Gragnel gets a pitted iron comb from inside his leather longcoat.

Gragnel runs his iron comb through his hair.

Gragnel loudly says, "Greetings, all. I am Reverend Gragnel Durbin, a faithful follower of our Lord Damaris and..."

Gragnel casually observes the area.

Gragnel loudly says, "Well, it seems this time I know quite a few of you in the crowd. Well, for any new folks, I hope we are well met today."

Gragnel matter-of-factly says, "Like I said, I am a follower of Lord Damaris. Although, it bears saying, I revere all thirty-nine Immortals of our traditional teachings."

Gragnel nods in agreement.

Gragnel loudly says, "With that in mind, I have prepared something in honor of her Ladyship Berengaria. I ask that you all please join me in prayer."

Gragnel clears his throat.

Gragnel recites:

   "Patient and kind, Berengaria.
     
    Loving and wise, Berengiaria."

Gragnel recites:

   "Today we are the lost children who gather at your apron strings.
    Like babes in search of their mother."

Gragnel recites:

   "We are the ones who beeseech you for guidence.
    We who are blinded by false words and even falser prophets."

Gragnel recites:

   "In your steps, growth spreads anew.
    No shadow cast could ever hold sway over a kingdom where you are present."

Gragnel recites:

   "Your purifying light clensing all sign of rot or decay,
    Bringing fresh blooms to bathe in the dawn. "

Gragnel recites:

   "In your arms, we find a comfort like none other in this world.
    A gentle touch which brings great love and soothes our worries with your warmth."

Gragnel recites:

   "Enfold us in your embrace so that we may find our strength in you."

Gragnel recites:

   "We pray these things in your name, Lady Berengaria.
    Please find our displays of worth in your eyes and bestow us with your graces."

Gragnel says, "Thank you, all."

Gragnel nods.
