The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

The priest bounds forward in his confidence, paying brief heed to the newly rescued warrior.

Iddin: “Rejoice, for you are forever preserved! Zuzu strikes his enemies down by your hand. And even should there be as many foes as grains on the beach, we have the might of an ocean to drown it!”

_{Iddin moves to P-17 and activates Inspiration.

The priest stumbled forward still, filling in yet more of Zarif’s wounds.

Iddin: “Zuzu preserves you with his grace!"

But the spell was different this time. Just as Zarif was repaired, so too did some of the priest’s own wounds. It took him a moment to understand the backlash and embrace the signs. But only a moment to realize he, himself, was being granted the holy agony and promise of eternity. With renewed vigor, Iddin pushed towards the others in the distance.

Iddin: “Our mission is truly blessed! The gift is upon me as well! Zuzu wills that we should slaughter the heathens!"

_{Iddin gained the skill Communal Healing.
Iddin regained _ VIT (_/_).
Iddin moves to M-16.}

The priest regains his composure, no foes left in sight. He strides forward with a slight limp, not immune to his own injuries, and thinks on the geography of the battlefield. The others had slipped out of his sight and hopefully had better fortune.

Iddin: "Stay alert! Press forward and look for any enemies concealed beyond the mountains."

_{Iddin moves to D-13.}

Iddin takes deep breaths, trying to calm down a bit as his mercenaries charge recklessly into the enemy. Fortunately, Balathu retreats directly to Iddin's position. The priest seals his wounds quickly, but with far more care than applied to Zarif.

Iddin: "Feel the embrace of Zuzu! Be repaired, so that you may be the vanguard of his might!"

_{Iddin stays on C6 and casts Heal on Balathu.
Balathu gains 7 VIT (23/23).
Iddin gains 15 EXP and 1 Theurgy, losing 1 Heal durability.}

The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

Iddin stumbles to the back of the band. In his disorientated flailing he creates a horrible cacophony and hollers forward.

Iddin: Zuzu protects! Zuzu protects! Slaughter our foes, for daring to contest his great plan! As I am preserved in this realm, and preserved eternal, so shall all his adherents! Our protector is mighty!

_{Iddin moves to C6 and casts Inspiration, giving Zarif and Siris +10 Hit/Avoid.}

The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

Iddin's slow ramp up is abruptly broken by Zarif's near-death. Iddin curses Siris' recklessness under his breath as he sprints forward to meet Zarif.

Iddin: His eternal gift is mighty! Fear not agony in Zuzu's embrace, you commune with the divine!

The priest barely finishes his sprint to the fallen-back Zarif, sand rising out from his garments into the quartermaster's wounds. The job is hastier than usual -- glass shards fly into his calf and shoulder, pulsating in rough shapes before filling into Zarif's flesh. The exposed glass reflects the sunlight as it sears to close the wounds, and then transforms into its usual mimicry.

_{Iddin moves to D8 and casts Heal on Zarif.
Zarif gains 21 VIT (24/24).
Iddin gains 36 EXP and 1 Theurgy, losing 1 Heal durability.}

The priest, having given some words of encouragement, faces the reality of his situation. The glint of enemy weapons is not too far in the distance, and this band is small. He moves forward with slow, deliberate steps, ramping up his regular ritual. The chimes murmur.

Iddin: Defying the gods is to defy our purpose. Come, let the heathens die in their mistake. You have Zuzu's word at your back.

_{Iddin moves to D3 and activates Inspiration.}

Iddin hangs at the back of the unit, in near silence punctuated by soft murmurs and slow gestures. It is a gentler healing than he performs on the battlefield, reducing other's fatigue while managing his own. The better to respond to any incident or hopefully, finish the trek sooner. He and Lahamu swap this duty through the effortlessness of constant practice.

Ninil starts them all towards a fight and the priest sighs. Better to rally all than a few.

Iddin: There is fortune in a fight! Let us sweep those worn pillagers and fund our drinks tonight from their gains.

_{Iddin starts on D2 and has purchased a new Heal (-250 aurum).}

The Dweomer of Akkad - [ A Fire Emblem-like RPG! ]

The healer picks up his pace again, reaching the middle of the pack. He spots Lyun with some fresh wounds. And as Iddin arrives, he sees the great mass of enemies across the wall. He twitches briefly but regains his composure, running his staff to chime across Lyun's body.

Iddin: In the face of adversity Zuzu grants the power to hold still! Be restored by the power of our protector. Let the marks of fell blades be erased!

He takes a deep breath and calls out to the group, leaning on his staff.

Iddin: Hold them at the gap!

_{Iddin moves 6 tiles to 18-9 and casts Heal on Lyun.
Lyun gains 6 VIT (22/22).
Iddin gains 14 EXP and 1 Theurgy, losing 1 Heal durability.}

His breath a little more caught, Iddin steps a little more forward where he can see most of the band. The priest plants his staff into the ground, the chimes radiating outwards to the band. The divine flesh embedded in his allies serve as a root, likewise reinforcing its hosts. Their vision gains sharpness and speed.

Iddin: Those with Zuzu's blessing, rejoice! He grants a clearer world, a fraction of your mortal fog lifted. Advance forward with his guidance at your backs!

_{Iddin moves 2 tiles to 18-15 and Waits.
Inspirational gives +10 Hit & Avoid to Siris, Etor, Ninil, Zarif, and Lahamu.}
