to glean any potential spells/prayers and or energies and memorize them, hopefully some type of offensive banish evil type spell.
Encourage the gelatin to attempt to gain some mass, but avoid eating the locals and me or my stuff.
You begin paging through the book. (6) Unlike magic books which are filled with obscure formulas and somatics, this seems to contain invocations for divine magic. (Luck 4) You learn two basic invocations.
+3 to Divine Magic
New Spell: Shield of Faith
New Spell: Holy WordI engrave linked runes of warding and subversion on the bracers.
You begin carving the runes onto your bracers. (1+2) You carve crude runes into the bracers. (Luck 3) The runes activate, but they don't seem to have linked correctly. You now have a bracer of warding and a bracer of subversion.
+2 to RunecraftingI find the commander of the guard and ask for information regarding where the attacks likely originate, and which areas should be stopped to slow our foes down. I'll also mention our success at Duplicity.
I'm still not sure exactly what we accomplished at Duplicity, aside from looting. Let's leave between this turn and the next.
You seek out the commander (3) He receives you rather gruffly, greeting you with "Huh. So you're still alive then? Well, I guess that says something about your fighting ability..."
You ask about the source of the demons. (Luck 3) "Well, we don't know much about them, but the biggest source is the Obsidian Gate that serves as a direct passage to Hell up in Schalade. However, there are too many demons to come through just that; we suspect other sources must be channeling some through as well... there seems to be at least one source in each demon city."
You mention Schalade. "A cursed mirror, huh? That could have been one of the sources. Using mortal souls as a power source to traverse dimensions souls like just the thing demons would do. "
+3 to DiplomacyAll right.
Cast Curative Aura.
Command Golem to go around town and ask for alchemy reagents or useful equipment.
You prepare to cast your aura. (3) Your magic aura seems to be rather small, (Luck 6) but everyone inside of it is fully healed.
+ 3 to HealingSeeing as the golem is done with the voulge, can I have it back?
I'll try to help Virroken out of the ice block by using a spring (Torrent might end up hurting you) of warm water (even if it's room temperature it should be fine... ish).
You try to free Virroken from his icy prison. (1+2) You create a small spring that leaks water onto the ice block. (Luck 5) While it doesn't seem to be working very quickly, it is slowly thawing Virroken out.
Thank you, diesalot. Will ward you afterwards.
More thawing. More willpower. More luck.
Since I've frozen myself twice in a row, I should be able to do it on command now. NEW MOVE TIEM. Not that I'd ever use it. Maybe I'll find an offensive use for it. Sit on target and cast on self for epic lawls.
You continue trying to un-freeze yourself. (3+3) You pour more elemental energy into your surroundings, (Luck 4) and this time they're actually heat waves. The ice around you melts.
+3 to ElementalismI guess I'll look for a priest to uncurse my daggers.
You head to the church to try and get your daggers uncursed. (4) The priest uncurses your daggers (Luck 3) but not before scolding you about giving in to the temptations of demon magic.
Me and Stone Spirit will heal Virroken but also attempt to break him free by gently punching the ice.
Hopefully the ice won't crack and Virroken with it, right?
You go to help Virroken, but seeing he is already free try to heal him instead. (3+3) You try to use your earth magic to warm him up (Luck 4) and finish healing his wounds.
+3 to ElementalismAarchan's gelatin tries to improve itself. (5) It finds a nest of rats in the sewers (Luck 4) which it manages to corner and gorge itself on. The cube has increased it's mass by 50%, but it now smells really bad.
Cheddarius' golem searches for alchemy ingredients. (1) It returns with a rock. (Luck 2) which it decides to give to Cheddarius by throwing it at him. (3)(RTD 3) Cheddarius dives out of the way.

The group finished their business in town, and sets out for the tower of Kicen. They encounter no resistance at all, not even an imp. After roughly a day and a half of travel, they arrive at the tower. Two golems made of the same black metal as the demon weapons appear to be guarding the entrance.
