The Chirurgeons Charm: This small amulet was found in the ruins near the time when we first arrived at the Hamlet. It is a simple grey stone upon which is depicted a red serpent wrapping around a stick or staff of some sort. It was found within the robes of one of the skeletons that the warriors have mockingly deemed "Bone Courtiers" due to their noble appearance. The Vestals and Occultists seem to take the best effects from this item, as it appears to increase the effectiveness of their healing magics. I am not sure how this item affects the spiritual miracles of the Vestals just as much as the arcane arts of the Occultists given that the two use such different methods for their healing. In fact, I once had our Arbalest carry the thing, and it even seemed to make her bandages staunch the flow of blood much faster. Truly this trinket is a healing item of great proport, though how it works eludes me. Lautress tells me that it is magic from the old times, but Monique disagrees, stating that it is a simple enchantment. I am not sure which of the two is correct, but it matters not. This little item has saved the life of many an adventurer during our time here, and I have no doubt it will continue to do so.
