Nickeline waits her turn to ride Perdita. She clings tightly to Hildegard for the whole trip. Her nausea only gets worse upon landing, however. She was used to feeling the presence the divine, but this was different. When Flandal answered her prayers, Nickeline felt the warmth of compassion. There was no warmth here, not anymore.
"This spot looks good," Nickeline says, pointing out a relatively flat area nearby. She wants to get the ritual started quickly so they can leave quickly. Being here was bad enough even without the risk of disturbances. It sounded like Selarial had an idea of what was coming.
Once they find a place to conduct a ritual, Nickeline says, "During the ritual I will pray to Flandal that your souls will be protected from the evil of the items and especially from commingling with Sserah's soul bits," Nickeline continues, taking a vial of holy water out of her pocket, "but I can only bestow that protection to one of you at a time. Whoever wants it come bend down and I'll anoint you with holy water."
OOC:
Lord Akkron had warned the party about the risks of the ritual including Sserah's soul going to one of the casters instead of the intended objects. Once the ritual starts, Nickeline will cast Protection from Evil and Good on whoever is going to cast the wish. It should last until the end as long as Nickeline's concentration isn't broken.
She does also have a second holy water if someone else can cast the spell (maybe Gorash?)
The strange and unnatural light of the landscape makes Hildegard's skin crawl. After bringing the last of the group to the fragile surface, she remains on Perdita, the nightmare's flaming hooves resting in the air just above the surface of the dead god. She eyes the delicate ground, unsettled by the fact that if it breaks apart, she could only carry away at most two people at a time.
"Let's start right away," she says, also almost in a whisper. "I feel uneasy the longer we stay here."
She looks at Nickekine. "I am also able to cast that spell, if you would loan me the holy water."
