Vitality Ritual

Anya walks into the Inn and addresses those that are there, “I need to share the information that I have in regards to the Ritual of Vitality Restoration. I had spoken with Wesley at the last gather, but I feel like the information was not completely passed out to the town due to the chaos of Orc season.”
“The man that Dietrich and I used influence in May to contact to come and perform the Ritual is the High Ritualist of Windcrest and the Servant of the Phoenix. In exchange for coming and doing this for us, he has asked permission to make his own copy of the Ritual and one bar in cut gems.”
She pauses and unrolls a piece of parchment, “He also has the following demands that must be met if we want the ritual to succeed:
1 ) He is to be provided with two dedicated bodyguards for the duration of the ritual. These individuals must be able to block, parry, and spell parry in his name as he will not be able to defend himself once he begins the ritual. (If we do not have two individuals capable of this, he will accept one with a mage standing by to grant more defenses to the protector should they be needed)
2 ) The basic enhancement to his protections as would be granted by a protection mage. (Protection buff slot)
3 ) Four resist magic spells cast upon himself prior to the ritual.
4 ) Two tenth rank ice armor spells cast upon himself prior to the ritual.
5 ) A "Great Toughness" alchemy
6 ) A Candle of Life Restoration be available for use at his discretion upon the completion of the ritual (he will only ask that it be burned if necessary)
7 ) A portal back to Vannaphusak or Silverthorne City upon completion of the ritual
8 ) If we have someone in town capable of granting a Paladins Blessing, he would greatly appreciate that as well.
9 ) A life restoration effect for him should things go horribly wrong.
10 ) These conditions are not negotiable, but if we have alternative means of providing similar protection and assurances he will accept those.”
“Dietrich and I have both performed Rituals, so we need the town to be aware that if the Ritualist is harmed in any fashion during the Ritual performance, it will be disturbed and if the Ritualist is unable to contain it, it will then backlash to every single person in sight of the Ritual. I know you are thinking that one bar in cut gems is a lot, when Ziggy has the ability to cast the Ritual now, but I caution you that if anything goes wrong with Ziggy at maximum capacity to start the ritual, there will be absolutely no room for error. If we pay this gentleman and have him come and assist in the ritual, we will have more wiggle room… especially since he said he is going to bring the “Blessing of the Phoenix” with him to aid us all in fighting Death.”
“For set up on this, it needs to be done outside as walls can interrupt the magical flow. It cannot be done under a dimensional ward as it will block the return of the Vitality to those invested in the Circle. It cannot be done inside a Circle of Protection as that blocks all magic flowing across it. Suggested time to perform the ritual was noon as those that serve death will be limited to only those that can function in daylight in coming to fight us.”
She rolls up the parchment and looks around, “Any questions?”
