I love the smell of healing in the morning...
Perrato greets the dawn as always, peering at the horizon, meditating on how the newly shed light falls upon the flora Arret graciously provides and how the panoply of diurnal animal species will begin the day, once again able to make their way in the world aided by the gift of sight. He communes with Vagrani by means of what other men might describe as "natural theology", but too few outside his sect understand what that really means. Soon he is granted with divine favor and charged with the obligation to use it justly for those who respect The Light and thrive in its bounty.
Walking over to the gathered mounts and their grim, cadaverous cargo, the cleric takes the dangling hand of the fallen half-orc and places his knee to the ground, chanting quietly and almost melodically as he does so. "Vagrane, gratia tua corpum amici mei conserva dum suum fatum ultimum congredior potest." And the Prayer for Gracious Corporeal Preservation of the Fallen is complete. [Perrato casts Gentle Repose on the corpse of Totmacher.] He sees the decapitated corpse of the sorcerer, and ruefully remembers the harsh, utilitarian discussions which current tragedy has brought upon the party. His ultimate fate lies not with the group and their coming endeavors. "Lo siento, amigo. Verdaderamente, lo siento, Señor Villhalas."
Turning again to the dawn, the eternal reminder of how the present meets the future, Perrato looks to his battered colleagues, their wounds barely stanched as the stench of the vanquished gnolls begins to carry across the winds. He continues his work and, as always, thinks about things to come.
