Keep the priestess pinned down; have that remove curse ready!
[1] The priestess whips you off of her. Somehow in the chaos she slashed you with the tip of the spear. Looking at her you see that the pendant now has blood flowing down in, both from you and from her newly slit wrist. Whatever is going on down here, it surely isn't right. [1 damage]
Get that pendant!
[2] You try to wrench the pendant from her hand, but with all the blood flowing you can force it out. Suddenly the pendant starts to disappear into smoke. Clearly this was a powerful demon long ago captured. With the priestess's life-blood slipping away you'll probably know for sure what happened.
Head to the gates of the town and explain a little history about the gates while restoring them and improving them.
[1] It strikes you that you don't really know a whole lot about this town. THIS CALLS FOR RESEARCH!!!
Looks like he needs help getting that pendant out of her hand. I run over to help and try to grab the priestess's wrist, so Ochita can concentrate on getting the pendant.
[2]Despite your efforts, you can't force the priestess let go of the pendant.
Sleep peaceful, non-violent dreams about my beloved fire.
[5] You sleep and dream about fire. I'll let you decide how wondrous the dreams are
Try to wake up and if I do then fire at the priestess.
[1] You remain unconscious, but don't have any dreams. Drat
Enemy TurnsPossessed Priestess: [5] The Priestess falls over, whatever force was animating her clearly has more important things on their mind now.
Lyon: [4] The smoke coming out from the pendant beings to wrap around the floor and suddenly you can see solid shapes warping around inside of the man-shaped smoke cloud. [6] Suddenly in a flash of silver the smoke clears and a full-sized man is standing before you.
"Millennia trapped and alone. Finally . . . free," he says. He has straight, shoulder-length, black hair. His face has a scar over one of his eyes. He's wearing a purple shirt without sleeves exposing his rather sizable muscles on his arms and long black pants. Seeing as the color purple is only found in the far northern reaches of the world, you're mildly surprised to find it here.
"How rude, not even introducing myself to my rescuers. I am Lyon trapped three thousand years ago and imprisoned for my research into the demon realm, of the Nether, my knowledge and skills are at your service.Enemy StatusPriestess: 15 of 20 health
