[HQ Ignorance] Re : Re : Sinnerbane's test

Thu Feb 22 08:39:34 EST 2007

Hello all,
I have re-read the HQ book on sorcery and I think that I need to be an apprentice before being a liturgist, no?

What ever the rule points, at the story level the case is closed for me now... ready to depart!

"Azhur even wondered for a while if this paternal
attack could have been a part of the test itself?"

Well spotted ;-)

The Battle Seers declare that your steadfast
commitment to the Church, along with your flexibility
to also engage in humble and conciliatory remarks
makes you an ideal member: "The greatest bane for
sinners will be one who truly understand them. For it
is not what what goes into one's head that indicates
corruption, but rather what comes out of their mouth".

You are now of Liturgist of the Battle Seers. Spend 3
Hero Points and receive Use Scripture and Venerate God
at 13 for free.

Your father remarks: "Well done son, and good timing.
You are about to engage on the sort of adventure I
could only dream of. Bring pride to the name of our
house".
