MALLEUS RAULATThe knight approached the altar first and placed his sapphire on the donation plate. As he watched, his armor mended the tear made by Marcus, and turned a silvery color. It felt thicker than before, more protective, but not any more restrictive. Additionally, the sapphire had disappeared from the plate, and in its place was a warhammer. He picked it up and swung it once; a trail of cold air followed in its wake. He placed it next to his axe and moved away from the altar to allow the others to pay homage. (Malleus's armor increases by +1 defense. Malleus gets artifact Freezing Warhammer! This is like Pierre's Blitz Rapier, but without the accuracy bonuses and for ice rather than electricity.)
WYMAR SANEWymar and Zathyran talked while Malleus was at the altar, and eventually brokered a deal where Wymar handed his gold over for the magician's Fire Tome. Once the knight moved away, he approached the altar and laid his sword upon it, then somewhat self-consciously took off most of his clothes and put them on the plate as well while keeping an eye on the only young woman in the room. Just in case. When he turned back the items had been replaced; the worn travelling clothes of a gypsy were now the bright red of a fire elementalist, and his bastard sword was now much sharper if somewhat heavier than before. (Wymar gets: Fire Tome; Red Clothes, which have +0 to defense and +1 to movement; and Razor Blade, which has +2 to damage rolls.)
PIERRE Dé GRASSEPierre was next up and he placed his gold and Blitz Rapier on the collection plate. After a few moments, the gold vanished and he picked up his weapon. It was now lighter than before, making it easier to thrust and parry with. Pleased, he replaced it on his belt. (Blitz Rapier now has +2 accuracy; final upgrade.)
FRIAR GREENMOOREThe friar placed his gold on the collection plate, then filled his vials with water from the nearby basin. He could feel how much holier it was than the water he had been carrying; odd how this church could remain in such close proximity to the dark lord's castle. (Holy Water is now Blessed Water.) While he was filling the vials, he noticed a key at the bottom of the basin, and asked Sister Winstead about it. She told him he could take it if he wanted, and he tried it on the box. It just so happened to work. o.O Inside the box was a ring made of a single large pearl. After a bit of trying it on different fingers, he finally fit it comfortably on his left index. (Greenmoore gets: Pearl Ring! It increases all Damage rolls by +1.)
DANIEL KINGDaniel approached the altar and placed his old leather armor on it, as well as his cross. After a moment the armor disappeared, and his cross looked... well... fancier. Before a plain silver affair, now it was gold with a gem at each of the four ends; rubies on the shorter arms and sapphires at the top and bottom. He took it and replaced it on his belt. (Cross becomes Jeweled Cross; final upgrade.)
CLAIRE ROSARAClaire thought over what she wanted as she made her way to the altar next. After a bit, she divested herself of her leather armor and three bags of gold, placing all of it on the plate. The gold vanished, and so did the armor. (Treating this as buying one big upgrade 'cause I'm nice like that. And it gives me the opportunity to give you something more interesting.
) In its place was a set of hide armor covered in a strange blue material that looked like fish scales. She put it on and found that it fit as well as her old leather armor did, but felt both lighter and stronger. (Claire gets Leviathan Scale Armor! It has +1 defense and +2 mobility.) Not only that, but under it was a necklace. A shark's tooth hung from the end, and she put it on. (Claire gets Shark Tooth Necklace. For 1 MP she can imbue her subweapon/melee attacks with the Ice element, dealing Ice damage and granting a 25% chance of freezing the enemy. Frozen enemies can't move and are weaker to Blunt damage.)
FRENZ GRENDEFrenz approached the altar, setting his whip and and gold on it. (Upgrade randomized in lieu of specification: 1d10, 1-4 = accuracy, 5-9 = damage, 10 = element. 7, damage increase) When the gold disappeared, the whip looked completely different. No longer a thick leather affair, it was now made of sturdy, heavy chain, with a weighted tip for maximum damage. He coiled it onto his belt. (Whip becomes Chain Whip; final upgrade.)
ZATHYRAN FIRSANKHZathyran went to the altar last and set the gold and his tome upon it. The gold vanished and the binding of his book became a thick white leather with gilded lettering. He picked it up, then set his knife on the plate. It, too, was accepted as an offering, and he felt his robe become slightly thicker. (Lightning becomes Occult Book Lightning. Unarmored becomes Thick Gray Robes, which are +0 defense and +1 movement.)
