After spending a week nursing the fallen cleric back to health and generally recuperating from the tussle with the milk demons, our group ponders their situation. The cleric reports that during his coma, he was visited by a minion of Belial and berated for his actions. As a result he is denied spells above 4th level until the situation is remedied and a temple is constructed.
