Action by Reese
Reese is concerned that she hasn't been able to acquire a weapon against the Slaver. She has a strong desire to be one of those who get to fight against him, not only for herself, but for some of those who follow her often into battle and been attending her missions such as possibly (Killian, Barric, Luca, Esoka and Rymarr). She feels driven to protect Compact in general and many of those around her, including those who might be of interest to the Horned God and have joined her in battles. She has pondered and pondered how she might find some weapons for her group and herself and hasn't come up with any brilliant ideas. So she decides to turn to the faith. Reese is far from an expert investigator and isn't even very clever about the politics of being allowed a weapon or getting some for her crew.
She would really like this chance for them all as she feels that fighting the abyss and being able to join in against the Horned God will be important to this group. They also have a vested interest and much to protect.
Reese feels (although) she could be wrong that she has a special connection with Gloria. She would like to invite this group of warriors and do vigils at the shrine of Gloria, praying for insight on where they might be able to find some weapons (preferably in Grayson lands). She wants to implore to Gloria, asking for her help in empowering them to battle against the slaver in the defense of compact and in defense the loved one's around them. She wants to ask for her aid in fight and defending against the slaver and in finding a way to locate a cache of weapons that her group could go search for. She plans to be devoted, passionate and humble in prayers, asking rather than making any demands. She does plan to express confidence in herself though and to express her intention to use the weapons only honorably and only in battle against the slaver, if they are found. She seeks any insight into this that might help them. She will explore any leads she can get and look for advise about how they can join the future battle against the Hornded God in General.

Result
Reese prays. And she prays, and prays, and prays some more, until it seems like she's going to go unanswered. And still she comes to the shrines and prays, and makes her way through her devotions to each of the gods in turn. And as she does, her prayers change. No longer is it about her - it slowly changes into protecting people. Standing for the innocent. Stepping between an evil she cannot fight directly, and the death of good women and true.
And in that moment, in the Shrine of Gloria, with Dame Esoka praying next to her, Reese sees - herself, and a small group. They are fighting something with teeth and fangs and far too many eyes to be entirely normal. Something awful that creeps in the night and that she knows - she knows deep in her bones is hungry, and hunting for one of the daughters. It hunts, and she must stand in its way, she and those with her. "RUN," she screams to the others, prepared to fight it alone to defend her friends.
The vision is over as abruptly as it comes, but she knows where they are. She knows that patch of forest, those stones, that rock formation nearby. She knows, and she feels that tug on her heart to go, to stand in the way of evil. To stop it if she can. What she doesn't know, is if there is still time to get there before whatever that thing was comes to Arx looking for blood.
