call spirit ritual

My name is audrahni. I am traveling cleric of ashava, the empyreal lord of dancers, lonely spirits, and moonlight. Abstalar has requested my assistance in leading a call spirit ritual to call nualias spirit forth from the boneyard where she still awaits judgement from pharasma, to speak with her, and perhaps lead her on a path of atonement so that she may enter the plane of elysium.  I knew nualia as a girl, not very well but I do know her soul is the very definition of the lonely spirits my faith urges me to guide and assist. 

Underlined book please 22

Nualia needs to know that her descent into darkness was not entirely of her own making. Her foster father, Ezakien, the people of sandpoint, even abstalar are all culpable and share in the blame. She must also be reminded that despite the trauma and the ridicule she faced, there were good moments in her life as well growing up here. Perhaps if we are able to show her that accountability and provide her that forgiveness, her spirit may yet obtain salvation from an eternity of torment in the abyss. 


Father zantus and audrahni have procured some reagents for the ritual. Over head, the full moon is shining brightly directly overhead of the courtyard amidst the seven standing stones, a few wispy dark clouds. You see audrahni inscribing a circle with symbols of ashava and runes representing the call spirit ritual. Zantus starts setting up the items he's gathered, a mirror, a white cloth and a blood soaked cloth and a small lit lantern in the middle of the central circular stone platform. You see audrahni lighting incense and candles and setting them up as well. The last thing father zantus does is pull out the bones of nualia, you see her mutated and deformed arm that she gained from worshipping the mother of monsters lamashtu. Audrahni looks over at all of.you and says we appreciate you all being here to bear witness, now, we will begin the ritual. It may take some time for us to conjure the spirit so please just observe and if things start to go awry, intervene as you see fit and we will do our best as well. * audrahni begins the prayer and father zantus begins reciting with her, both of them chanting, ashava moonlit guide of lost souls we call upon your grace to mend the fractured in this shadowed space. 
You see their bodies start to sway as they chant together around the pedestal with all the reagents and candles and incense. You feel an unnatural wind pick up as the flames from the candles and torches start to dance. Faint whorls of moonlight begin to manifest and you get a glimpse of dim figures starting to dance in a circle around audrahni and zantus. As this continues, these manifestations of the magic grow more and more obvious with an unnerving chill settling in the air.
