He walked up the marble staircase that led up to the Greek-style teh the open doorway

There were several players inside the tee golden statue of Gaia Merlin noticed that several of the depictions of Gods and Goddesses that decorated the large platfor, this was an indication that a deity was responding to prayer, one of the core mechanics behind the cleric class

Besides the players, there were a s, and a couple of priests doing odd jobs around the place, such as cleaning the te tips

Merlin was approached by a priest earing a friendly s this one

"Good evening, what has brought you to our hu a smile "Are you here to pray? If so feel free to pray at your leisure If you're here for so else entirely, you need only ask"
