Who you gonna call? (An exorcist)

[Killick]

Killick found Story, poking them hard in the arm to call their attention. “I want to learn how to get rid of devils.”

[Story]

*flaps their arms wildly and stepping away at the poke* "Don't touch me" *grabbing their chest for a moment after turning and seeing who it is. "O hi!" *Laughing nervously at the word devil and looking around a moment* "Like Exorcisms? I mean I kind of learned in the wrong order...well the first time was proper...thou not...optimal success..." *Story grows sad remembering back to their first month of flowers as an adventurer, before clearing their throat and continueing.* "Some kind of binding circle around the" *cough* "host...Is a good start"

[Killick]

Killick ignored the first part for now, focusing instead on the binding circle. “How do you do that?”

[Story]

"Salt, Caulk, Eggshells, ooo sand! Sand would work i think." *considers for a moment* "I suppose a more permanent one could be constructed with enchanter. Perhaps Iron or Silver... Might be more powerful." *drifts off and pulls out notebook to start scribbling in*

[Killick]

Killick frowned, following them as they walked away. “Saying a bunch of thinking is not the same as answering. What do you know works?”

[Story]

*stops scribbling, looks up and raises an eyebrow* "The first three...probably...depending on how powerful the being possessing is...naturally" *saying the last not as confidently to start...trying to remember things lost over the years of their soul shuffling* "Apologizes, the libraries been ransacked recently." *taps their head* "I had to be reminded to set a broken bone before re-growing it. Can you imagine...those poor people...O well, i'm sure it got fixed if not we can re-break...Apologizes again. Did you have another question?"

[Killick]

It was difficult to pick out the relevant information when someone said so many words. “You didn’t actually answer my first question. You just started to, then said a lot of thoughts. I want to know how to get rid of devils. Making a circle is how you start. What then?”

[Story]

"O yes! thank you! Well the voices outloud are nice aren't they! So many times one wonder's what people are thinking. And then when you have...others...visiting...well it is rather nice to hear one's own voice sometimes..." *scribbles a few notes before stopping again* "O yes, Well then you remove the devil" *smiles awkwardly* "Ensuring is contained of the host in the circle in case. Stasis tends to be easiest thou then the battle is psychic. I mean like you probable incapacitated them to get the circle around them. If the circle has to be drawn around them then the pre-made may not work...ooo unless it had like a door so it could be a jar..." *scribbles a few more notes*

"So yes removing the Devil. not demon. those are different." *stops and thinks if they just said the wrong word before but nods it was correct* "So removal is based on the ritualist after that point. There is a battle of wits and wills. Personal connection with the host and getting the host to help is critical. Friends and Loved ones that are willing to put themselves at risk are utilized. Be wary of becoming the monster you hunt as the Exorcist is the highest risk of possession along with those helping. The ritualist will is going to pushing the Devil out of the body and back to wherever devil's come from, it leaves one vulnerable...pending how powerful the demon is additional measures maybe required... Ooor, confirm the host has no bone runes and remove their heart within the circle...thou pending on how powerful again there could be backlash..." *nods eyes drifting off for a moment*
