Priestesses of Idun, Part II


Divine Tests
Trials may come when deceivers lure one away from what's wholesome.

1-11. Who will maintain the apples? The priestess is unable to cast some of her spells (50% chance for each one), possibly including her turn ability. Roll 1d6 to determine what she must do to be able to use every one of them again.
   [1] Collect 3d6 apples, preferably from a new location.
   [2] Engage in a youthful game or other activity with at least 2d6 other participants, and it should last at least 3d6 turns.
   [3] Warn a stranger about a poor health choice. Unless a follower of Idunn or similar divinity, they likely won't take it too well. Some of Idunn's husband's skaldic skill may be needed to remedy the situation.
   [4] Offer an apple to the next person she sees. If they eat it, then they will experience a random Idunn spell effect, as if cast on them. If not, then they will experience the opposite of one.
   [5] Engage in an act of fertility, whether to nourish a body or to conjoin with their husband.
   [6] The priestess's next healing spell or act won't go too well. It will either do the opposite of what's intended or not work at all. Most won't like those apples.

Clerics of Njordr, Part II


Divine Tests
The flow may show what truly matters once the tide recedes.

1-11. The winds shift, and the cleric loses access to some of his spells (50% chance for each one). Roll 1d6 for the ones that are lost to determine what he needs to do to regain them.
   [1] Be at or on the sea for 4d6 turns, or show off one's legs and feet for double that time if it's not nearby at least.
   [2] Savor prosperity, gaining a minimum of 1d6 x 10 gps worth from the tide, the land, or in direct coin.
