"Kurvis Nurpico is the other priest among this second wave of colonists. He outwardly appears to be a curmudgeon, but at times his expression softens."

Kurvis is the counterpart to Eamon, who has been his best friend for many decades. Kurvis travels to Talmandor's Bounty to bless and sanctify it as a proper foothold of civilization as only a servitor of Abadar can. He respects Eamon's emphasis on community but maintains that for community to grow, it must be built on the bedrock of law.

APPEARANCE

Kurvis is relatively short, with a slight stoop to his shoulders. He keeps his steel-gray hair cut short. His face is lined with a few wrinkles. When not in armor, he favors a black robe. Kurvis seldom smiles but doesn't always scowl and can soften his expression when he wants. He and Eamon were born only a few years apart, but as a human, Kurvis is starting to show his age sooner than his friend.

SOCIAL NOTES

Referred to Eamon as "Father Easy".
Always happy to write scrolls as requested. For a fee of course.
Is the defacto judge in all legal matters.
Enhances his intimidation factor with a creepy stare.
Rarely says so, but is surprised at the amount of trust the troubleshooters have in himself as opposed to his colleague.
Considers the Locathah housing to be an expansion/district of talmandor's bounty.
Has stated that he will not charge for the use of repel vermin within the area of talmandor's bounty.
Has agreed that his services can be traded for fish and craftable coral samples by locathah instead of standard currency.
Is suspected as the source of the repeated application of a laurel wreath upon Father Eamon's grave

SPELLCASTING SERVICES

Costs(does not include material cost):

	gp	tradegood
0	60	6
1	120	12
2	240	24
3	360	36
4	480	48
5	600	60

tradegoods: Darkwood by the pound, Silk by the square yard, linen by square yard(double listed requirement), cotton by square yard, salt by the pound(double listed requirement), treated seaweed by the yard also accepts "intrinsically valuable" objects such as gemstones or pounds of valuable metal.

Unique/special costs:

Repel vermin.

Expected cost: 480gp.
Actual cost: 0gp.
Reason: Vermin endanger the crops of Talmandor's bounty, which puts everyone and the local economy at risk. It would cost him more NOT to cast the spell should someone be incapable of paying for this service.

Break Enchantment.

Expected cost: 600gp
Actual cost: 0 if cursed/diseased or enchanted but not criminally. 100gp if enchanted and has committed a criminal act as a result.
Reason: Enchantments often force someone to do something against their will, most often resulting in illegal activities. While the subject in this case cannot stop themselves, the subject's family are considered at fault if they do not recognise the impact of the enchantment before a crime is committed.
If the subject has committed a crime under the influence of the enchantment in question, the cost is 100gp. If the subject has not committed a crime OR is subject to a curse or magical disease that can be cured by this spell, the cost is 0gp in order to protect the town.

Life Bubble:

Expected cost: 600gp
Actual cost: ~300gp
Reason: The discount in this case is purely for any aquatic, non amphibious creature that wishes to do business in town beyond the Locathah district.

Red Hand of the killer:

Expected cost: 480gp
Actual cost: 0gp
Reason: Only cast in the course of a murder investigation.

Purify food and drink:

Expected cost: 60gp
Actual cost: 0gp
Reason: Same as Repel Vermin

Special option!:

Effective spell: Tongues
Expected cost: 240gp
Price: 15gp
:: Father Nurpico offers his services as a translator of unknown texts and as a mediator across language barriers. He charges the price of a translator rather than the spell he's using as he casts the spell each day regardless.
