Saltmarsh adventure update (haunted house progress)

 Marcus healed over several weeks on Ventris Island, sustained by prayer and the care of Melkeras's household. The battle axe that had served him � despite never being proficient with it � was retired. He purchased a proper footman's mace and flail, weapons befitting a cleric. He now wears the chain mail recovered from Prince Horedel's tomb with a new shield, giving him formidable protection (AC 3) for the trials ahead.
 == Current Status ==
-'''Healthy''' � fully healed at 14/14 HP with all spell slots available. Arrived in Saltmarsh, ready to face whatever haunts the old house. Now properly equipped with proficient weapons and heavy armour.
+'''Wounded and tapped out''' - 10/14 HP, with all healing prayers spent until he can rest and pray anew at dawn. He carries a single-use clerical '''scroll of hold person''' found in the house. He remains convinced the house is no true haunt - he has felt nothing of the undead within it.

	Marcus used his divine boon (Cure Light Wounds) immediately on the unconscious [[Mira Ashwood\|Mira]], but rolled only 1 — healing just 1 HP, not enough to restore consciousness. [[Melisana of Ventris\|Melisana]] then used her boon (rolled 8, maximum) to bring Mira back. Marcus found a prayer book containing a single-use Bless spell in the temple library and kept it for later use.
