: '''The DM:''' Accepted.  But I did assume that; I won't police your spell memorizing nor claim you couldn't have done it.  It's the sort of thing I'd rather retcon if there's an issue with it.  After all, you wouldn't forget; you were trained at a seminary for years to get up every morning and pray.  You'd have to will yourself not to do it.
  
−
'''The DM:''' Committing new spells to memory IS praying for them.  Yes, you will need 15 minutes per spell per level of spell.  You will need to sleep six hours before you can relearn spells you’ve used today, but you can pray for the new spells right now.

'''[[Lexent]]:''' I'm somewhat keen to take the time necessary to gain access to those new spells, but I also don't want any loose ghouls to be able to sneak up on us, so we should probably see what the situation is down that hallway first.

'''The DM:''' Effectively, a cleric doesn’t “memorize” ... the cleric meditates, prays, then becomes aware of when the power of the spell has been bestowed onto them from the outside.  Lexent will be aware now that his spells are coming from the Plane of Ysgard, or Asgard, an assembly of floating continents including the Den of Olidammara, Jotunheim, Valiant Hall and the Plain of Ida; these float over a huge land called Muspelheim, with an subterranean realm below that's called Nidavellir.  I’ll go ahead and steal from [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lords_of_the_Golden_Hills the Forgotten Realms] and say that the Gnomish gods dwell on a small floating continent called “The Golden Hills,” whereat your gods come from.

'''The DM:''' If the sappers have the hit points, they’d rather come along than stay behind.  It occurs to me, I need 2d6 rolled for Helga.  Can someone roll it please?

'''The DM:''' Incidentally, Nebelun is the Gnomish god of healing.  Yes regarding Garl.  Your pantheon is polytheistic, and you don’t pray to any single god.  You give your attention to the god that is in authority over the thing you need right now.

But, I should have checked her morale anyway.  I’ll lump them together and since her original morale was 9, and Pandred cleared, that, please lower her base morale to 8. This is her morale when Pandred isn’t around to influence it further.

Continued from Morning of July 18th, in Camp

July 19 of 1650, morning

The DM: Not long after Dilhak leaves, it begins to rain. Laying in the tent, listening to it fall, you can’t help think about how Dilhak is walking in it. The rain is light, becoming a drizzle by daylight and still going by 9 am. The temperature is cool and there’s just the lightest air movement.

Lexent: When I awaken I spend the hour and 15 minutes to prepare my spells.

The DM: Accepted. But I did assume that; I won't police your spell memorizing nor claim you couldn't have done it. It's the sort of thing I'd rather retcon if there's an issue with it. After all, you wouldn't forget; you were trained at a seminary for years to get up every morning and pray. You'd have to will yourself not to do it.

Vafrandir: Do we want to head back down today? There are probably a handful more ghouls and ghasts about, as well as that tomb - which we're not sure how to enter yet.

Vafrandir: How are the sappers faring?

Lexent: Everyone is fully healed.

Lexent: Nadia's wages accounted for.

The DM: If the sappers have the hit points, they’d rather come along than stay behind. It occurs to me, I need 2d6 rolled for Helga. Can someone roll it please?

Pandred: 9.

Vafrandir: I would like someone to stay behind with Ole again. Arvid did last time. Let's see what this roll for Helge yields.

The DM: Helga was stunned in the fight with the ghasts, and also in the earlier fight with the ghouls; I never had her roll a morale check, though she never did rejoin the fight after the ghasts. But, I should have checked her morale anyway. I’ll lump them together and since her original morale was 9, and Pandred cleared, that, please lower her base morale to 8. This is her morale when Pandred isn’t around to influence it further.
