[Daphne's Search For Training Start] * Everybody split up to go find training or various other things... * Daphne hums, and thinks to herself; "First thing's first, gel. Ye need t' find someone who can take off these allbedamned gloves. Then ye' can pick up a glass without breakin' it, which will be good." * There are two real options for magical might in Colorford. Hogwart's University, and the Temple of Selene. * Daphne decides on the Temple, not having been witness to their last attempt to break a curse laid upon her. * Daphne goes in search of the Temple of Saline, yoush. * MinorCleric greets Daphne at the easily locatable temple of Selene. Can I help you? Ah certainly hope so. * Daphne holds up her begauntleted hands. "I found these in a nice dank dungeon somewhere. They're comfy and they make me really really strong, but they won't come off, which means I've been destroying everything I've touched with me hands for the past two days." I think they're cursed, and I'm hoping you can maybe do something about that part. Ah, a standard weapon curse. Not a problem. I can help with that, for a small donation. * Daphne nods. "Sounds good to me. I have some silver in my backpack, but I don't want to get it out until I can get these things off." * MinorCleric tsks at Daphne. Adventurers are usually more generous... * Daphne shrugs. "I dunno if I have any gold left, but if I do I'll certainly show my gratitude." Well then, that's more like it. You do realize that having the curse removed will destroy the gauntlets, yes? * Daphne frowns. "No, I didn't realise that." You must be a novice. Okay, cursed items are made in two ways. One is deliberate, where it is made as a trap. * Daphne nods. "Lemme guess. In that case there's nothing but the curse?" Yep. It would appear that your gauntlets there are the second case, of a mistake in the making. There, the problem is that the magic used to enchant the gauntlets if flawed, and taking out the flaw means unraveling the entire spell. * Daphne nods and sighs. "Will the physical aspect of the gloves remain, at least? They are awful comfy." Most likely that comfort is a secondary enchantment on the gloves, tied to the main one. It will probably unravel along with the other enchantment. * Daphne shrugs. "Eh. At least I'll be able to hold a glass again." * Daphne holds her hands out. "So. Lay it on my, priesty boy." * MinorCleric takes Daphne to the altar. Please lay your hands down right there. * Daphne does as told. "Alrighty. Next?" * MinorCleric kneels and begins praying. * Daphne resists the urge to hum to herself. * MinorCleric prays harder, and harder, and begins sweating. * MinorCleric sweats badly as the sense of power around him grows, and then the power finally releases and the gauntlets crumble to dust. Something... interfering. That was hard. I think I'll sleep now. * MinorCleric passes out next to the altar. * Priest rushes in. What's happened? * Daphne blinks. "Uhm." He tried to take a curse off of these gauntlets I found, and... he said something was interfering. Although he did succeed in the end. * Daphne dusts her hands off. "Is he alright?" Interesting. * Daphne goes to inspect the poor guy. * Priest picks the young man up in his arms. Well, please leave a donation in the box there. * Priest motions to a small box attached to the wall. I'll see that he gets enough rest. * Daphne nods, turns, stops, and turns back. "Wait, one more thing." "I have a niggling feeling as to what might have been interfering. See, I've had this curious design on my chest ever since I got here, and I'm pretty sure it's signifficant of something." * Priest goes pale. Leave. Now. * Daphne blinks. "Uhm. Okay." * Daphne leaves. * Daphne thinks about that as she walks out the door, but doesn't come to any satisfactory conclusions. So she takes out her flask, enjoys a sip fro it, puts it back, and heads off to Hogwarts. * Hogwart's University has two main entrances. One is a pair of immense gates, currently closed, and the other is a smaller door, marked 'open' * Daphne goes in through the smaller door. [Session Merge -> Shiho's Search For Training]
