Re: The search for Sir Jean
Balthazar stands up and makes a grand gesture. "Well, " he proclaims, " if we're going to eat and drink and be merry, we might as well do it the magical way. Folks, I've been holding out on you all a bit. Normally, my magical feasts are only for fellow Hedonites, but you have proved yourselves worthy companions beyond reproach, and I don't think the heads of my clan will find anything to gripe about in my treating you all." He takes a dramatic pause, then with a sweep of his arms, he says, "I will now give you a True Feast of Hedonism!"
A magnificent table appears, laden with delectable fruits, beverages, meats, vegetables, desserts, and place settings for 8. 8 intricately carved chairs are positioned next to those 8 place settings, with plush cushions on the seats and backrests. 3 people also appear. One is a dignified elderly gentlemen in a butler's uniform, the other two are slender maidens in serving uniforms. Balthazar introduces the man, "This is Gerard. He is the head of the serving crew, and if you need anything, just ask him for it."
Gerard bows low and says, "At your service."
Balthazar sits at the head of the table, "Alright, dig in everybody! You need to feast for an hour for the magic to fully kick in. It is through these feasts that Hedonites stay in perfect health, despite their sometimes impulsive and risky exploits. After all, how can you enjoy the world if you're sick?"
Immediate Effects
Everyone is cured of all diseases. Even the little minor nagging itches and rashes. You all feel better than you've ever felt.
Everyone is healed for 5-8 hit points (from a nectar beverage on the table)
Effects that last for 12 hours
Immunity to poison
+1 to attacks and morale benefit as per bless spell
Immunity to fear, hopelessness, and panic
Interesting conjecture: despite all the drinks of alcoholic nature on the table, I don't believe anyone gets drunk, because I think that immunity to poison means that all contaminants in the bloodstream are eradicated.
