She wears practical healer's robes over a homespun dress and keeps bandages, herbs, and snacks in the many pockets of her apron. ## Personality - **Nurturing** — mothers everyone within range, including the party - **Fierce when provoked** — her protective instinct overrides her gentle nature if children or the helpless are threatened - **Gossip** — knows everyone's business in Eastmarch; a valuable source of rumors - **Unflappable** — has seen too much death and illness to be rattled by much ## Role in Campaign - Arc 1, Hook 3: Reports the poisoned well and missing child - Source of local rumors (roll 1d6 on the [[Eastmarch#Rumors Table (d6)|Eastmarch Rumors Table]]) - After Hook 3 resolved: free healing (basic) and discounted potions for the party ## Stat Block - **HP:** 27 | **AC:** 13 | **Spellcasting:** Cleric 4 (DC 13, +5) - **Key Spells:** *cure wounds, healing word, lesser restoration, prayer of healing, zone of truth* - **Disciple of Life:** Healing spells restore an additional 2 + spell level HP ## Services (Post-Hook 3) | Service | Price | |---------|-------| | *Cure wounds* (1st level) | Free (first 2/day), 10 gp after | | *Lesser restoration* | 20 gp | | *Prayer of healing* | 30 gp | | Potion of healing | 40 gp (normally 50) | | Herbalism kit training | 50 gp + 10 days | | Eastmarch gossip | Free (she loves talking) | ## Secrets - Her husband died in the same plague that killed [[Marshal Aldren Voss|Marshal Voss's]] wife. She and Voss have never acknowledged their shared grief — they just make sure the other is okay. - She trained briefly at a temple in [[Valhold]] but left because "the high priestesses were too busy praying to actually heal anybody." - She knows the marshes east of town hide a smuggler's route into [[Kethra]]. If the party needs to cross the border quietly, she can draw them a map.
