Curse of the Crimson Throne: Seven Days to the Grave [IC]

[lostsole31]

Delta and Beta return to the Soldado's home, and Delta (ostensibly, but tell me if it isn't so) returns 375 gp to Gamma. (A dwarf would definitely remember and notice.)

Surely, there is some secret excitement for Gamma. What a great day it was when the warpriest was gifted by Iomedae to cast spells that would heal more effectively, become a more powerful warrior, and other deeper secrets. But this scroll that removes diseases .... this is magic out of the hands of one such as he. Or, at least it was. To be honored with this, even though it was paid for ... Gamma unravels the scroll, and cannot make heads or tails of it. It is surely holy Abadarian script, but it is an alien form to the dwarf. So thoroughly had the dwarf learned intuitive healing and destructive power from Iomedae - leaning on his own merits or the powers directly given him by his goddess - that other than a keenly focused scholarship in philosophical and spiritual lore, he had forgone all other learning whatsoever. Likewise, his normal orisons are ill-suited to the task (needing read magic). Other than sitting there somewhat dumbfounded and sending out his results to the others, there is not much for him to do.

The most capable member of the group for "unknown" magical scrolls would be Delta; he can cast read magic as a summoner, and his ability to "commandeer" magical items not originally part of his training is incredible.
