Bloodied Shrine
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Bloodied Shrine is a sacred place for Loviatar, goddess of pain and is located east of the room where 
Gut grants the Brand of the Absolute at X: 334 Y: -21.
The shrine is occupied by Loviatar's cleric 
Abdirak. He can give the player character the permanent bonus 
Loviatar's Love, provided they agree to participate in his sadomasochistic religious ritual. The buff is granted upon passing 
Intimidation or 
Performance checks (three in a row each), or upon failing three 
Constitution checks in a row.
If the player character has preemptively read the book titled 
On Receiving Her Grace lying on the table nearby, they also have an additional option to choose a weapon which Abdirak uses on them, which alters the type of damage dealt by Abdirak. Finally, the player character participating in the ritual can also remove their armour to gain the 
Ardent Apostle condition, which grants a [+4] bonus to Intimidation and Performance checks for the duration of the ritual.
Successful participating in the ritual grants the following inspiration:
A Kiss Without Mercy for party members with 
Acolyte background- The Art of Agony for party members with
Entertainer background
