Protection from Spirits and Possession

[Maison D'âmes]

Some townsfolk have been marked by spirits as 'easy targets' for possession. I can remove these marks.

These spirits can possess an unconscious person, including adventurers. This isn't just having a spirit rider like the fae candy gives you. Call these wraith riders. Spirit riders may ride in the wagon with you and help out occasionally but they stay in the backseat. Wraith riders are riding you. Your body will be theirs to control. It's just the tiniest bit better than being enslaved since your mind is your own but your body isn't and worse than being created undead since you remember everything and get to watch yourself kill your friends.

So, if you don't want to be a meat puppet, and from personal experience I don't recommend it, I can do a couple of things.

First, I can draw a rune or place a mark that will protect your cabin from the non-corporeal spirits entering. Like a ward, so they're not just walking through your circles and murdering. Second I can also draw a rune or spirit mark individuals. The marks are limited, drawing the runes are not. The marks cost Spirit Components, the runes do not. The marks can't just be erased with a bit of water. The runes can.

I can't protect everyone with a spirit mark at once. The marks last for two years unless dfm'd, whether on the building or on the person. I could do all of the cabins, and the tavern if permitted, in one faire, but not protect anyone else permanently. And I will definitely need help with the costs.

So, I put it to the town, what would you like from me in the way of this protection?

A possessed person can pass through the protection without being permitted. Also spirit within the buildings cannot get out without possessing someone. It is more like a ward than anything. So if a noncorporeal spirit is pursing you, yes you can hide in a protected building.

I cannot screen out these spirits while in bodies. I feel most people wish to have their own spirits remain inside of them and there's no way to make this distinction. A spirit is a spirit.

I also cannot protect all of the buildings permanently at once. I could protect all of them with simple drawings, but those drawings can be erased, on purpose or by accident and only I can redraw them.

This is the same for people. I can paint protection onto your skin or fur, until you sweat or rub it off. Or I can do more permanent marks on your spirit. The latter costs me energy and resources I am willing to spend.
The cost to me is the same to remove different marks on others, particularly the townsfolk I mentioned that make them easier targets.

But ultimately I will need help with spirit components and a decision from the town on what buildings or people will be protected first.

I'm not sure help is needed, but we can talk about what is needed before the faire if you like. Send me a missive.
