"Mmhmm. If they're recently enough dead and some of the remains are available."

"Mn." 

"How recent is recent?"

"I can get two different spells that can do it; the less expensive one only works within fifteen days unless the corpse is magically preserved, but the other one works up to a hundred and fifty years, for me. There's also a ninth-tier spell - spells in my world only go up to ninth tier, and I can cast up to eighth right now - that doesn't need remains, I expect to be able to do that eventually."

"How eventually." 

"Wangji..."

"How. Eventually." 

"My guess at home was ten years. It might be more or less than that, here, depending on how much there is for me to do - almost certainly no less than five."

Nod. 

"There was...a war. And then some further incidents after the war."

Raafi nods. "I probably shouldn't jump into geopolitics my first week in a new place, but I should hear about that."

"I would be happy to tell you." 

Happy is maybe an overstatement but the sentiment is genuine. 

"When you're ready - I never stay in one place very long, but I might stay here for a month, if you'll have me."

"Is there some way to contact you when you have left."

"I can check in, one of my divinations lets me communicate at a distance."

"I would be grateful." 

Nod. "We can discuss the details before I go. Is there anything else I ought to be looking into right now?"

"I don't know of anyone who's died within the past fifteen days but there are people who have died much more recently than the past hundred and fifty years whose bodies are mostly intact."

"Well, I like to know a little bit about people before I raise them, and as I mentioned that spell is expensive, but I can prepare up to three resurrections a day, starting tomorrow. -possibly I should explain how spell tiers work." He does so, including that Resurrection is a seventh-tier spell and he gets two of those and one eighth-tier per day, not counting domain slots that can't be used for that. "I usually charge for spells - most clerics do, if they're not casting to advance their gods' interests - plus Resurrection requires an offering; diamonds are most reliable for it. - I'm not expecting anything for the conjuration or healing, that was to my own benefit as much as yours."

"Money isn't a problem, although I think you will want to talk to the other sects for some of this..."

"Certainly. Because they'll be covering their own resurrections, or is it more complicated than that?"

"And because they'll know their own people better, if you want descriptions."

"All right. We can work on arranging that today - I'd prefer to start with noncombatants, if that's possible, until I know more about the war. I'll want to know more about your undead situation, too, but that seems like a less urgent problem."

"Two of the people I'm thinking of didn't die in the war at all." 

"That sounds like a good place to start. Is this a good time to tell me about them?"
