All-Mother's Altar

## **Normal Encounter**

*All-Mother's shrines were a common sight across Avalon. Despite their grim existence, settlers were grateful to the goddess. They had good reason to be. For every ten people who set sail for Avalon, only four would even reach the island, and only one or two of those would survive their first year. The shrine has faint traces of power lingering in the air. A priestess materializes out of the Wyrdness and asks what it is that you're looking for.*

* **ASK FOR HEALING**
*The priestess lays her hands on your chest. You feel a wrenching pain as your body heals much faster than is comfortable. It's hard to get used to this sensation.* [Received: 10 HP]
* **ASK FOR A BLESSING** *Get legendary card(s)*
*The priestess gazes at you with a blank stare. You realize that - despite her phantasmal appearance - the payment for her services must be very real indeed.*
	+ **PAY** (200 (Wealth))
	*She carefully counts the coins you gave her. Only then does she whisper a spell.* [Received: ]
	+ **(BACK)**
* **ROB THE SHRINE** *Receive 500 (Wealth)*
*As you try to force the priestess to comply with your will, she begins to speak. Her incomprehensible words sound like slime dripping through dried reeds. As you struggle to understand her, she disappears into the Wyrdness.*

* Eighth Ritual: *"You're not mistaken. This must be the work of the All-Mother." As she gets closer, you see the dullness in her eyes. No joy lights up her face. "I just couldn't keep my end of the bargain. There's no strength left in me to continue this journey." You notice how weak she seems. She's barely able to stand.*
	+ **ENCOURAGE HER TO CONTINUE***You tell her that the quest is what's important and that she should push through the pain. She closes her eyes for a moment. "You're right. When I became a priestess, I offered my life up to the All-Mother. I can't turn back now." She bids you farewell and sets a course for the next altar. Perhaps you'll meet again one day? And perhaps encouraging her to persevere was the right thing to do.* [Completed Quest: With Madman's Faith]**--ENCOUNTER END--**
	+ **ASK HER TO FORFEIT THE JOURNEY***She sighs and lets go of her walking stick... and instantly collapses to the ground. Looking up to the sky she says: "Thank you. I needed to hear that. I've been on this journey for a long, long time. The more Altars I prayed at, the more pointless it all felt. I can't cure this land. I can't save these altars. And even if I was doing the right thing, was it a good thing... when I almost destroyed myself in the process? Would the All-Mother want her priestess to pray in that way?" Before you have a chance to react, she evaporates into a wisp of light and disappears into the Wyrdness.* [Completed Quest: With Madman's Faith]**--ENCOUNTER END--**
