an acolyte preparing for evening prayer service
An acolyte 's work is very done.  My prayers to our gods are never ending.  One day, I hope the gods will bless me for my prayers.
Tonight the gods will finally shine on me! Young man, I need you to do a favor for me.  Yes your devoutness, what can I do for you? We will need a blood sacrifice.  Do you think you can find a suitable one? Oh yes! you would finally trust me for something that important? Easy easy, what will you find for us? Well there is a list of suitable subjects in my journal I have been compiling. Were you looking for young or old, male or female? Young and male. Okay, perfect look here, John Smith. Freshly 18. He is the blacksmith's apprentice. Ah, the blacksmith's apprentie.  Sounds perfect.  How strong is he?  He is strong, must be for a blacksmith's apprentice. Yes, as I suspected.  Can you lead an expedition and return with this lad?
