NIGHTCRAWLERS
With their new ally Zathyran, Pierre, Claire, and Malleus advanced down the path. As they walked, the surroundings became more recognizable; in fact, this appeared to be the path the priest they had met was walking when they ran into him earlier. And he had spoke the truth; light was coming from up ahead, but it was fading. Night would fall soon, and that meant they had to get to some kind of shelter. The four of them picked up the pace, and as they neared the exit they heard familiar voices: Greenmoore, Weaver, and King.
EVERYONE
Jonas turned slightly as the three he had met earlier and a stranger came out of the cavern entrance. I was right... although their losses were less than I feared. He nodded to them and filled them in on the situation: there was a church up ahead where they could weather the night; no unholy creature could approach it. He lead the eight there, talking quietly and learning a little about them, past the remains of stone houses and pushed open the door... where they were greeted by a large, open, empty room. There was a confessional off to the side and, near the back, a pair of doors that presumably led to where the priests who tended to the church had slept.
More surprising was that there was an old woman in nun's clothing idly sweeping the aisles between the pews. She looked up at the sound of the door opening. "Ah, brother Weaver. It's quite good of you to come and see me again," she said, turning back to her work. "Sister Winstead," Jonas replied. "I didn't think you would still be here. This is brother Greenmoore, another of my order; sir Raulat, sent from the Vatican; Wymar, a traveling fortune teller; Pierre, a French mercenary; Daniel, a physician; Claire, a pirate; Frenz, a Slovakian nobleman; and Zathyran, a hunter of the undead and magician."
Sister Winstead ceased sweeping and leaned the broom against a pew. "I see. I think we have enough room for all of you to stay. Would you care to make a donation?" she asked, gesturing at the collection plate. Jonas looked at it, then went over and placed a bag of gold on it. "It is said this church is quite holy. Those who make a donation receive a blessing," he said over his shoulder to the party. He set his cross on the plate as well, waited a few seconds, then replaced it on his belt. (Jonas's Combat Cross becomes Weighted Combat Cross!)
(The donation plate acts as the merchant for this area. Simply put down a trade item and you'll get what you want; if it's an item and not an upgrade Sister Winstead will supply it.)
