¶ Midwife Nirvea (Deceased)
Role: Healer
Personality: Warm, Hopeful, Devout
¶ Cause of Death
Inaction from the Fellowship
¶ Background
Former midwife of The Hollows, recently unmasked as a Raven Sister. She now travels openly with the party, heartened by the road and the chance to do good beyond the bounds of secrecy. Her rituals and blessings are no longer cloaked. She speaks Raven’s name aloud with no small amount of pride clear on her face.
¶ Appearance
Tall and firm-shouldered, Nirvea wears traveling robes dyed in storm-grey and soft purple, embroidered with discreet raven sigils. Her healer’s satchel brims with dried herbs, black feathers, and small carved stones.
¶ Behavior Script
Default Action:
- Heals 1 Strength or Empathy to an Injured target within Near range by burning herbs or humming low druidic melodies—no roll required.
- If not needed for healing, she murmurs blessings, draws sigils with ash, or prepares bundles of herb-smoke to ward off misfortune.
If Someone Is Broken:
- Immediately moves to aid them regardless of danger. Places a black feather on their chest, lights a pinch of incense, and chants until they breathe again. May become vulnerable during this act.
If Attacked:
- Avoids combat whenever possible, but if caught in it, she prays aloud to Raven. If actively defending a Broken player, she may be targeted and rolls defense as needed (Agility or Dodge, if assigned).
¶ Abilities
Field Remedy (1/round)
