The Temple of Cant
Whenever a party brings back characters who are dead, paralyzed or similarly
distressed, they can be carried to the Temple of Cant.
Enter the Temple by pressing [T] at the main Castle menu. You will be shown a list of
the characters the Temple can help. Select a character from the list and the Temple
priests will tell you what tithe is required. Choose which character in the party will
pay the tithe. Should that character not have enough gold, the entire party's gold will
be kicked into the fund. Unless the victim is dead or blown to ashes, (worse than just
being merely dead), the healing arts of the Temple practitioners are assured of success.
In those other more serious cases, there is a chance that the best efforts of the priests
will be to no avail!
A character with a good vitality rating has a good chance of being helped, but old,
infirm characters may be in big trouble. Dead characters who fail to be raised from
the dead are reduced to ashes. Even in such depressing circumstances though, there is
still hope: for a larger tithe, it is sometimes possible to resurrect a person even from an
ashen mess - but if this attempt fails, the character is lost forever and cannot be
restored by any means.
Anyone brought back from the dead will have but a single hit point and should limp
post-haste to the Adventurer's Inn. Those resurrected from their ashes will have all
their hit points restored (for all the money, you should get something free.)
